The Banner LT3PIQ is a precision-engineered laser proximity sensor designed to provide accurate and reliable object detection in industrial automation. With its visible red laser beam, durable housing, and flexible DC power operation, this model is a dependable solution for applications where accuracy, resilience, and ease of use are critical.

At the core of the LT3PIQ is its visible red laser sensing beam, which provides a fine, sharp light spot ideal for accurate alignment and precise detection. This visibility simplifies installation and calibration by allowing operators to see exactly where the sensor is aimed, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent performance. The concentrated laser beam also enables the detection of small parts or edges that would be difficult to sense with standard photoelectric sensors.

The proximity sensing mode makes the LT3PIQ especially versatile. Unlike retroreflective sensors, which require a reflector, the proximity mode detects objects directly, reducing installation complexity while providing stable detection. This is particularly advantageous for applications such as part presence verification, positioning checks, edge detection, and monitoring of shiny or irregularly shaped materials. Its ability to detect a wide range of surfaces with precision makes it highly adaptable for diverse automation tasks.

Built to withstand tough conditions, the LT3PIQ features a rugged housing rated to IP67 and NEMA 4X. This ensures protection against dust ingress, water immersion, and high-pressure washdowns. As a result, it performs reliably in industries such as food and beverage processing, packaging, automotive assembly, and material handling, where environmental challenges are common. Its durable design ensures long service life and reduces downtime caused by equipment failures.

The LT3PIQ operates on a 12–24 V DC power supply, providing compatibility with standard industrial control systems. This wide voltage range ensures flexibility in integration and makes the sensor suitable for a broad variety of automation platforms. The stable DC operation further supports continuous, energy-efficient performance, making it a cost-effective choice for facilities seeking dependable detection technology.

Thanks to its compact design and reliable sensing capability, the LT3PIQ is suitable for numerous applications. In packaging, it can detect the presence of items with precision. In assembly, it confirms part positioning for quality assurance. In logistics, it supports conveyor monitoring with fast and accurate detection. Its versatility allows companies to standardise on one sensor type for multiple tasks, simplifying inventory and maintenance.

In summary, the Banner LT3PIQ combines visible laser accuracy, proximity detection versatility, rugged housing, and wide DC voltage compatibility in one compact and reliable package. Built for precision and durability, it is the ideal choice for industrial environments requiring dependable object detection and long-term performance. Whether used in manufacturing, packaging, or material handling, the LT3PIQ enhances productivity, safety, and operational efficiency.
