Q4X Series

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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.

Detecting Black Parts on Black Door Panel

Banner’s Q4X problem-solving triangulation-based laser sensor has no difficulty detecting dark targets on dark backgrounds when there is a height difference. The Q4X provides a reliable sensing solution with best in class excess gain and makes pass/fail judgments based on distance rather than color or reflectivity.

Hard Disk Detection

Because disk surfaces are shiny, many sensors have difficulty detecting whether a hard disk is properly seated in a hard drive. Banner Engineering’s Q3X and Q4X sensors are designed to detect shiny surfaces with a wide variety of colors, textures, and materials.

Detecting Clear Bottles to Trigger Shrink Sleeve Labeler

High-speed labeler processing 800 bottles per minute

Clear Tray Detection at Hopper Food Storage Units

Detecting Transparent Bottles in a Washdown Environment

Detect accumulations to regulate line pressure

Clear Plastic Food Container Detection in a Sanitary Environment

Sanitary environment, IP69K ratings required

Counting Multicolored Reflective Packages on a Conveyor

Counting reflective and wrinkled packaging on a conveyor

Cap Orientation Verification

Sanitary environment, subjected to aggressive chemical washdowns

Rubber Washer Detection on Engine Block

Banner’s Q4X versatile laser sensor is ideal for presence/absence detection even in challenging applications with small height changes such as confirming a small black target is present on a shiny metal part. The washers should be present in the cast aluminum engine block, and if the Q4X detects a slight height difference, even as small as 1 mm, it will send a signal to alert operators a rubber washer is missing or there are multiple washers present. The Q4X can detect duplicate rubber washers with its unique windowing capability while in foreground suppression mode.

Close Proximity Error Proofing on Assembly Line

Multiple sensors, confirm part presence and position

Error Proofing for Integrated Circuit Chips Loaded into Pocket Tape

Detect presence and orientation of each integrated circuit

Black Plastic Tray Detection at a Hopper and Filling Station

Learn how the Q4X detects dark colored trays at hopper and filling station in the food industry.

Carton Stack Height

The two-point teach option on the Q4X analog laser measurement sensor is used to teach the full and empty magazine. Manual adjustment can be used to fine tune the output. The analog output provides a real time gauge of the stack height. This allows the cartoner machine to have several “call for parts” set points without having to manually move the sensor. The Q4X is a robust, rugged stainless steel sensor ideal for use in many industrial, factory environments.

Bottle Fill Level Detection

Measure fill level, provide feedback on height of pills

Integrated Circuit Orientation

An iVu Plus sensor checks the orientation of each integrated circuit before is is transferred to a circuit board.
