Banner Diffuse Contrast Sensor, Barrel Sensor, 0 → 300 mm Detection Range

The Q3X Sensor is an Expert™ laser diffuse contrast sensor for low contrast detection application. Some of the models within the Q3X series are able to ignore targets beyond a factory-set background suppression distance. The combination of low contrast diffuse sensing of targets while ignoring objects beyond the region of interest eliminates the biggest problem of diffuse mode sensing, changing background conditions affecting the contrast detection.
This series of laser contrast sensors offers the user high speed performance capturing up to 2,000 events per second. The sensors are durable and rugged plus they also offer a simple user experience with clear readouts from the LED 3 digit display. The Q3X sensors are easy to use, easy to setup rugged and used for presence / absence or orientation detection plus suitable in for use in a variety of environments including those with cutting fluids and oil.

IP67, IP68 IP69K

Bolster the accuracy of your automated operations with this contrast sensor from Banner. It uses laser light to detect differences in contrast between colours, such as those found on printed labels or colour-coding on manufactured items. As it can hone in on relatively low levels of contrast, it's a good choice for applications where differences between parts are minute. Panel mounting means the sensor is quick and easy to install, while the built-in responsive buttons and three-digit display make it a breeze to use. Its M12 electrical connection makes it a cinch to hook up to your automated system.

• Wide detection range between 0 and 300mm for versatility
• IP69K rating means it's dust-tight and protected against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets
• Nickel-plated zinc housing is resistant to corrosion and wear
• Rapid response time of 5ms for speedy performance
• Broad operating temperature range between -10°C and +50°C for use in challenging conditions

• Food and beverage production
• Automotive manufacturing
• Industrial engineering

This sensor can capture up to 2000 events per second, so it's well-suited to fast-moving production lines.
