Q45BB6DX: 42476 - Banner High-power Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Q45BB6DX stands out with its impressive 3000 mm maximum sensing distance, making it one of the most powerful diffuse mode sensors in its class. It emits an infrared LED beam that detects objects based on the amount of light reflected back, eliminating the need for reflectors and simplifying setup. With a 10–30 V DC power supply and bipolar outputs (NPN & PNP), it integrates easily into a wide range of PLC systems and industrial controllers. The sensor uses a 2-meter cable connection for quick wiring during field installation. Built for industrial robustness, the Q45BB6DX is housed in a rectangular thermoplastic body and includes an acrylic lens for durability. It carries both an IP67 rating and a NEMA 4X classification, allowing it to function reliably in wet, dusty, or corrosive environments. With an operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C and up to 90% relative humidity, it ensures consistent performance in extreme conditions. Key features like a 2 ms output response time, LED indicators for visual feedback, and adjustable potentiometer settings make it a highly responsive and user-friendly sensor for on-site technicians.

Applications of Q45BB6DX: 42476 - Banner High-power Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor

The Q45BB6DX is an excellent choice for long-distance object detection on large conveyor lines, pallet detection systems, and automated storage units where reflectors are impractical. In heavy industries such as automotive, metals, and logistics, it helps detect large or irregular-shaped items where standard sensors fall short. Its ability to detect objects up to 3 meters away makes it ideal for use in open frame machines or production cells where precise alignment is not feasible. For maintenance engineers, this model reduces installation and servicing complexity since it doesn’t rely on external reflectors or fiber optics. The clear LED indicators assist junior technicians during commissioning or fault diagnosis. Senior engineers appreciate its stable performance under tough conditions, thanks to its rugged build and environmental ratings. Whether it’s for material positioning, jam detection, or zone monitoring, the Banner Q45BB6DX delivers strong, consistent performance that supports higher machine uptime and process accuracy.
