    Banner’s QS30H2O sensor is a specialized sensor developed to address challenges with optically sensing the presence of water and water-based liquids. The QS30H2O operates in a through beam sensing mode and the emitter has a unique LED with a 1450 wavelength. The 1450 wavelength is easily attenuated by water.

    Inspection Trigger in Printing
    Inspection Trigger in Printing

    The WORLD-BEAM QS30 adjustable sensor acts as a trigger for the vision sensor. When the QS30 detects the presence of a new page, it signals the vision sensor, which inspects the page's collation signature.

    Juice Carton Detection
    Juice Carton Detection

    As cartons of juice pass on a conveyor, the WORLD-BEAM QS30 sensor in fixed-field mode detects the presence or absence of a carton, regardless of color and pattern.

    Liquid in Container Detection
    Liquid in Container Detection

    Banner combined the technology of WORLD-BEAM QS30 opposed mode sensors, which provide high excess gain, with a 1450 nm infrared sensing beam—specially tuned to an absorption band of water, to create the QS30H2O Water Sensor. In this application, the powerful sensing beam of the QS30H2O will burn through the opaque plastic of the container. At 1450 nm, water absorbs 1,000 times the energy of alternative wavelengths, preventing the beam from burning through the liquid within the container.
