Q4X Series
Rugged All Purpose Photoelectric Sensor
Versatile, rugged laser distance sensors offering superior performance and capable of detecting sub-millimeter changes in distance.
- 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
- Dual teach mode (intensity + distance) is ideal for error-proofing applications and enables clear object detection with no retro-reflector required
- 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
- Clear distance readout from angled four-digit display

Q4X On- and Off- Delay Timers Demonstation [Video]
Built-in delay timers on the new Q4X and Q3X make it easy to regulate product flow on production lines and increase efficiency.
Q4X High-Pressure Washdown [Video]
Banner Engineering's Q4X versatile, rugged laser distance sensor has an IP69K rating for use in wet and high-pressure washdown environments. The IP69K rating is important for applications where high-pressure, high-temperature water and cleaning chemicals are used to spray down equipment and machines.
Q4X Cap Orientation - Two-Point Teach Tutorial [Video]
This video will demonstrate how simple it is to use the two-point teach mode on Banner's Q4X sensor. Using two-point teach mode, the Q4X can reliably detect the presence of white bottle caps whether upside down or right side up as they move down a white conveyor belt.
Q4X Analog Fill Level Measurement [Video]
The Q4X can successfully solve a wide variety of applications, including fill level measurement for liquids and solids.
Q4X Versatile, Rugged Laser Distance Sensor [Video]
With best in class excess gain, bipolar PNP and NPN outputs, a reliable 25 to 300 mm detection range and superior ambient light immunity, the Q4X can solve even the most challenging distance-based, part-detection applications.
Q4X Black Foam on Black Plastic - Two-Point Teach Tutorial [Video]
This video will demonstrate how Banner's Q4X can solve even the most challenging applications. Using two-point static background suppression teach mode, the Q4X can reliably detect the presence of black foam in front of black plastic on a door panel.
Q4X Dual Mode: Dual Distance + Intensity Window Demonstration [Video]
In addition to best in class excess gain, bipolar PNP and NPN outputs and superior ambient light immunity Banner's Q4X now comes standard with Dual mode, an innovative new teach mode that allows the Q4X to measure intensity and distance to solve new applications.
