Banner Engineering: Q5X Laser Sensor Now Available with Analog Output, Increased Detection Distance, and Higher Excess Gain
August 30, 2021
Banner’s versatile Q5X series delivers best-in-class laser sensor performance for a wide variety of detection functions. Now its capabilities have been expanded even further. The latest model extends detection distance from 2 to 3 meters, incorporates analog and discrete outputs, and features increased excess gain to easily identify traditionally challenging targets. This increase is approximately 1.8 times higher than that of 2 m models, to enable sensing of dark targets at the far end of its extended range. The 3 m Analog Q5X has models available in 0–10 V or 4–20 mA. Both models also come with a single discrete output that can be programmed to be NPN or PNP, and IO-Link.
The Q5X background suppression laser is a powerful, problem-solving sensor in a cost-effective industry-standard rectangular housing. The best-in-class laser sensor features a range from 50 mm to 5 m, is easy to use, and provides reliable detection of the most challenging targets.
- – High excess gain for reliable detection of the darkest objects (<0.1% reflective black targets)
- – Reliable detection of black targets against a black background, black targets against a shiny metal background, clear and reflective objects, multicolor packaging, and targets of all colors
- – Jam detection model alerts operators to production line jams reducing or preventing downtime
- – Dual teach mode measures both distance plus light intensity to solve the most challenging applications
- – 270-degree rotatable M12 QD to meet a variety of mounting constraints
- – Programmable via on-board user interface, remote teach, IO-Link or optional remote sensor display
- – Remote Sensor Display (RSD) enables remote programming and monitoring
