Banner Engineering Q4X laser distance sensor dual teach mode model

Click2Contact

Banner Engineering has improved its Q4X laser distance sensor with a dual teach mode model. Featuring updated firmware, the Q4X dual teach mode sensor combines window thresholds on both target distance and target reflected intensity, allowing the Q4X to solve difficult applications. The Q4X can now detect clear objects without requiring a retroreflector. Dual mode can be used to error-proof applications by ensuring the correct colour part is located at the correct position.

The Q4X detects distance changes as small as 1 mm and covers a 25-300 mm range. The sensor is suitable for difficult distance-based sensing applications as it easily detects objects regardless of target surface reflectivity, including black foam on black plastic, black rubber in front of metal, multicolour packaging and targets of all colours. Now with the dual teach mode, the sensor can detect small changes in reflected intensity for targets inside the distance threshold.

Offering a simplified user experience, the Q4X includes a bright readout on a highly visible, angled four-digit display that is easily viewed from multiple vantage points. The Q4X also offers intuitive user set-up utilising three tactile push-buttons located below the display.

The Q4X is constructed with robust housing rated to IP67, IP68 or IP69K, allowing use in wet and high-pressure washdown environments, durable FDA-grade stainless steel resists mechanical impact, overtightening, extreme vibration and aggressive cleaning procedures.
