Analogue output added to laser distance sensor

Providing continuous measurement and versatile sensing performance, the analog sensors provide resolution as small as 0.15 mm and cover up to a 300 mm range. The sensors deliver reliable measurement regardless of colour or reflectivity of target object or background.  

The Q4X analogue offers a simplified user experience with analogue (V or mA) or distance (mm) readout from the highly visible, angled four-digit display that is easily viewed from multiple vantage points. The sensor also offers intuitive user setup utilising three tactile buttons conveniently located below the display. 

For use in wet and high-pressure wash down environments, the Q4X is constructed with robust housing rated to IP69K. Durable FDA-grade stainless steel resists mechanical impact, over tightening and extreme vibration.

“While the original Q4X has become a problem solver for many of our customers’ challenging sensor applications, we discovered a need for an analogue model to satisfy additional applications such as fill level verification. Advanced measurement modes, including the averaging trigger, provide more consistent measurements across inconsistent surfaces, such as pills inside a bottle,” said Brad Ragozzino, Technical Marketing Engineer, Banner Engineering. “With a combination of analogue output and durable stainless steel housing with IP69K rating, the Q4X analogue provides a truly unique and reliable sensing solution.”
