Q26PXLPQ5: 17131 - Banner Clear Object Sensor

The Banner Q26PXLPQ5 is engineered with a Polarized Coaxial sensing mode, making it exceptionally effective in detecting transparent objects like PET bottles, glass vials, and film packaging. It operates with a visible red LED at a wavelength of 660 nm, enabling highly focused and accurate sensing even in challenging light conditions. This photoelectric sensor supports a maximum sensing range of 800 mm, offering a balanced combination of reach and sensitivity for fast-moving conveyor lines. Housed in a compact rectangular thermoplastic body, the Q26PXLPQ5 is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, ensuring strong protection against dust, water, and cleaning agents. Its power range of 10–30 V DC makes it compatible with most industrial control systems, and it provides a PNP discrete output through a 4-pin M12 connector. The output response time of just 0.25 ms and repeatability of 50 µs help achieve real-time, high-speed detection in automated lines. It features a durable glass lens and built-in LED indicators for easy setup and maintenance. With a simple potentiometer adjustment mechanism, engineers can fine-tune the sensor for optimal performance in any lighting condition. This sensor is trusted by OEMs and plant engineers for its consistency, ease of use, and minimal false detection rates. For detailed specifications, refer to the official Banner Q26PXLPQ5 datasheet.

Applications of Q26PXLPQ5: 17131 BANNER

The Banner Q26PXLPQ5 is purpose-built for clear object detection in high-speed, precision-demanding environments. It is widely used in bottle filling lines to detect transparent containers before and after filling, ensuring accurate capping and labeling. In the pharmaceutical industry, it helps verify the presence of clear blister packs, syringes, and glass vials during assembly and packaging stages. Its coaxial beam design reduces reflections and false triggers, which are common when dealing with reflective or shiny surfaces. In food packaging plants, the sensor excels at detecting transparent films, trays, and PET covers, especially where hygiene and moisture resistance are critical. Maintenance teams appreciate its quick setup via M12 connector and clear LED feedback for diagnostics. Engineering students and junior technicians will find this model easy to understand and integrate due to its straightforward wiring and robust design. Wherever traditional sensors struggle with clear materials, the Q26PXLPQ5 stands out as a reliable and efficient solution.
