Banner Engineering World-Beam QS30AFF400/QS30AF600 mid-range sensors

Friday, 18 February, 2011 | Supplied by: Micromax Pty Ltd


Banner Engineering has added two mid-range adjustable-field sensors to the World-Beam QS30 range. The QS30AFF400 foreground suppression sensor and the QS30AF600 background suppression sensor use advanced linear imager technology to provide a good sensing solution for a range of industrial applications, including part-in-place detection, feeder-bowl control and package detection on conveyors.

The QS30AFF400 sensor offers foreground suppression to deliver reliable detection of target objects varying in colour or shape when a fixed background is present. Conversely, the QS30AF600 sensor provides reliable detection of objects when the background condition is neither controlled nor fixed, and it ignores objects located beyond the sensing field cut-off. The sensing range for all models can be adjusted with a screwdriver potentiometer or via the remote teach wire input. Additionally, the sensors’ visible red LED sensing beam ensures easy sensor alignment.

Features include: precise and repeatable switch point performance; enhanced immunity to fluorescent lights and crosstalk of nearby sensors; large, bright output and sensor status indicators; four-turn potentiometer or remote teach input to set the switch point distance; full assortment of convenient brackets and cordsets for simple installation; models are available with cable or integral metal quick disconnect or M12 pigtail connectors; and bipolar discrete outputs, PNP and NPN, with optional LO/DO selection in every model.

The QS40AFF400 model offers an adjustable cut-off range of 50-400 mm, with a maximum sensing range of 400 mm for all sensor colours. The QS30AF600 model delivers an adjustable cut-off range of 50-600 mm, with a maximum sensing range of 400 mm for the 6% black card sensor and 600 mm for the 90% white card sensor. The 6% black card sensor also offers a minimum sensing range - also known as the dead zone - of 30 mm.
