Powertrain – Rubber Washer Detection on Engine Block

The Q4X laser sensor sends an error signal to operators when washers are missing

To prevent defective product from being shipped, it is vital to error proof parts by ensuring all rubber washers are present before the next step in the assembly operation. Banner's Q4X versatile laser sensor is ideal for presence/absence detection even in challenging applications with small height changes such as confirming a small black target is present on a shiny metal part.

The washers should be present in the cast aluminum engine block, and if the Q4X detects a slight height difference, even as small as 1 mm, it will send a signal to alert operators a rubber washer is missing or there are multiple washers present. The Q4X can detect duplicate rubber washers with its unique windowing capability while in foreground suppression mode.

Rubber Washer Detection on Engine Block

Banner’s Q4X versatile laser sensor is ideal for presence/absence detection even in challenging applications with small height changes such as confirming a small black target is present on a shiny metal part.

With a stainless steel housing, the Q4X is extremely durable and resists mechanical impact, vibrations and over tightening. The sensor setup is simple with clear user feedback on the four-digit angled display. The Q4X solves many challenging part-detection applications by sensing even the slightest distances changes.
