Product Description
The Banner Engineering Q5X Series is a high-power, multi-function laser measurement sensor featuring background and foreground suppression technology in a cost-effective, industry-standard rectangular housing. Using a visible red Class 2 laser (650 nm) and laser triangulation principles, the Q5X delivers reliable detection of the most challenging targets including dark, clear, reflective, and multicolor objects. The series is programmable via onboard push buttons, remote teach, IO-Link, or an optional Remote Sensor Display (RSD), and is available in multiple sensing range and output configurations.
