Information About R55ECW1Q
The R55ECW1Q is part of Banner Engineering’s R55 Expert Color Mark Series, developed for high-accuracy color and contrast sensing at close range. This sensor features a convergent optical design with a fixed 10 mm parallel focal point, ensuring consistent detection performance on fast-moving materials. It operates on a 10–30 VDC supply and supports both bipolar NPN/PNP discrete outputs and a 0–10 mA analog output for flexible system integration. Housed in a rugged zinc alloy die-cast body with IP67 protection, it is well suited for harsh industrial environments.
Key Features:
- Convergent Color Mark Sensing: Optimized for accurate detection at a fixed 10 mm sensing distance.
- White LED Light Source: Enhances contrast differentiation across a wide range of colors and materials.
- Bipolar NPN/PNP Outputs: Supports flexible discrete output wiring configurations.
- Analog Output Capability: Provides a 0–10 mA signal for advanced monitoring and diagnostics.
- Integrated Bargraph Indicator: Allows visual confirmation of signal strength and alignment.
- Rugged Industrial Housing: Zinc alloy die-cast construction with IP67 protection for harsh environments.
- M12 Integral Connector: Ensures secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections.
