Banner Engineering: Q5X Time-of-Flight Sensor Now Available with 10-Meter Range
February 14, 2023
Banner’s versatile Q5X series delivers best-in-class laser sensor performance and very high excess gain for a wide variety of applications. It is especially useful for industries such as material handling, packaging, lumber and construction, and automotive manufacturing. The latest model extends detection up to 10 meters. This distance is twice the maximum range of the available Q5XKLAF5000-Q8 model.
In addition to this increased range, the new model offers the same benefits of the Q5X series, including reliable detection of the darkest objects (<0.1% reflective black targets), black targets against a black background, black targets against a shiny metal background, clear and reflective objects, multicolor packaging, and targets of all colors. It features a durable IP67-rated housing, a programmable on-board user interface, remote teach, and IO-Link, and it is compatible with Banner’s optional Remote Sensor Display accessory.
