Banner Engineering PD45VP6C300Q PicoDot Convergent Laser Sensor

Banner Engineering's PicoDot PD45VP6C300Q is a laser convergent sensor in the PicoDot PD45 family, designed for high-precision spot sensing at a fixed focal point. Convergent-mode models produce a tightly focused beam—about 0.25 mm wide at the convergence point—allowing accurate position detection, counting, and inspection of small parts. The PD45VP6C300Q specifies a focal point of 305 mm and operates from 10 to 30 V DC, with a complementary PNP output for straightforward interfacing with common PLCs. This variant ships with a 2 m cable and uses Banner's compact PD45 housing, ideal for tight panels, automation stations, and robotic applications. The convergent design employs fixed-field technology that ignores objects beyond the maximum sensing distance, delivering repeatable results in cluttered environments. Common applications include inline part presence checks on conveyors, high-precision counting, and inspection tasks where a fixed detection point is required on manufacturing lines.
