The Banner LE550I is a high-performance laser distance sensor designed to provide reliable, precise measurement in industrial automation applications. Featuring a visible red laser, rugged housing, and long-range capability, it delivers accuracy and consistency in environments where dependable measurement is essential for productivity and process control.

At its core, the LE550I uses a visible red laser beam, which allows for simple alignment and highly accurate distance measurement. The visible spot makes setup intuitive, as operators can easily confirm the target point during installation. Once aligned, the sensor provides repeatable results with excellent resolution, ensuring reliable detection even in applications that demand high precision. This makes it particularly well-suited for tasks such as position verification, level monitoring, and dimensional measurement.

The LE550I is designed for long-range distance measurement, capable of detecting targets over extended ranges with high accuracy. Its laser-based technology ensures stable performance regardless of target colour or material, including shiny, dark, or irregularly shaped surfaces that can pose challenges for conventional photoelectric sensors. This versatility allows the sensor to adapt to a wide variety of materials and production conditions without sacrificing reliability.

Engineered for tough environments, the sensor carries IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings, offering protection against dust ingress, water spray, and washdowns. The rugged housing ensures that the LE550I can operate reliably in harsh industrial conditions such as packaging plants, automotive facilities, and manufacturing lines exposed to vibration, moisture, or cleaning processes. Its robust design helps extend service life and reduce maintenance costs.

Operating on a 12–30 V DC supply, the LE550I integrates easily into standard industrial control systems. The included 2 m cable provides flexible installation options, allowing seamless connection to PLCs, controllers, or other automation equipment. Its straightforward wiring and compatibility with existing systems reduce commissioning time and make it suitable for both new installations and retrofits.

Practical applications for the LE550I include object positioning on conveyors, verifying product dimensions, monitoring fill levels in containers, material thickness measurement, and part alignment in assembly systems. With its precision and ruggedness, the sensor is widely applicable across industries such as packaging, material handling, automotive, and logistics.

In summary, the Banner LE550I Laser Distance Sensor combines visible red laser accuracy, rugged IP67/NEMA 4X housing, wide DC supply compatibility, and long-range measurement capabilities into one compact and reliable device. Built for precision and resilience, it provides engineers and system designers with a dependable solution for accurate distance measurement and control in even the most challenging automation environments.
