Laser Contrast Sensor

Q3X Series

The versatile, rugged laser contrast sensor provides reliable, high-speed detection and fixed background suppression models allow for contrast detection in a fixed range while ignoring a background.

  • High-speed part detection as fast as 250 us, capturing up to 2,000 events per second
  • Reliable sensing range up to 300 mm
  • Used for challenging presence/absence or orientation detection for applications with small contrast differences
  • Rugged, nickel-plated zinc housing suitable even for environments with cutting fluids and oils
  • Clear intensity readout from angled three-digit display
  • Easy setup with responsive buttons
  • Fixed background suppression models allow for contrast detection in a fixed range while ignoring a background
