Safety Light Curtain

Banner Engineering Corp. offers new features for the EZ-SCREEN non-contact, point-of-operation machine guarding safety light screen system. New additions include fixed blanking to accommodate materials and tooling inflow with no reduction of operator safety, a cascading option for connecting up to four EZ-SCREEN pairs, and multiple AC interfaces. Fixed blanking allows for stationary objects such as tooling or materials inflow to be ignored when positioned in a defined set of beams. If the objects are removed, the system goes into a lockout mode to ensure that an unsafe gap in the sensing field is not created.
