Banner Engineering Corp. introduces the EZ-SCREEN Low-Profile Safety Light Curtain with Integral Muting, a control reliable, Type 4 Category 4 PLe machine safety product. Low-profile safety light curtains have long been a staple of Banner's machine safety product offerings and are designed for use on smaller production machines, yet are robust enough for large power presses. The rollout of the new integral muting models extends the existing EZ-SCREEN family to provide additional hookup options and functionality — all at a lower cost.

The two new redundancy modules from PULS, YR40.241 and YR80.241 can be utilized to build N+1 and 1+1 redundant systems. The modules are equipped with two input channels and one output and are designed for 40A and 80A output currents. In these new redundancy modules, for the first time traditional diodes have been replaced by MOSFETs. The benefits of the MOSFET are clear. The low on-resistance of the MOSFETs causes a considerably lower heat generation and voltage drop than when using diodes. At 40A output current, only 2.7W losses and a 50mV voltage difference is present between the input and output terminals with the YR80.241. With a traditional diode module, at least a drop of 500mV and losses of 20W will occur in a 40A scenario. The modules are short-circuit proof, protected against reverse polarity and can be operated with full power between -40°C and +70°C. The units are self-supporting and do not need an auxiliary voltage even in case of a short on the output load or cabling. The narrow width (36mm for the 40A and 46mm for the 80A module) and the built-in distribution terminals for the negative poles makes a system integration easy. For global usage, a comprehensive international approval and safety package is available including ATEX certification.

The C-Mount version of the iVu enables this versatile, easy-to-use sensor to be applied farther away from the inspection area. In addition to providing focal lengths required for different applications, C-Mount lenses also provide better light sensitivity to reduce blur and inspect higher speed applications. All iVu image sensors use an intuitive touch screen interface enabling setup, troubleshooting, and changes without the need of a PC.

Cost Effective Protection of 24V-Branches: The PISA protection modules distribute the current of a large power source to multiple lower current output channels and therefore allows for smaller wires to be used. Furthermore, it permits only so much current, on the output that the input voltage of the unit (which corresponds to the output voltage of the power supply) does not fall below 21V typically. This ensures a reliable supply voltage for sensitive equipments, such as PLCs, controls or sensors, when they are connected directly to the same power supply as the PISA protection module.

The new super slim 24V, 30W unit complements the range of MiniLine-2 power supplies, which are compact units in robust plastic housings. The powerful ML30.241 fits in a package measuring 22.5 x 75 x 91mm (width x height x depth) that is 50% smaller than the predecessor ML30.100. The new ML30 small size is matched by its price, which is about 30% lower than the older ML30.100 unit. An advanced production technology reduces production costs without compromising quality or reliability but maintains the usage of high quality components. Outstanding features of the ML30.241 are high efficiencies up to 89.4%, small width of only 22.5mm, < 0.4W no-load losses, wide temperature range up to +60°C without de-rating, long lifetime expectancy and high MTBF figures. Also included is the high immunity to transients and power surges as well as the low electromagnetic emission, which makes usage in nearly every environment possible. The ML30.241 is a member of the MiniLine-2 family along with the ML15, 15W units (models with 5V, 12V and 24V) and the ML60 supplies available in 12V and 24V. In addition to the power supplies, a MiniLine-2 redundancy module is also available in this new series.
