The Banner SM312LVAGQD is a robust photoelectric sensor engineered for high-precision detection in industrial automation and material handling applications. Operating on a DC power supply, it ensures reliable and consistent performance across a wide range of manufacturing and processing environments. This makes it a dependable choice for systems that require uninterrupted operation and accurate sensing.

Featuring a visible red LED beam, the SM312LVAGQD provides precise, non-contact detection with the added advantage of easy alignment. The visibility of the sensing beam simplifies installation and maintenance, allowing operators to quickly and accurately position the sensor for optimal performance. This feature is particularly valuable in applications where alignment errors could result in production downtime or compromised quality.

The sensor utilizes a retroreflective sensing mode, enabling detection of objects using a single sensor and a reflector. This configuration offers flexibility in installation while maintaining high detection reliability. The retroreflective mode is effective for detecting objects of varying sizes, shapes, and materials, making the SM312LVAGQD suitable for conveyor systems, packaging lines, and automated assembly operations where consistent detection is critical.

Built to withstand challenging industrial environments, the SM312LVAGQD carries an IP67 rating, offering complete protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. Its NEMA 4X compliance ensures resistance to corrosion, splashing water, and exposure to harsh chemicals or environmental conditions. This combination of protection ratings ensures that the sensor remains fully operational in a wide range of applications, from clean indoor facilities to rugged outdoor production lines.

Operating within a 10–30 V DC supply voltage, the SM312LVAGQD is compatible with a variety of control systems and industrial circuits. Its compact design allows installation in tight spaces without compromising sensing performance, while its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Engineered by Banner Engineering, a leader in industrial sensing solutions, the SM312LVAGQD delivers a balance of precision, visibility, and durability. Its combination of DC power operation, visible red LED beam, retroreflective sensing mode, and IP67/NEMA 4X protection makes it an ideal choice for industries that demand accurate, non-contact object detection in challenging environments. The sensor’s ease of alignment, versatility, and ruggedness make it a dependable component in any automated system, supporting efficiency, accuracy, and long-term performance.
