Banner Engineering's LTF Time-of-Flight Laser Sensors Just Got Even Better!

Banner Engineering's L-GAGE LTF Laser Sensors are now available in extended range models. These extended range models are able to detect and inspect objects from up to 24 m away without the use of a retroreflector, while still achieving accuracy error of less than 1% of range and less than 25 mm of accuracy error when using a white target. Considered an affordable alternative to sensors with similar range capabilities, they offer greater range capabilities than similarly priced time-of-flight sensors.

Key Features:

  • The extended 24 m range allows the LTF Series sensors to be used to solve many applications that previously were primarily solved by more expensive sensors specifically designed for long distances
  • Installation and maintenance is simplified - diffuse mode sensing eliminates the need for a retroreflective target
  • Users are able to begin inspecting more quickly with no downtime to service targets
  • The two-line, eight-character display and pushbutton programming facilitate sensor setup and troubleshooting, enabling real-time distance measuring and application monitoring
  • Durable IP67 housing, high ambient light immunity, and stable performance across temperatures
  • Reliable performance in many challenging environments
  • Models featuring IO-Link communication have powerful advanced features, including remote configuration, remote monitoring, and extended diagnostics

Banner's LTF, Now With IO-Link: Offering Robust Two-Way Communication, Reliable Detection, and Exceptional Accuracy!

What is IO-Link?

IO-Link is a point-to-point serial communication protocol used to communicate with sensors and devices that support IO-Link and are connected to a master device.  CLICK HERE for more information on IO-Link and its key features.

Banner's long-range time-of-flight laser measurement sensor, the LTF, has now added IO-Link to its list of many benefits.  The L-GAGE LTF now offers models with two independently configurable discrete outputs and the IO-Link industrial protocol. These new models now allow for robust two-way communication between the sensor and master device. Regardless of target color, material, or reflectivity, Banner's LTF series provides exceptional accuracy over long distances and reliable detection. CLICK HERE to learn more about Banner's LTF long-range accuracy sensor.

Benefits of LTF with IO-Link:
  • Remote Configuration
  • Remote Monitoring
  • Extended Diagnostics
  • Simple Device Replacement
  • Interface Versatility
  • Simplifies Wiring, Preventative Maintenance, and Device Replacement

Durability and Precision Measurement: Banner's LTF Long Range Accuracy Sensor Delivers Both

Banner L-GAGE LTF Series Long Range Accuracy Sensor


Providing durable, precise measurement for a variety of challenging target applications, the Banner LTF sensor offers solutions where other sensors fall short. The LTF sensor uses time-of-flight measurement, emitting a pulsed light, measuring the amount of time for the light to reflect off the object and return to the sensor to calculate the distance. This enables sensing in long-range applications across a wide variety of targets.

With high excess gain, high reliability, and ease-of-use, the LTF provides best-in-class performance. Dynamically adjusted laser power increases output for dark targets or objects at steep angles, while reducing power for shiny targets, providing accurate measurements across a wide range of challenging applications.  The LTF sensor offers easy setup without a manual, quick monitoring and troubleshooting, and no learning curve when transitioning between products.
