Q5X Series
High Power, Multi-Function Laser Sensor
The Q5X background-suppression laser is a powerful, problem-solving sensor in a cost-effective industry-standard rectangular housing. The best-in-class laser sensor is available with ranges from 50 mm to 10 m, is easy to use, and provides reliable detection of the most challenging targets.
- High excess gain for reliable detection of the darkest objects (<0.1% reflective black targets)
- Reliable detection of black targets against a black background, black targets against a shiny metal background, clear and reflective objects, multicolor packaging, and targets of all colors
- Jam detection model alerts operators to production line jams reducing or preventing downtime
- Dual teach mode measures both distance plus light intensity for the most challenging applications
- 270-degree rotatable M12 QD to meet a variety of mounting constraints
- Programmable via on-board user interface, remote teach, IO-Link, or optional remote sensor display
- Remote Sensor Display (RSD) enables remote programming and monitoring
Application Notes
Automotive Seat Inspection
The Q5X verifies the presence of dark components on a dark background--as well as vehicle seats and components of varying colors.
Alvos Escuros e de Baixo Contraste
Objetos escuros são difíceis de detectar, pois refletem muito pouca luz de volta para o sensor. Além disso, o preto em alvos pretos (baixo contraste entre alvo e fundo) são aplicações especialmente desafiadoras.
Verifying Metal Sheets on a Stamping Press
The Q5X sensor verifies the presence and position of reflective targets in a harsh environment.
Alvos Transparentes e Reflexivos
Detectar objetos transparentes e reflexivos é uma das aplicações de sensor mais desafiadoras. A luz pode atravessar um alvo ou refletir para longe de forma errática, dificultando uma detecção precisa.
Jam Detection on a Conveyor with Only AC Power
Sensors can be used to detect conveyor jams, but sometimes conveyors use current that is incompatible with sensors. Adding a Banner SPS30 AC/DC In-Line Power Converter to a DC sensor (such as a Banner Q5X) makes the necessary voltage conversion.
Multicolor Packaging
No setor de embalagens, os alvos geralmente contêm gráficos vibrantes e multicoloridos de refletividade variável. Estes diferentes alvos podem ser difíceis de detectar de forma confiável, especialmente quando há muitas transições de cores.
In-Line Accumulation on Single Filer
O sensor laser Q5X detecta com confiabilidade quando a área de espera está vazia e o sistema está pronto para o próximo lote de garrafas, apesar de sua transparência e do sinal instável.
Orientação Iluminada para Empilhadeiras
The WLS27 Pro with discrete control and configured by Banner’s Pro Editor software is one of two new models of the WLS27 Pro series strip light. It now includes programmable RGBW LEDs for use in illumination, indication and inspection applications. Learn how the configurable WS27 Pro provided forklift guidance for warehouse operators.
Preventing Jams in Airport Baggage Retrieval Systems
MSP International Airport installed Banner Q5X sensors with Jam Detection in its passenger-facing baggage carousel in Terminal 1. This laser technology with high excess gain helps to prevent stacked luggage in the retreival system by detecting the presence of luggage within a specific distance of the top of the carousel, which then automatically stops the infeed conveyor until the area is clear again.
Smarter Sorting: A Simple Fix to Address 40% of Conveyor Jams
The GS60 Pro Multicolor Guide Spotlight and Q5X Sensor were used to develop this innovative real-time chute status solution to reduce errors and streamline package sorting.
