The Banner Q4X Sensor Series provides versatile, rugged laser distance sensors offering superior performance and capable of detecting sub-millimeter changes in distance.
The Steiner Automation & Controls team can help you review and select the right Q4X Series Sensor based on sensing range, analog or discrete input/output, IO-link, resolution/repeatability, and housing style compatible with your required detection application.
Q4X Sensor Series Features
- Discrete, analog (0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA), clear object, and IO-Link models available
- Reliable sensing range from as close as 25 mm and as far as 610 mm
- Detects across a variety of target colors, materials and surfaces based on distance
- Clear distance readout from angled four-digit display
- Robust housing rated to IP69K with FDA-grade stainless steel
- Easy setup with responsive buttons
- Rugged design resists mechanical impact, over tightening and extreme vibration
- Dual teach mode (intensity + distance) is ideal for error-proofing applications and enables clear object detection with no retro-reflector required
