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.

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. The EZ-SCREEN LS pair model numbers come with an LS receiver, LS emitter, end-cap bracket kit, and center-mount bracket kit, making them a reliable choice for a range of manufacturing and packaging applications.

Safety light curtains with integrated Muting functions. The Janus series is the solution for the protection of a vast number of high-risk industrial applications, in particular those requiring a high level of integration of the safety functions. For example, in the models with built-in Muting function, Janus guarantees the independence of the light curtain from the control circuits of the system (often distant from the protected gate) and, where necessary, also the integration of the Muting sensors. Settings of each function integrally performed via themain connector.

The Admiral serie of safety light curtains, with integrated balnking functions, is the ideal solution for the protection of the majority of high-risk industrial applications. Long Range models with 2, 3 and 4 allow beams reach a max. of 60 m, while the Dual beams models reaches the max. of 80 m.

Safety light curtain with integrated Muting functions for the protection of high-risk industrial applications, in particular those requiring a highlevel of integration of the muting functions. SAFEGATE guarantees the integration of the muting sensors that can be connected directly to the safety light curtain. Programmable models (SMPO) functional parameters configuration can be managed via Safegate Configuration Software (SCS)

• A muting system can be configured easily in combination with the safety light curtain.

• Muting functions can be stably performed even when workpieces with holes pass.

The safety light curtains ULVT consist of the two components: transmitter and receiver. The distance between both components and the overall height result in those protection width and - height.

By the modular construction protection heights of 100mm to 1900mm are realizable. Special sizes are also available.

If an object is in the protection field, i.e. it is darkened at least one of the beams,

the two outputs of the receiver interrupt the dangerous movement of the machine, or prevent a start. A renewed start of the machine is in the operating mode with restart only possible by pressing the start push-button during a free protection field.

Several LED at the receiver display thereby the respective operating condition. The system detects an internal or external error the machine is immediately switched off and the LED in the transmitter or in the receiver shows by flashing the error status.

By the modular construction protection heights of 100mm to 1900mm are realizable. Special sizes are also available.

Transmitter and receivers operate synchronously, i.e. at the same point in time only a light beam and a reception item are active. The synchronisation is made by the first light beam and the first reception item. Between transmitter and receivers therefore no electrical connection is necessary.

The transmitter creates infrared light beams, which are switched on and off rapidly successively. The parallel light beams with a distance from 7,5mm are controlled by two a chip micro controllers. A resolution of 14mm is realised by the beam distance.

Synchronously to the light beams of the transmitter in the receiver all reception items are analysed by two a chip micro controllers. If an object is in the protection field, i.e. it is darkened at least one of the beams, the two outputs of the receiver interrupt the dangerous movement of the machine, or prevent a start.
