Laser measurement sensor suits wide-ranging applications

As a new addition to Banner’s measurement sensor offering, the Q4X600 analogue sensor expands the types of applications Banner can solve. The Q4X600 features a reliable sensing range from as close as 25 mm to as far as 610 mm. Increased excess gain allows the high- resolution sensor to detect even darker targets than discrete models at the high end of its range. The higher excess gain expands the sensor’s range of applications. Additionally, remote input allows for remote teaching, as well as laser-enabled and advanced measurement modes, to expand the range of applications further. The Q4X600 offers easy setup with an intuitive display and responsive buttons. The display provides clear user feedback for easy configuration. A bright output indicator provides high visibility of sensor operation. The LED output indicator and real-time distance feedback of analogue output (0-10 V, 4-20 mA) offer simple troubleshooting, leading to reduced installation costs. With the easy-to-read, four-digit display, setup time is minimised, and the remote sensor display (RSD) can be used for remote monitoring, configuration, and storage of up to six programs. The Q4X600 has a rugged, stainless steel housing that allows for its use in challenging, distance-based

applications. The compact housing allows for it to fit into tight spaces, and a flat face option is available for food and beverage plants. The rugged design resists mechanical impact, over-tightening, and extreme vibration. The robust FDA-grade stainless steel housing matches even the most demanding environments: IP67, IP68, and IP69K. Additionally, industry standard 18 mm threaded barrel housing is an option for quick installation. The Q4X600 can be used to monitor the presence or absence of objects in the production line, to detect part orientation, black foam on black plastic, shiny packaging, multi-coloured packaging, clear or transparent objects, and for error-proofing in part-in-place applications.
