Measuring Light Screen Systems

Banner Engineering offers Measuring Light Screen System. This combines ease of use with extensive features. The EZ-Array(tm) can be set up with a simple DIP switch for many applications that require computer connections in competitive systems. It offers precision accuracy with a minimum object detection of 5 mm and an edge resolution of 2.5 mm. Comprised of a bank of emitters and a parallel bank of receiving sensors, the EZ-Array is designed for detecting or measuring size and/or position of articles, components and parts, etc., in control and/or sort operations. Applications include product sizing and profiling in the packaging and forestry industries, hole detection in sheet metal fabrication, edge guiding and loop control for printing and web handling systems, and parts counting and sorting for materials handling and distribution. The system"s two-piece design with integrated electronics eliminates need for a separate controller. Proprietary software is included for more advanced settings. Its robust aluminium housing with M12 connectors meets IP65 standard. Flexible outputs include two digital, two analogue and Modbus. Visual indications include multi-coloured LEDs for status, 7-segment bar graph for alignment and 3-digit display for diagnostics. Sensing heights from 150 to 1800 mm are available and sensing distance ranges from 400 mm up to 4 m.
