Banner Engineering Q4X laser distance sensor 100 mm models

Click2Contact

Banner Engineering has announced its Q4X laser distance sensor is now available in 100 mm models optimised for higher performance over a shorter measuring range. The Q4X high-resolution models offer twice the measurement precision and a 25% smaller laser spot than the longer range 300 mm Q4X models, making them useful for detecting small features.

The Q4X sensors are available with bipolar discrete (NPN and PNP) and analog (0-10 V or 4-20 mA) output options. With high-resolution capabilities, discrete models can detect objects as thin as 0.5 mm, while analog models precisely inspect part dimensions and positioning with resolution down to 0.15 mm.

Banner's Q4X 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. Also available with a dual teach mode, discrete Q4X sensors can detect clear objects or changes in signal intensity due to changing colour or reflectivity.

For 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 conveniently located below the display.

The Q4X is constructed with a 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.
