Overview
The Banner Q25AW3LPQ1 is a photoelectric sensor in diffuse sensing mode, commonly deployed in industrial automation for presence detection and object positioning. Banner Q25AW3LPQ1 sensors use infrared or visible LED light to detect the presence of materials and trigger downstream automation logic. Diffuse-mode sensors emit and detect light reflection from the target surface, eliminating the need for separate reflectors in many applications.
Key Features
- Diffuse sensing mode for unobstructed object detection
- Compact industrial-rated housing for tough environments
- Solid-state PNP or NPN output switching
- Wide supply voltage range compatible with 24 VDC automation systems
- IP67 rating for dust and moisture resistance
- Fast response time suitable for conveyor and line applications
