Photoelectric Sensor Solutions

Banner Engineering photoelectric sensors can be used with or without a reflector and can be self-contained, heavy-duty, or compact while providing long-range performance. They are able to detect the presence or absence of objects, as well as changes in surface conditions of a target, thereby meeting the demands of any application. It is recommended to start with the QS18, which has the largest selection of sensing modes, and then choose others as application needs become more specific.

QS18 series all-purpose photoelectric sensors are able to replace hundreds of other sensors with a universal housing design featuring an 18 mm threaded lens or side mounts. They are available with multiple selections of sensing modes and convenient mounting options, and some models are available with IO-Link. This series can easily fit into almost any mounting situation.

Q20 series compact, sealed sensors are available with advanced electronic design that is excellent for noise immunity and crosstalk avoidance. Multiple models are available, including opposed, polarized, and non-polarized retroreflective, fixed-field, adjustable-field, and diffused models. This series is useful for small feature detection in error-proofing and inspection applications.

QS30 series high-performance sensors are advanced photoelectric sensors with exceptional long range. Their compact housing with 30 mm threaded barrel or side-mount holes makes them suitable for almost any mounting requirement. Multiple models are available, including opposed, high-powered opposed, polarized and non-polarized retroreflective, diffuse, laser, fixed-field, adjustable-field, and clear object sensing modes.

T18-2 series sensors have added strength and reliability for use in washdown and thermal shock environments on production lines. They are a one-piece sensor with long-range optical performance. Due to ultrasonically welded joints that create a single piece of the same material, these rugged sensors are ideal for harsh environments such as those with rapidly changing temperatures or washdown environments.

Q3X series laser contrast sensors are versatile, rugged sensors that offer reliable, high-speed detection and fixed background suppression models that allow for contrast detection in a fixed range while ignoring a background. They are suitable for use in challenging presence/absence or orientation detection for applications with small contrast differences.

Q2X series miniature sensors are designed to fit into confined industrial spaces and equipment. Despite their compact size, these sensors deliver reliable performance and precision detection of the most challenging targets. They are available in a full array of sensing modes to meet the needs of any automation application.
