The Banner LX3RQ is a high-performance receiver unit designed for use with Banner LX series emitters in light screen systems. Built to detect and interpret light beams generated by its paired emitter, the LX3RQ enables precise detection of objects and reliable safeguarding of machine access points. With its rugged aluminum housing, environmental protection, and compact cabling, this receiver is a dependable solution for both quality control and safety applications in industrial automation.

At the core of the LX3RQ’s design is its role as a receiver in an array housing. Working in tandem with an emitter, it monitors the light beams across the array and registers any interruptions caused by objects passing through. This allows it to detect items of varying size and shape with a high degree of accuracy. The array-style configuration ensures wide coverage and precision, making the system suitable for applications such as product counting, small-part detection, and machine guarding.

The aluminum housing offers robust protection while maintaining a lightweight structure for easy handling and installation. Its durable build ensures long-term reliability and protection of sensitive internal components, even in demanding industrial settings. The array-style housing is engineered for straightforward alignment with its emitter counterpart, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent performance.

Rated to IP65 and NEMA 4X, the LX3RQ provides solid environmental protection against dust, water spray, and washdowns. This makes it suitable for use in tough factory conditions, including food and beverage operations, material handling facilities, and manufacturing plants where contaminants and cleaning procedures are frequent. Its ruggedness minimises downtime and helps extend the service life of the system.

The receiver comes equipped with a 0.15 m pre-wired cable, offering a compact, reliable connection. The short cable length helps reduce wiring clutter, making it ideal for installations where space is limited. The secure connection supports dependable signal transmission and simplifies integration into control systems, while also allowing easy maintenance when required.

The Banner LX3RQ is versatile and effective across industries. In packaging lines, it can be used to ensure product presence and count verification. In assembly operations, it helps monitor small parts for quality assurance. In machine safeguarding, it forms part of a light screen that creates an invisible protective barrier, preventing operator access to dangerous areas. This versatility makes it a valuable asset for companies seeking both safety and process efficiency.

In summary, the Banner LX3RQ offers a balanced mix of precise receiving capability, rugged aluminum construction, IP65/NEMA 4X protection, and compact cabling. Designed to work seamlessly with LX series emitters, it provides reliable detection and safeguarding for a wide range of industrial automation needs. Whether for product verification, counting, or safety guarding, the LX3RQ delivers long-term accuracy and performance in demanding environments.
