AG4 Series
Safety Laser Scanners
Banner Engineerings AG4 Series Laser Scanners are two-dimensional safety laser scanners that effectively protect personnel and stationary or mobile systems within a user designated area as well as provide access protection for AGS gates on a robot cell.
- Very flexible – protective and warning fields can take nearly any shape
- Capable of switching “on-the-fly” between eight pre-configured field pairs
- Adjustable response time (80 ms to 640 ms)
- Selectable resolutions 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 70mm, 150mm
- Two models available: AG4-4E with a maximum 4 meter range, AG4-6E with a maximum 6.25 m range
- Cost effective for difficult safeguarding solutions
- Interfacing options include: SC26-2 and XS26-2 Safety Controller, SC22-3/-3E Safety Controller, UM-FA-9A/-11A Universal Input Safety Module, MMD-TA-11A-12B Dual Controller Muting Module
- Compact design, simple installation and easy-to-use software provide efficient integration into work zones
- Rugged, die-cast aluminum housing withstands the rigor of factory floors.

Application Notes
Safeguarding a Single-Station Robot Weld Cell
The Banner AG4 Safety Laser Scanner is placed at the base of the hazardous area and “looks out” at the open area. It is programmed via a PC with interface software to guard the area between the physical barriers (the protective zone) and outside the barriers (the warning zone). If the operator or other personnel approach the hazardous area during robot operation, a signal is sent to alert the person that the warning zone has been entered; the robot continues operation during this time.
Robotic Guarding in Work Area without Limiting Access
Safety laser scanners work well for safeguarding applications where user access and protection are equally important. Banner’s AG4 Safety Laser Scanner with a 190º scanning angle fits nearly any shape and can evaluate an operator’s position by range and rotational angle. Its flexibility allows for new safeguarding shapes when work cell dimensions and parameters change.
