Banner Engineering has released the EZ-Screen, a rugged, easy-to-use safety light screen optimal for machine safeguarding and built to withstand the challenging conditions found in manufacturing and packaging environments. With a lean, simple design and enhanced performance features, Banner’s EZ-Screen provides a cost-efficient light screen safety solution.
The screen features highly visible and intuitive bi-colour alignment indicators that allow for simplified setup, easy troubleshooting and streamlined installation. The end-to-end sensing design eliminates gaps in detection when mounted on top of machine work surfaces and between cascaded segments. For added ease of use, the system requires no PC software, DIP switches or other device for configuration.
“The EZ-Screen incorporates the most popular functions of our previous generation light screen systems and adds new, beneficial features, all with a durable small profile and extremely simple-to-use design,” said Mike Carlson, safety products marketing manager, Banner Engineering. “In creating the safety device, we focused on optimising features that deliver high-value, while eliminating those that may complicate the installation or add further maintenance – providing our customers with a streamlined, cost-efficient safety solution.”
To accommodate diverse applications, the EZ-Screen is available in three resolutions – 14, 23 and 40 mm – with a range of up to 12 m. Sensor lengths range from 280 to 1820 mm in 70 mm increments. Cascade models are also available, which allow users to combine up to four systems of any length, any resolution and any number of beams.
The device features dual scan technology, which makes it highly immune to EMI, RFI, ambient light, weld flash and strobe light. It is also compliant with the most rigorous world-wide safety standards, including FMEA testing to ensure control reliability, and is third-party certified to Type 4 per IEC 61496, Category 4 PLe per EN ISO 13849-1, and SIL3 per IEC 61508; SIL CL3 per IEC 62061.
To withstand harsh manufacturing environments, the EZ-Screen emitters and receivers include a 5 mm recessed window and are protected against impact by a 3 mm thick aluminium IEC IP65/IP69 rated housing and metal end caps.
