(Banner Engineering: Minneapolis, MN) -- Banner Engineering has expanded the capabilities of its Q4X series of laser distance sensors, allowing them to be used in several new applications. The series now includes an analog model to measure distance and a discrete model with expanded capability to detect clear objects and contrast changes.

With sub-millimeter distance change capability, the new Q4X Analog model measures height and fill levels, complementing the presence or absence capability of the discrete model. This allows the sensor to support multiple applications including easy analog interfacing to the PLC with reduced programming. Master-slave synchronization avoids crosstalk in situations requiring more than one sensor, including using opposing sensors for thickness measurement.

Additional applications for the Q4X Analog include error proofing, part positioning, roll diameter, loop control, and dimensional verification.
