Laser Sensor detects 1 mm distance changes.

Press Release Summary:



Designed for difficult distance-based applications over range of 25–300 mm, Model Q4X detects distance changes as small as 1 mm on targets such as black objects on black backgrounds or reflective items. High excess gain and 64-element imager combine to minimize errors in detection, counting, and validating orientation. Supplied in IP67, IP68, and IP69K rated stainless steel housing, sensor has angled 4-digit, 7-segment LED display and provides bipolar outputs. 



Original Press Release:



Versatile Laser Sensor Reliably Detects 1 mm Distance Changes on Difficult Black or Shiny Targets



New Q4X from Banner Engineering has angled display for easy setup and viewing



A rugged, versatile laser sensor designed for difficult distance-based applications over a range of 25-300 mm has been introduced by Banner Engineering (www.bannerengineering.com).



Applications include:

• Automotive

• Tire/rubber

• Materials Handling

• Packaging

• Quality Control

• Automation

• Lumber/timber

• Metalworking

• Pharmaceuticals

• Medical devices

• Plastics

• Printing

• Robotics

• Food processing

• Appliance Manufacturing



The new Q4X sensor reliably detects distance changes as small as 1 mm on such challenging targets as black objects on black backgrounds or reflective items. High excess gain and a 64-element imager combine to minimize errors in detection, counting and validating orientation.



Its versatility allows OEMs or end users to reduce inventory of different sensor types. Comprehensive menus are easy to navigate.



An angled four-digit, seven-segment LED display with convenient push-buttons allows intuitive setup and easy viewing. A bright output indicator provides high visibility of operation. Bipolar (PNP and NPN) outputs integrate the sensor with PLC or other control units.



Its stainless steel housing is rated IP67, IP68, IP69K and is Ecolab certified. Robust construction withstands impact, vibration, over-tightening and aggressive cleaning.



Banner Engineering is a leading manufacturer of vision, photoelectric and ultrasonic sensors, fiber optic assemblies, machine guarding systems, measurement and inspection systems and wireless network products. The company provides local application support worldwide.
