The World-Beam family of photoelectric sensors, manufactured by Banner, sets new standards in photoelectric sensor design and performance. With the World-Beam, most existing sensors can be replaced and the latest sensing technology can be incorporated into a variety of applications. The innovative housing design and sensing modes allow greater versatility and performance.
The range includes a choice of infrared or easy-to-align visible beams, powerful ranges, laser models, or plastic fibre and ultrasonic or glass models. Specialised models include both fixed and adjustable field background suppression, as well as models with universal AC/DC voltage inputs. Special features include simple single button TEACH programming and patented diagnostics that keeps the operator better informed about the sensor's operation state. Bright green and amber status LEDs on the top of all World-Beam sensors are visible from the top and all sides, allowing the status of sensor to be known from any angle of view.
World-Beam QS12 ultra miniature universal sensors measure only 12 x 23 x 8 mm. The overmoulded design encapsulates the entire sensor to achieve an IP67 environmental protection rating and allows it to withstand the abuses of today's harsh industrial environments. The uniquely engineered glass optics in a tiny housing, a feature of the polarised retroreflective model, sets the QS12 apart from other polarised sensors on the market today. A design using polarised optics allows the sensor to reliably detect shiny objects, even at long range.
World-Beam QS18 sensors are affordable, high-performance sensors. Available in all sensing modes to make it possible to standardise on a single housing style and fulfil a variety of application requirements using advanced sensing technologies and features. The QS18 Expert models easily solve difficult applications with an advanced microprocessor that differentiates between two received light levels to allow for precise sensitivity adjustment. Using a single pushbutton in the TEACH mode, the World-Beam Expert can 'learn' the light and dark conditions required and choose the most accurate setting. It offers increased reliability for sensing transparent materials and is ideal for tough sensing applications such as clear bottles or wafer cassettes on a moving conveyor.
QS18 Laser sensors feature tightly collimated sensing beams and extended sensing ranges. They can reliably detect extremely small objects or perform precise positioning applications. Various laser models are available including adjustable field for ignoring background objects immediately behind the set cut-off point.
World-Beam QS30 sensors offer power and performance in a midsize sensor. In the opposed mode, the QS30 can achieve ranges up to 210 m or burn through the heaviest moisture, fog, dust and industrial-process contamination. The opposed mode QS30 provides maximum excess gain for accurate, reliable sensing and a housing sealed up to a rating of IP69K - a new standard for industrial washdown applications. The design of the QS30 series ensures a compact, self contained sensor, unlike other high-power sensors that require massive housings and synchronisation wires. The QS30 is a product that outperforms larger sensors and features a wide range of convenient mounting options. Innovative new circuitry results in superior range and immunity to crosstalk, electrical noise and sunlight.
All Banner World-Beam sensors are available pre-cabled (2 m) or in the QD option which features either 8 mm or 12 mm connectors.
