Leading edge detection of a wide variety of products, packages, and containers as they are moved along different types of conveyors can be done quickly and accurately with Banner sensors developed specifically for a range of applications.
FIND A PROBLEM-SOLVING SENSOR FOR YOUR
LEADING EDGE DETECTION APPLICATION
QS18 Series or Q20 Series Sensors
- Versatile, low-cost sensors
- Reliably detects a broad range of boxes, totes, and similar objects
- Often used on conveyors with side rails
LX Series Light Screens- Cross hatched beam pattern detects objects as thin as 1 mm
- Large sensing area enables consistent detection where the leading edge varies
- Fast 0.8 ms response time supports increased throughput
TTR Series Sensor Array- Reliably detects objects on the conveyor: sheets, polybags, totes, and more
- Mounts between conveyor roller gap
- Spring loaded end caps reduce installation and alignment time
SAB Series Sensor Array Bar- Robust aluminum housing protects array from impact and other hazards
- Heavy-duty design is ideal for detecting items moving down a chute
- Longer sensing range than TTR Series
New! Q76 Series Wide Beam Sensor
The Q76 is a wide-beam retroreflective sensor designed to detect a wide variety of challenging, non-uniform targets. It features two sensitivity levels and manual adjustment for tough objects like shrink-wrapped pallets or small objects and an IO-Link model for extended diagnostic.
Easy to setup and use, the Q76E has a visible red beam to simplify alignment and two bright, multifunction LED lights for status indication. With a range of up to 4 meters, the Q76E provides users with tremendous flexibility.
Visible red beam simplifies alignment- Bright LEDs for visual indication
- Up to 4 meters range enables tremendous flexibility in mounting
- Two sensitivity levels for detection of the most challenging targets
- Retroreflective sensor requires wiring on only one side of the conveyor
The Q76E reliably detects the leading edge of challenging and irregularly shaped targets, such as shrink wrapped pallets, polybags, and perforated packaging while offering exceptional levels of sensitivity to detect objects as small as 8 mm.
The Q76E has a unique design that enables consistent detection of a broad range of targets that typically challenge other sensors. Each sensor generates a wide sensing beam capable of reliably detecting pallets, boards, totes with gaps or holes, packages, pouches, and other irregularly shaped targets, as well as objects in clear or reflective packaging.
The Q76E features two sensitivity levels and manual adjustment for detection of challenging targets, such as shrink-wrapped pallets, small objects, and film or perforated packaging. Use the TEACH button to adjust sensor sensitivity and select light or dark operate. Increased sensitivity mode enables detection of objects as small as 8 mm in size. The Q76E also offers an IO-Link model for increased data availability, remote configuration and monitoring, and simple device replacement.
The Q76E features a visible red beam for simple alignment and bright LEDs for visual indication. The small gap in the sensing beam allows accurate alignment of the sensor. Additionally, it features a 250 Hz switching frequency for high-speed production lines.
Applications
- Detect objects on a conveyor
- Pallet/material handling detection
- Leading edge detection of irregularly shaped objects
