Clinical labs need to process samples quickly to keep throughput high and any lag during testing procedures would disrupt workflow. LED lightings, such as the K50L2, works as machine status indication so that the lab operators can process fix errors, handle samples, and collect results in a timely manner.
A Henshaw customer manufactures drivetrain and powertrain systems for the automotive industry. The company had experienced productivity losses due to errors in the assembly of transmission valve bodies. Henshaw was tasked with developing a system that would reduce errors and improve the assembly process.
A leading machine manufacturer builds workstations designed for accurate, timely and cost-effective battery cell assembly. A value added component of the workstations is an operator guidance device that does three jobs: enables assembly processes to start and stop, indicates parts to be picked and installed, and completely stops line operation if emergencies occur. When it became too costly for the OEM to construct and mount these devices themselves, they turned to Banner to craft an all-inclusive solution. To honor the time line requirements of their customer—a major tier two battery supplier—the OEM needed the solution in eight weeks.
The K50L domed 50 mm indicator light works well for status indication on autonomous shuttle buses. The buses operate on short distances in outdoor environments that exposed the bus technology to a variety of weather conditions. The rugged K50L indicators are rated IP67 and IP69K to withstand water ingress in the harsh environment.
EZ-LIGHT Daylight Visible indicators produce intense levels of light, with 18 LEDs that can be activated together or in 3 groups of 6 to control light level intensity, making them ideally suited for applications requiring clear communication in an outdoor environment. An optional sun shield increases their visibility, making them effective even in environments with high levels of sunlight.
When a window is located directly behind a cabinet, extremely bright, long lasting LED indicator lights can provide highly visible indication throughout the day. Banner’s EZ-LIGHT K50 Beacon is perfect for many indication status applications, especially in this cabinet because the beacon is highly visible even during daylight and is extremely durable with long-lasting, energy-efficient LEDs.
Visual indication is an easy, effective way to communicate status to keep equipment operating efficiently and increase productivity. Intensely bright beacon lights are highly visible during daylight and indicate the condition of the spreader twist locks to the operator cabin to ensure a secure lift. The beacon lights feature intense levels of light output and are very rugged and durable, making them ideal for outdoor indication applications.
With a Sure Cross Wireless Network, FlexPower Nodes are deployed at each tank without the need to run cables for power or I/O data transmission. Banner’s unique power management capability enables a Node equipped with an ultrasonic analog level sensor to operate for years on a single DX81 battery power supply. A DX80 FlexPower Node offers a combination of discrete and analog I/O in a single package, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual data collection.
A cardboard goods printer struggled with an inability to track machine operators’ efficiency and performance as measured against standard production rates.
When the supply of parts runs low, the assembler presses the EZ-LIGHT K50 push button to the left, which is used as a call button to signal to the runner to bring more parts. The K50 light to the right is used as a part-pick indicator.
A system of Banner’s TL70 wireless modular tower lights and K50 touch buttons provides an efficient, easy way to communicate a call for more parts with a forklift driver. When a workstation is almost out of cartons, the operator touches the ergonomic K50 touch button which changes the status on the connected TL70 wireless tower light to red.
Before the EZ-LIGHT K50L indicator light was installed, the operator would place a part on the machine and then step out of the work area to check the stack light to see if the part was loaded properly. If not, the operator had to repeat the set-and-check process before initiating the machine's action on the part. Since the K50L was installed inside the workstation, using a simple Y splice, the operator can tell immediately if the part is correctly placed.

With the Pro Editor software and Pro Converter Cable, you can easily customize indicators with a wide variety of color and animation options.
The software allows users to program their own devices in the field without requiring IO-Link.
Gray wire (flashing input)
An "X" denotes an active input. For example, when Input 1 and Input 3 are active, the indicator will show Magenta.
