Safety Light Curtains in IP69K Hygienic Housing - Able to Resist Washdown & Chemical Cleaning - New From Banner Engineering

EZ-Screen LS safety light curtains from Banner Engineering are now offered with an IP69K Hygienic Housing. They can resist high-pressure, high-temperature washdown and aggressive chemical cleaning. These light curtains offer the same capabilities and ease-of-use of other EZ-Screen LS safety light curtains, but are protected by hygienic tubular enclosures. Do you have an application where maintaining sanitary conditions is critical? These light curtains are ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications where such conditions are needed.

Key Features:

• Easy-to-Clean, Hygienic Design: Made of FDA grade polycarbonate tubes and 316L stainless steel endcaps and mounting brackets. Each enclosure has a smooth, hygienic design that minimizes the opportunity for debris to accumulate, to comply with sanitary requirements.
• Chemically-Resistant Construction: IP69K rated enclosures withstand frequent, repeated exposure to many chemical cleaning agents used to sterilize equipment. They will not discolor or become cloudy over time, ensuring reliable performance for safety light curtains as well as a long operational lifespan.
• Hydrophobic Vent: Allows condensation to escape the enclosure and prevents water and chemicals from entering, eliminating the need for an integral heater element and simplifying maintenance. 
• Remote Configuration of Fixed Blanking: Models with Remote Fixed Blanking can be set up to ignore fixed objects, such as brackets or fixtures, inside the defined area without directly accessing the receiver.

New Stainless Steel Barrel-Mounted Sensors From Banner: Suitable Where Enhanced Chemical Resistance Is Required!

The new M18-4 series is a heavy-duty, chemically resistant 18 mm metal barrel sensor that features a robust IP69K rated 316 stainless steel housing suitable for many industrial environments where enhanced chemical resistance is a requirement.

Features:

• Complete family of sensors, all housed in the popular 18 mm threaded metal barrel
• Chemically robust stainless steel sensors for wash down applications
• Robust housing is sealed against fluid ingress and chemical attack
• Powerful and bright visible red emitter beam for easy alignment and setup
• Greatly increased sensing range in all models
• Highly visible output and dual-function power and stability indicators 

M18-4 Fixed-Field And Diffuse Sensors Lighting Resistance:

• High-efficiency factory lighting can generate light pulses which confuse some sensors employing only basic pulse counting demodulation methods.
• The new M18-4 sensors will remain OFF when no target is present, and reliably turn ON when the target is present even in the presence of energy efficient lighting.
• The M18-4 fixed-field and diffuse sensor's electronic ASIC includes robust cross talk avoidance.
