Heavy Duty Type 4 Light Curtains
EZ-SCREEN® LS light curtains are intuitive, easy-to-use safety devices used for machine safeguarding. They are built to withstand challenges commonly found in manufacturing and packaging environments.
- Highly visible alignment indicators and intuitive diagnostics simplify setup, facilitate troubleshooting and minimize system downtime
- Three resolutions (detection capability) available: 14, 23, and 40 mm with a range of up to 12 m (39 ft)
- Each emitter and receiver features a 5 mm recessed window and is protected against impact by a 3 mm thick aluminum housing and metal end caps
- System requires no PC software, DIP switches, or other device for quick, easy configuration
- Dual scan technology makes the sensor highly immune to EMI, RFI, ambient light, weld flash, and strobe light
- No blind zone design provides end-to-end sensing to eliminate gaps in detection
- Cascade up to four systems of any length, resolution and number of beams
- IP65/IP67 rated emitter/receiver pairs exceed OSHA/ANSI control reliability requirements and are certified to Type 4 per IEC 61946, Category 4 PLe per EN ISO13849.1, and SIL3/SILCL3 per IEC 61508/IEC 62061
Application Notes
Safety Measures for Meat Slicing Machine in Harsh Conditions
Safety light screens on a meat slicer protect operators from sharp blades while in operation. The environment is harsh and frequently exposed to chemical washdowns. The EZ-SCREEN LS with hygienic enclosure keeps personnel safe while preventing water and chemical damage to the light screen.
Safeguarding of a Power Press
Banner Engineering’s EZ-SCREEN LS is extremely robust with heavy duty extruded aluminum IP65/67 rated housing, metal endcaps and a recessed window to protect it from collisions related to stock removal and incidental impact.
Small Assembly Station Protection with Light Curtains
EZ-SCREEN LS safety light curtains have no DIP switches, feature end-to-end sensing, and can be easily installed with automatic configuration. The use of side mount brackets creates a quick and simple installation with adjustments made from the front side of the EZ-SCREEN LS arrays, saving time during setup. Maximizing machine uptime and reducing repair and replacement expenses helps companies remain competitive.
Safeguarding Access Points to a Depalletizer
An LS Series safety light curtain with a mute arm kit in T-configuration combined with an XS26 Series safety controller is an easy-to-implement solution that protects staff from potential hazards without disrupting the flow of pallets to the depalletizer.
