Minneapolis-based Banner Engineering released its new Q3X laser contrast sensor, now available with fixed background suppression.
Featuring contrast detection and fixed background suppression, the Q3X LD50 reliably detects targets within the desired sensing range while ignoring objects in the background. A typical application is label detection on a bottle where contrast differences between the label and bottle provide reliable detection, but the sensor must ignore the shiny metal rail in the background. The shiny metal background could cause a false trigger for standard diffuse-mode sensors.
