Wireless photoelectric sensor solution is 'industry's first'

Banner Engineering has unveiled what it claims is the world's first completely self contained, wireless photoelectric sensor solution for control and monitoring applications.

The SureCross Q45 is designed to improve efficiency by coordinating multiple machines and processes, while being less costly than traditional solutions with complex infrastructure requirements. "The flexibility of the SureCross Q45 sets it apart from anything else our customers have used," commented Bob Gardner, senior product manager at Banner. "With performance capabilities ranging from the detection of objects in simple presence/absence or alignment applications to call for parts and error proofing in productivity solutions, the SureCross Q45 can accurately connect and solve applications that were difficult, costly or nearly impossible with conventional technologies." Other features include an extended battery life of up to five years on two replaceable AA lithium batteries and IP67/NEMA 6P standard protection against liquids and debris common to industrial environments.
