The Q4X sensor from Banner Engineering is capable of consistently detecting targets – regardless of shape, material, color, transparency and reflectivity.
In fact, these rugged, easy-to-use laser distance sensors, have been referred to as the "Swiss Army Knife of sensors!"
Available Q4X sensor models:
- Discrete
- Analog (0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA)
- Clear object
- IO-Link
With best-in-class excess gain, superior light immunity, and dual mode sensing, Banner's Q4X laser sensor is a proven problem solver capable of solving the broadest range of applications. This versatile, rugged laser distance sensor is capable of detecting sub-millimeter changes in distance and now offers reliable sensing range from as close as 25 mm to as far as 610 mm.
The Q4X sensor delivers superior ambient light immunity and performance - with highly reflective and multi-color surfaces, or light-absorbing materials and low contrasts, such as black foams or rubber combined with black plastics or metals.
With dual teach mode, the Q4X uses a combination of intensity and distance, making it ideal for error-proofing applications and reliable detection of challenging targets, such as clear packaging and transparent object detection without a retroreflector.
Banner’s Q4X versatile, rugged laser distance sensor is available with IP69K rating, which is important for applications where high pressure, high temperature water and cleaning chemicals are used to spray down equipment and machines. IP69K refers to the sensors ability to resist ingress of high temperature and high pressure water. During the IP69K test the Q4X withstands 1500 PSI water being sprayed at the sensor for 30 seconds at 4 different angles.

Tight space requirements? The new flush mount housing models for the versatile Q4X Sensor provides more integration possibilities and greater installation flexibility, with the same superior performance, ambient light resistance and durability of standard Q4X models. In addition, they are capable of detecting sub-millimeter changes in distances ranging from 35 to 310 mm.
