            Q5X Jam Detection Sensor
                    The Banner Engineering Q5X sensor uses an internal algorithm to quickly detect jams on conveyor systems, preventing product damage and reducing costly delays
    

The Banner Engineering Q5X jam detection sensor is a smart solution that improves upon traditional jam detection methods. Traditional systems often use simple photoelectric sensors that can lead to frequent false alarms and unnecessary production downtime. The Q5X sensor utilizes an internal algorithm that analyzes changes in both signal strength and distance to determine if items are moving freely or if a jam has occurred. This advanced approach allows it to quickly identify and respond to real jams, while also ignoring minor fluctuations that might trigger a false positive.

By detecting jams faster, the Q5X sensor helps to minimize product damage from collisions, reduce excess wear on machinery, and increase overall productivity and profitability. The sensor is designed for easy installation with standard M12 connectors, making it a simple and efficient upgrade for existing conveyor systems.
