Application Notes
Detecting Tipped-Over Bottles on a High-Speed Bottling Line
Detecting tipped translucent bottles varying in size, shape, color, and faceting.
Detection of Clear Liquids in Transparent Packaging
Pharmaceutical packaging fill level inspections.
Fill Level Verification of Water Bottles
Banner’s QS30H2O sensor is a specialized sensor developed to address challenges with optically sensing the presence of water and water-based liquids. The QS30H2O operates in a through beam sensing mode and the emitter has a unique LED with a 1450 wavelength. The 1450 wavelength is easily attenuated by water.
Inspection Trigger in Printing
The WORLD-BEAM QS30 adjustable sensor acts as a trigger for the vision sensor. When the QS30 detects the presence of a new page, it signals the vision sensor, which inspects the page's collation signature.
Juice Carton Detection
As cartons of juice pass on a conveyor, the WORLD-BEAM QS30 sensor in fixed-field mode detects the presence or absence of a carton, regardless of color and pattern.
Liquid in Container Detection
Banner combined the technology of WORLD-BEAM QS30 opposed mode sensors, which provide high excess gain, with a 1450 nm infrared sensing beam—specially tuned to an absorption band of water, to create the QS30H2O Water Sensor. In this application, the powerful sensing beam of the QS30H2O will burn through the opaque plastic of the container. At 1450 nm, water absorbs 1,000 times the energy of alternative wavelengths, preventing the beam from burning through the liquid within the container.
Precise Vehicle Positioning in Extreme Car Wash
Sense vehicles as they travel through a car wash
Thread Hole Detection
The WORLD-BEAM QS30's narrow laser beam can prevent these mistakes from happening it is necessary to verify, from a distance, that bolt threads have been cut into holes in a manifold.

Choosing A Banner Photoelectric Sensor
This video guides you through the key features of our sensors and helps determine which sensor within our photoelectric portfolio is best for a specific application.
QS30EDV Single-Point Window Teach
In this video, Banner will demonstrate how to set up a QS30EDV low-contrast sensor, which is designed to detect targets up to 1.4 m and to operate down to 300 microseconds.
QS30EDV Two-Point Static Teach
In this video, Banner will show how to perform a two-point teach on the QS30EDV low-contrast sensor. This sensor has a red visible beam, a 1.4 m range and can operate down to 300 microseconds.
QS30ELVC Clear Object Detection
In this video, Banner will demonstrate how to set up the QS30ELVC clear object detection sensor, which is designed to detect clear, translucent and dark targets out to 2 m.
QS30LDL Dynamic TEACH
In this video, Banner will show how to set Dynamic TEACH for the QS30 laser diffuse sensor. This mode is typically used when the machine or process cannot be stopped, and is commonly used in web applications.
QS30LDL Single-Point TEACH
In this video, Banner demonstrates how to set up a QS30 laser diffuse using single-point static TEACH, which is also known as Window TEACH, where you set a condition around an object.
QS30LDL Two-Point Static TEACH
In this video, Banner will show how to set up the QS30 laser diffuse sensor in a two-point static TEACH. It is the most commonly used TEACH method, and is used to detect a consistent target object.
QS30LLP Retroreflective
In this video, Banner will demonstrate how to set up the QS30 long-range laser retroreflective sensor. The QS30LLP retroreflective sensor detects small and large targets up to 18 m.
QS30LLPC Retroreflective
In this video, Banner demonstrates how to set up the QS30 long-range, low-contrast laser retroreflective sensor. This sensor is designed to detect small targets and low-contrast targets up to 18 m.
