WORLD-BEAM QS30 Clear Object Sensor
Uses & Applications
Overview
PW12-rated sensor in a worldwide standard WORLD-BEAM QS30 housing senses clear objects.
- Reliably detects clear, translucent, and opaque objects faster than ultrasonic sensors
- Compensates for dust or contamination on the sensor or reflector by using an automatic compensation algorithm
- 3 selectable thresholds based on type of target being detected
- Easy configuration of sensor via push buttons or remote wire
- Includes a BRT-2X2LVC reflector and a BRT-40X19A reflector in the box
- Rugged IP67 NEMA 6 housing for harsh environments; 1200 psi washdown rated per NEMA PW12
- Compact housing, mounting versatility — 30 mm threaded barrel or side-mount
