Banner Laser Distant Measurement Sensors Laser measurement sensors from Banner Engineering solve a wide variety of Discrete, Analog, and IO-Link sensing applications. Our portfolio of laser sensors includes powerful problem solving, high precision, and long-range sensors. Laser sensors have traditionally been used for their extended range, visible beam, small spot, and precise detection capabilities. These benefits have often been outweighed by their higher costs compared with other technologies. In recent years, pricing on components has been reduced and the technology has advanced so that...

Time-of-Flight (Long Range) Triangulation (Short Range/Precise) Triangulation sensors determine range by the Time of flight sensors derive range from the time it takes light to position of the received light on the receiver array. travel from the sensor to the target and return.

Key Specifications for Analog Applications Resolution tells you the smallest change in distance a sensor can detect. A resolution of <0.5 mm means that the sensor can detect changes in distance of 0.5 mm. This spec is the same as best case static repeatability, but it is expressed as an absolute number instead of +/-. The challenge with resolution specs is that they represent a sensor’s resolution in “best case” conditions, so they don’t provide a complete picture of sensor performance in the real world and sometimes overstate sensor performance. In typical applications, resolution is...

Material Thickness Many times, product quality is verified at the end of the line. Material that is too thin or too thick must be scrapped. When running long rolls of product, it is preferable to continuously monitor the cardboard sheeting thickness, preventing large quantities of product from being out of specification and reducing scrapped material. Challenge Cardboard material is run in wide sheets and the thickness can vary from side to side and as well as along the entire length. The temperature in the plant can fluctuate several degrees throughout the day, introducing measurement...

Error Proofing Challenge In a car speaker assembly, the presence and placement of all components must be verified to ensure that defective or incomplete product is not shipped to the customer. The small sizes, slim profiles and similar colors of many components can make identifying errors difficult. Solution By measuring the distance from the face of the sensor to the mounting bracket, a Q4X verifies that a single spacer is present and properly seated. Using dual mode detection, the Q4X can also measure the amount of light received to determine if the spacer has been placed with the...
