The Banner LX6RQ is a dependable receiver unit for use with Banner’s LX series emitter arrays, engineered to deliver precise detection and reliable operation in industrial automation. As the receiving half of an emitter–receiver light screen system, the LX6RQ captures light beams projected by the paired emitter and registers any interruptions, allowing for the accurate detection of objects of varying sizes and shapes.

Its array-style housing ensures broad coverage and detailed resolution, enabling detection across a wider sensing field. This makes the LX6RQ particularly valuable for applications such as small-part counting, packaging verification, and safeguarding machine access points. By detecting interruptions in the light array, the sensor ensures that products, tools, or even personnel cannot pass undetected, providing both quality assurance and an added layer of safety.

Built for resilience, the aluminum housing offers strength and protection for the sensitive receiver components while remaining lightweight for straightforward installation and alignment with its paired emitter. The durable build contributes to long-term reliability, even in environments exposed to vibration, dust, or frequent handling.

The LX6RQ is rated IP65 and NEMA 4X, providing robust environmental resistance. This means it is fully protected against dust ingress and water spray, as well as capable of withstanding washdowns in environments such as food processing or packaging plants. These ratings make the receiver suitable for harsh industrial conditions, ensuring dependable performance without frequent downtime or maintenance.

Installation is simplified with a 0.15 m pre-wired cable connection, offering a short, secure link that minimises wiring complexity. This compact cabling is particularly useful in tight control panel or machine mounting spaces, reducing clutter and supporting vibration-resistant, long-lasting connectivity. It also facilitates straightforward maintenance, allowing for quick replacement or adjustment when required.

Applications for the LX6RQ span a wide range of industries. In packaging operations, it helps verify product presence and counts items accurately. In manufacturing, it supports quality control by detecting small or missing components. In machine safeguarding, it forms part of a reliable light curtain that creates a non-contact protective barrier to keep operators safe. Its versatility and precision make it a strong choice for companies aiming to improve both safety and productivity.

In summary, the Banner LX6RQ combines accurate array-style detection, rugged aluminum construction, IP65/NEMA 4X protection, and compact cabling in one dependable receiver unit. Designed to pair with an LX series emitter, it provides the detection performance and environmental resilience needed for industrial automation. Whether for counting, product verification, or operator safeguarding, the LX6RQ delivers consistent, long-term accuracy and reliability.
