Banner Engineering EZ-Screen safety light curtain with integral muting

The Banner Engineering EZ-Screen low-profile safety light curtain with integral muting is designed for use on smaller production machines.

The two-piece optoelectronic safeguarding device creates a screen of synchronised, modulated infrared sensing beams that extend from end-to-end of the housing - ensuring operators are completely protected from machine safety hazards. They are highly immune to EMI, RFI, ambient light, weld flash and strobe lights, and come equipped with factory burned-in emitter and receiver circuitry for toughness, dependability and vibration tolerance.

The EZ-Screen LP with integral muting has a sensing range that spans from 100 mm to 7 m. Offering seven different, predefined muting configuration options - including bypass, mute-dependent override, mute enable and mute-cycle time extensions for L-style cell exit application - the safety light curtain suits diverse application requirements.

Capable of two or four mute device/sensor hookup options, including a cost-effective, two-sensor, X-pattern solution used for material entry and exit applications and an L sensor solution that minimises the floor space in manufacturing cell exit applications, the EZ-Screen LP with integral muting provides enhanced application flexibility. The optional CSM muting splitter cordset provides a complete QD connectorised solution for a simple, low-cost installation.

Featuring a built-in muting function, the EZ-Screen safety light curtains do not require a third box, which helps facilitate easy set-up, minimises wiring requirements and reduces installation costs. Set-up can be performed without a PC, handheld programmer or other device; and DIP switch configuration features many of the same functions as a standard EZ-Screen LP.
