Autonics Safety light curtain BWP series Alternatives & Competitors

The SFLA series safety light curtains are installed in potentially dangerous or hazardous areas to safeguard personnel from injury. The light curtains feature proven technology from Autonics area sensors and mapping sensors. The light curtains are built to meet internationally safety standards and regulations. Various detection models (finger/hand/hand-body detection) and safety functions are available for diverse applications. The dedicated software atLightCurtain allows real-time status monitoring user settings such as automatic muting/blanking area functions.

Slim Body Area Sensors (Picking Sensors)

The BWPK series area sensors feature a flat and compact body (10 mm) made of high strength PC/ABS (Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. Picking indicators on the emitter and receiver allow clear identification of job status. Installation and wiring is made easier with the removal of synchronization wiring. DIP switches are available to switch between various functions and modes including long/short sensing distance mode, mutual interference prevention function, Light ON/Dark ON switching and picking indicator ON/FLASHING options.

General Purpose Area Sensors

The BW series general purpose area sensors feature long sensing distance up to 7 m and are available in 22 different configurations based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. With ambient illuminance limit of 100,000 lux, the sensors can operate error-free even under direct sunlight. Bright LED indicators are present in both the emitter and the receiver, making it easy to identify the operation status. Mutual interference prevention is possible with master/slave connection method, allowing multiple units to be installed in a row.

Cross-Beam Area Sensors

The BWC cross-beam type area sensors utilize a 3-point cross-beam method detection to minimize non-detection area and provide reliable detection. 7 different configurations are available based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. The sensors provide reliable detection even in areas with high ambient lighting, up to 100,000 lux. The series also features various user-friendly functions including installation mode function, mutual interference prevention function, and self-diagnosis functions.

Body Detection

One to four beam type 4 safety light curtains protect personnel from injury and machines from damage by guarding access, areas, and perimeters. Banner Engineering offers easy-to use, heavy-duty Type 4 grids and points that able to detect a body in a cost effective safety light device. Our heavy duty light devices are built to withstand harsh industrial environments.

Our 450L GuardShield™ PAC Safety Light Curtains help protect personnel from hazardous machinery. These light curtains are designed for whole-body detection and are typically positioned around an area or in front of a machine process entry or exit area that poses a moderate to high risk of operator injury. Our GuardShield safety light curtains are unlike traditional safety light curtains, which are based on separate transmitter and receiver units. Patented technology allows each transceiver to be used as a transmitter or receiver via an innovative plug-in module. Like the other advanced products in the 450L GuardShield line, the PAC versions also feature integrated laser alignment, cascading, blanking, and integrated muting.
