Minneapolis-based Banner Engineering announced the Q4Xhttps://admin-refrigeratedfrozenfood.epublishing.com/admin/article/general/xml# laser distance sensor, designed to reliably detect distance changes as small as 1 mm and covers a 25- to 300-mm range across multiple target colors, materials and surfaces.
The Q4X is optimal for difficult distance-based sensing applications, as it easily detects objects regardless of target surface reflectivity, including black foam on black plastic, black rubber in front of metal, multi-color packaging and targets of all colors. Additionally, the sensor provides superior resistance to ambient light interference.
