Banner Engineering L-GAGE LE250 and LE550 dual discrete laser sensors

Banner Engineering has expanded its L-GAGE LE family of laser sensors with the LE250 and LE550 dual discrete laser sensors. They are designed with the same robust housing, intuitive interface and linear array technology as the company’s analog models.

The sensors feature two independently configurable discrete outputs, which can be set up as switch points or sensing windows for simple part detection and feedback on position. For example, by utilising two overlapping windows, operators can indicate if the target is correctly positioned, too close, too far away or not present.

With a wide 100 to 1000 mm operating range and larger spot size, the LE550 is a detection solution for diverse measurement applications, including roll diameter, loop control, thickness measurement and positioning.

Alternatively, the LE250 is optimised for higher measurement precision and provides a submillimetre inspection solution for measurements ranging from 100 to 400 mm. The product also features a smaller spot size of approximately 1 mm, which provides consistent detection of smaller features and measurements across targets of varying colours, including multicoloured packaging.

The laser sensors have a two-line, eight-character display, allowing for easy readability, quick adjustments and simple menu navigation. The visible red, Class 2 laser beam and small spot size ensure quick setup and alignment. The sensors are ready to measure out of the box and, with multiple mounting bracket options available, can easily be installed in a wide range of applications.
