Banner Engineering QM26 and QMH26 photoelectric sensors

Banner Engineering QM26 and QMH26 photoelectric sensors are designed for the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries. They provide reliable performance in manufacturing and packaging zones, including contact zones, splash zones and non-contact zones.

The sensors can be used in areas where they may come into contact with food or materials, making them suitable for harsh washdown environments with high pressure, extreme temperatures and chemicals.

The QM26 is housed in a non-toxic 316 L stainless steel housing and can survive high pressure washdowns and temperature cycling, ranging from -30 to +60°C. The sensor is ECOLAB-certified for inexhaustible sensor life in chemically cleaned environments and is intended for splash zone areas. The QM26 has easy side mounting for quick setup and installation.

The QMH26 is similar to the QM26 but is designed with minimal grooves and crevices, reducing opportunities for bacteria to hide and multiply. It is self-draining for clean-in-place applications. The sensor’s hygienic mounting shape reduces contamination risk, making it suitable for use in contact zones.

Both models operate in retroflective, clear object and adjustable field background suppression mode. The QM26 also operates in opposed mode.
