Q45BB6LL: 37248 - Banner Laser Retro-reflective Sensor

Engineered for superior accuracy, the Banner Q45BB6LL is equipped with a high-visibility red laser beam that enables precise retro-reflective sensing over distances up to 70,000 mm. The sensor uses a non-polarized sensing mode, which allows it to function without dependency on reflector orientation—saving time and reducing alignment errors during installation. Built with a Class 2 laser, it provides a small, focused beam ideal for detecting shiny or narrow targets where traditional infrared sensors may struggle. This photoelectric sensor features a rugged IP67-rated thermoplastic housing that withstands water, dust, and rough handling in industrial settings. It also meets the stringent standards of NEMA 4X, ensuring protection against corrosion and environmental extremes. The Q45BB6LL operates efficiently between -10°C and 40°C and can tolerate up to 90% relative humidity at 50°C. The power supply range of 10–30 V DC is compatible with standard automation systems, while the M12 connector with 5 pins simplifies plug-and-play integration. With a 2 ms response time, 500 µs repeatability, and LED indicators for status feedback, the sensor provides real-time, dependable results under dynamic operating conditions.

Applications of Q45BB6LL: 37248 - Banner Laser Retro-reflective Sensor

The Q45BB6LL is ideal for applications that demand long-range, high-precision detection. In logistics and warehouse automation, it reliably detects large objects such as boxes or pallets from distances up to 70 meters. In packaging lines, the sensor can detect the presence of glossy or transparent surfaces without false triggering, making it suitable for bottles, shrink-wraps, or reflective materials. For automotive assembly, it can confirm part presence in environments with limited space and poor visibility thanks to its laser’s pinpoint accuracy. For maintenance engineers, the visible laser spot helps in quick setup and alignment, minimizing installation time. The sensor’s rugged build and resistance to harsh environments ensure minimal maintenance and fewer breakdowns, even in dusty or humid areas. Engineering students and system integrators can benefit from its combination of performance, safety (Class 2), and ease of configuration through the potentiometer. With its broad compatibility and field-proven reliability, the Banner Q45BB6LL is a trusted choice across automation-intensive industries.
