The Banner M18GRYPQ is a robust and dependable proximity/photoelectric sensor engineered to deliver precise object detection in demanding industrial environments. As part of the M18 series, this sensor combines durable construction with reliable sensing technology and versatile mounting, making it a trusted solution for automation, material handling, and manufacturing applications.

A standout feature of the M18GRYPQ is its rugged nickel-plated brass housing, designed to withstand the challenges of heavy industrial use. The robust material offers superior resistance to mechanical wear, vibration, and impact while also providing a high level of corrosion resistance. This ensures long service life even in environments where other sensor housings may degrade over time.

The unit is designed in an M18 barrel-style format with a flat window, a widely used industry standard that simplifies integration into existing systems. This compact and versatile form factor allows for straightforward mounting in tight or challenging spaces, while the flat window provides stable optical performance and reduces the risk of lens scratches or contamination. Whether retrofitting or installing in new equipment, the design enables quick setup and dependable positioning.

Engineered to perform in harsh conditions, the M18GRYPQ carries an IP67 environmental rating, ensuring complete protection against dust ingress and safeguarding the sensor during temporary submersion in water. This makes it well-suited for dusty factory floors, outdoor installations, and areas subject to washdowns or exposure to moisture. Operators can depend on consistent detection performance without interruptions caused by environmental challenges.

The sensor operates within a supply voltage range of 10–30 V DC, offering broad compatibility with common industrial control systems and power supplies. This wide voltage range ensures flexibility across different setups and makes the M18GRYPQ easy to integrate without the need for additional power conversion. The sensor’s design provides reliable and stable operation across its entire voltage range, maintaining performance even in dynamic production environments.

While the M18GRYPQ does not feature an onboard display, its streamlined design focuses on durability and core sensing performance. Status indication and output configuration are handled through standard wiring, ensuring simple, dependable integration with control systems. The absence of a display reduces potential points of failure, further enhancing the sensor’s ruggedness in challenging applications.

Applications for the M18GRYPQ include conveyor systems, part detection in automated assembly, packaging lines, robotics, and general machine monitoring. Its durable construction and reliable sensing capability make it ideal for environments where consistent performance and minimal downtime are critical to maintaining operational efficiency.

In summary, the Banner M18GRYPQ combines rugged nickel-plated brass construction, IP67 environmental protection, a compact barrel mount design, and wide voltage compatibility. Built for demanding industrial conditions, it delivers reliable detection performance and long-lasting durability, making it a trusted solution for automation and manufacturing environments where resilience and precision are essential.
