COMPACT SAFETY LIGHT CURTAIN WITH NO DEAD ZONES
New EZ-SCREEN LP from Banner Engineering
combines robust performance with low cost

A compact, low-cost Type 4 Safety Light Curtain has been introduced by Banner Engineering. The new EZ-SCREEN LP (Low Profile) provides continuous protection for the entire length of the screen, with no dead zones. Its two-piece design (emitter and receiver) with integrated controls eliminates the need for a separate controller.

The curtain is designed for easy mounting and reliable operation on machinery used in a wide range of industries including automotive, electronics and semiconductor, materials handling and metalworking.

Screens are available in safety yellow, brushed anodized aluminum for a more aesthetic appearance where yellow is not required, and a nickel plated ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe housing for semiconductor applications. Units are available with 14 mm resolution for finger detection or 25 mm resolution for hand detection. Protection heights range from 270 to 1810 mm with detection range up to 7 m and response times are 8 to 43 ms.

The 28 x 26 mm housing profile fits on small machines with minimal protrusion. Brackets for end or side mounting are included, with rotating fasteners for fine alignment. Additional mounting hardware to accommodate almost any machine configuration is available. Cascading units to guard multiple sides with no overlap will be introduced soon.

Setup is easy without a PC, using DIP switches and a seven-segment LED display and a bar graph indicator showing diagnostic information. Contiguous beams can be blanked for situations where part of the machine would block the curtain.
EZ-SCREEN LP is certified to Type 4, Category 4 PLe and SIL 3. Is also exceeds OSHA/ANSI Control Reliability requirements.

Banner Engineering is one of the world's leading manufacturers of vision sensors, photoelectric and ultrasonic sensors, fiber optic assemblies, indicator lights, machine guarding systems, precision measurement and inspection systems and wireless network products. The company provides local application support worldwide.
