BANNER's EZ-SCREEN LS light curtains are a reliable and easy-to-use safety device designed for machine safeguarding in challenging manufacturing and packaging environments. With three resolutions available, ranging from 14 mm to 40 mm, and a range of up to 12 m, these light curtains provide end-to-end sensing with no blind zones. The aluminum housing and metal end caps protect each emitter and receiver against impacts, while highly visible alignment indicators and intuitive diagnostics make setup and troubleshooting a breeze.

The EZ-SCREEN LS system requires no PC software or DIP switches for quick and easy configuration. The dual scan technology ensures high immunity to EMI, RFI, ambient light, weld flash, and strobe light. The no blind zone design eliminates gaps in detection, while the system can cascade up to four systems of any length, resolution, and number of beams.

These light curtains are certified to Type 4 per IEC 61946, Category 4 PLe per EN ISO13849.1, and SIL3/SILCL3 per IEC 61508/IEC 62061, exceeding OSHA/ANSI control reliability requirements.
