Overview

The LTF12IC2LDQ is a high-performance laser distance sensor from Banner Engineering, utilizing time-of-flight technology for precise measurement. It provides an analog output and is capable of detecting targets at ranges from 5 cm up to 1200 cm (approximately 12 meters). The unit is housed in a rugged enclosure with a rotatable M12 quick-disconnect connector, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers a wide 12V to 30V DC operating voltage range and a consistent 55 degree Celsius upper operating temperature limit. Its rotatable M12 connector simplifies installation in tight spaces, while the analog output provides a direct interface to PLCs and industrial controllers without complex digital protocols.

Applications

Level Monitoring
Measuring the fill level of bulk solids or liquids in large tanks and silos up to 12 meters deep.
Automated Warehousing
Providing distance feedback for pallet positioning or overhead crane clearance in logistics centers.
Loop Control
Monitoring material tension or sag in web handling and manufacturing processes.
Object Detection
Long-range presence detection and distance measurement for large robotic workcells.

Getting Started

Mount the sensor securely using a compatible bracket and connect via a standard 5-pin M12 cable. Configure the analog span (4-20 mA or 0-10V depending on internal settings) using the integrated push-button interface and LCD display on the sensor body. Ensure the supply voltage is between 12V and 30V DC, and verify that the target is within the 5 cm to 1200 cm sensing window.
