The Q5X background-suppression laser is a powerful, problem-solving sensor in a cost-effective industry-standard rectangular housing. The best-in-class laser sensor is available with ranges from 50 mm to 10 m, is easy to use, and provides reliable detection of the most challenging targets.
MSP International Airport installed Banner Q5X sensors with Jam Detection in its passenger-facing baggage carousel in Terminal 1. This laser technology with high excess gain helps to prevent stacked luggage in the retreival system by detecting the presence of luggage within a specific distance of the top of the carousel, which then automatically stops the infeed conveyor until the area is clear again.
The WLS27 Pro with discrete control and configured by Banner’s Pro Editor software is one of two new models of the WLS27 Pro series strip light. It now includes programmable RGBW LEDs for use in illumination, indication and inspection applications. Learn how the configurable WS27 Pro provided forklift guidance for warehouse operators.
Sensors can be used to detect conveyor jams, but sometimes conveyors use current that is incompatible with sensors. Adding a Banner SPS30 AC/DC In-Line Power Converter to a DC sensor (such as a Banner Q5X) makes the necessary voltage conversion.
The Q5X verifies the presence of dark components on a dark background--as well as vehicle seats and components of varying colors.
The Q5X laser sensor reliably detects when the staging area is clear of bottles and the system is ready for the next layer of containers, despite the transparency of the bottles and unstable signal.
Dark objects are difficult to detect since they reflect very little light back to the sensor. In addition, black on black targets (low contrast between target and background) are especially challenging.
The Q5X sensor verifies the presence and position of reflective targets in a harsh environment.
Detecting clear and reflective objects are some of the most challenging sensor applications. Light can burn through a target or be reflected away erratically, making accurate detection difficult.
