The Banner LTF12UC2LDQ is a high-precision laser sensor designed for demanding industrial proximity detection applications. Leveraging Banner’s advanced time-of-flight (ToF) technology, this model delivers long-range, stable, and repeatable detection, even in challenging conditions or with targets that would be difficult for conventional photoelectric sensors.

At its core, the LTF12UC2LDQ features a visible red laser beam, which produces a sharp and well-defined spot that simplifies installation and alignment. Operators can visually confirm the sensing path during setup, reducing commissioning time and ensuring accurate targeting. During operation, the visible laser continues to serve as a quick reference for verifying performance, making it easier to troubleshoot or adjust in the field.

The sensor operates in proximity mode, meaning it detects objects within a defined sensing range without the need for a reflector or receiver. Using time-of-flight technology, the LTF12UC2LDQ measures the time it takes for emitted light pulses to reflect off a target and return to the sensor. This enables it to detect objects with exceptional consistency, regardless of colour, reflectivity, or surface texture. Dark, shiny, or irregularly shaped items can all be reliably detected, making the sensor suitable for diverse material handling and production environments.

Engineered for ruggedness and durability, the LTF12UC2LDQ carries IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings. This ensures complete protection against dust ingress, strong resistance to water exposure, and corrosion resistance against cleaning agents or harsh environmental factors. These protective features make the sensor a reliable choice for industries such as food and beverage, packaging, automotive, logistics, and material handling, where washdowns, moisture, and airborne contaminants are common.

The device operates on a 12–30 V DC power supply, ensuring wide compatibility with standard industrial automation systems. Its broad voltage tolerance provides stable performance and makes it easy to integrate into new and existing installations without requiring special modifications.

With its compact form factor, the LTF12UC2LDQ is designed to fit into tight spaces while still delivering long-range precision and durability. Its robust housing withstands vibration and continuous use, ensuring a long service life and reduced maintenance needs.

Common applications include detecting packages on conveyors, monitoring fill levels in containers, verifying part presence in automated assembly, measuring material flow, and ensuring proper positioning in robotics or machine operations. The ability to detect objects accurately regardless of surface condition ensures that processes run smoothly, reducing errors and downtime.

In summary, the Banner LTF12UC2LDQ Laser Sensor combines visible red laser precision, advanced ToF proximity sensing, rugged IP67/NEMA 4X protection, and wide 12–30 V DC compatibility into a reliable and versatile sensing solution. Designed for accuracy and durability, it is an excellent choice for engineers and system designers seeking dependable object detection in demanding industrial automation environments.
