Banner EZ-SCREEN LP Series Safety Light Curtain

Banner EZ-SCREEN LP emitters and receivers provide a redundant, microprocessor-controlled, opposed-mode optoelectronic “curtain of light,” or “safety light screen.” EZ-SCREEN LP typically is used for point-of-operation safeguarding, and is suited to safeguard a variety of machinery. Emitters have a row of synchronized modulated infrared (invisible) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in a compact metal housing. Receivers have a corresponding row of synchronized photodetectors. The light screen created by the emitter and receiver is called the “defined area”; its width and height are determined by the length of the sensor pair and the distance between them. The low-profile housing provides maximum sensing within minimum space; its defined area (sensing area) is equivalent to the height of the housing.

The maximum sensing range is 7 m (23'), which decreases if corner mirrors are used. The sensing area extends from end to end of the housing; there is no “dead zone.” Specialty brackets allow easy mounting of cascaded sensors, without any loss of resolution between sensor pairs.
