The Banner DQ12RB6FF50 is a compact and reliable photoelectric proximity sensor designed to meet the demands of industrial automation environments. Combining a highly visible sensing beam with rugged construction and flexible installation options, this sensor is engineered to provide accurate and consistent detection across a broad range of applications.

Operating on a 10–30 V DC power supply, the DQ12RB6FF50 integrates easily into standard industrial control systems. Its wide voltage tolerance ensures stable operation even when fluctuations occur, making it a versatile choice for both new equipment installations and retrofit projects in diverse industries such as packaging, material handling, food and beverage, automotive, and electronics manufacturing.

The sensor uses a visible red LED beam, which makes setup and alignment straightforward. The bright beam spot can be seen by the human eye, enabling technicians to quickly and accurately align the sensor during installation. This simplifies commissioning, reduces downtime, and ensures precise detection of objects, including those with varying shapes, colours, or surface finishes.

Built to withstand tough operating conditions, the DQ12RB6FF50 carries an IP67 rating, which certifies that it is fully dust-tight and resistant to water exposure, including temporary immersion. This level of protection ensures reliable performance in environments where dust, oils, vibration, or occasional washdowns are present. Its rugged housing construction further enhances durability, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring long-term service life.

The sensor is supplied with a 2 m pre-wired cable, which provides secure connectivity and flexible mounting options. The medium cable length is ideal for routing through machinery or connecting to control cabinets without excessive slack, supporting neat and efficient cable management.

As a proximity-mode sensor, the DQ12RB6FF50 is well-suited for detecting the presence or absence of objects within its sensing field. It is commonly applied in conveyor monitoring, object verification, part positioning, and packaging operations. For example, it can confirm that products are properly positioned on a line before sealing or detect the passage of components in automated assembly systems. Its compact form factor makes it particularly effective for installations where space is limited but dependable performance is essential.

By combining visible red LED sensing, flexible DC power compatibility, IP67-rated durability, and installation-ready cabling, the DQ12RB6FF50 offers a powerful yet practical sensing solution. Its design reflects Banner’s commitment to delivering sensors that improve productivity, reduce errors, and maintain reliability even in demanding conditions.

In summary, the Banner DQ12RB6FF50 is a robust and efficient photoelectric proximity sensor that ensures consistent detection in industrial automation. With its easy alignment, strong environmental protection, and user-friendly installation, it provides a cost-effective way to enhance safety, accuracy, and efficiency in modern production environments.
