Banner Engineering has announced the Q4X laser distance sensor, featuring superior and versatile sensing performance. The Q4X reliably detects distance changes as small as 1 mm and covers a 25 to 300 mm range across multiple target colours, materials and surfaces. With the ability to detect presence/absence of a target, or an object’s orientation, the Q4X solves a variety of sensing applications.
The sensor is optimal 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. Additionally, the sensor provides superior resistance to ambient light interference.
Offering a simplified user experience, the Q4X provides a clear readout from the angled four-digit display, easily viewed from multiple vantage points. The unit also offers intuitive user setup utilising three tactile buttons conveniently located below the display.
For use in wet and high-pressure wash-down environments, the sensor is constructed with robust housing rated to IP69K. Durable FDA-grade stainless steel resists mechanical impact, over tightening and extreme vibration.
To accommodate diverse industries and applications, the Q4X provides reliable detection of:
• Black foam in front of black plastic in automotive interior and exterior assembly.
• Parts of varying colours in consumer packaged goods and automotive industries.
• Black rubber in front of metal in robotic assembly, especially automotive.
• Multicoloured packaging and secondary packaging in food, beverage and cosmetics.
• Small parts for automated assembly processes, such as caps, seals, o-rings, washers, vials and jars.
• A wide array of parts in vibratory feeder bowl equipment, including part level detection in the bowl (bowl empty, bowl full), and part present in the feeder track (i.e. track full).
