Banner Engineering: Next Generation Standalone Scanner Enhanced with Additional Features

PBUS-33-Banner-SX5B6SafetyScanner-400.jpg

November 11, 2021

SX-Series safety laser scanners protect personnel, equipment, and mobile equipment within a user-defined region. Banner’s new SX5-B6 can continuously scan a 275° area to create a two-dimensional protected zone around a potential hazard or obstruction. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, installed to monitor the space around corners, or positioned centrally to observe two separate 90° zones, or attached to automated guided vehicles (AGV) to prevent collisions. The SX5-B6 includes the same features of its predecessor, the SX5-B, and has expanded functionality to solve even more applications.

STANDALONE DESIGN

The SX5-B6 laser scanner is designed to operate as a single unit. It’s compact, durable, and easy to deploy for area and access guarding. Its 275° field of view makes it extremely versatile for protecting safety zones, whether they might be floor areas or vertical planes. (SX-Series laser scanners are also available as master and remote models, which offer additional functionality.)

ENHANCED SENSOR CAPABILITIES

The SX5-B6 safety laser scanner is versatile, with five different available detection resolutions (30, 40, 50, 70, or 150 mm). With easy-to-use software, it can be configured to detect or ignore objects of various sizes. For example, if operator hands or arms pass into a detection zone near a potential hazard, a safety response can be triggered immediately to prevent injury. Conversely, the sensor features Partial Dynamic Muting to allow safe passage of parts within a given size range. The operating temperature range of the scanner has been extended for applications in environments with temperatures as low as -‍10°C. The SX5-B6 also features External Device Monitoring (EDM) to ensure that external contactors controlled by the safety module outputs are able to interrupt the safety circuit.

(If more capabilities are required for applications, Banner’s SX5 master and remote models provide advanced features for enhanced personnel and equipment protection. The SX5 master can monitor three safety zones simultaneously with three individual safety outputs. It also features 70 unique zone sets, selectable scan codes, speed monitoring, and removeable memory.)

FIELD-REPLACEABLE WINDOW

The SX5-B6 is ruggedly built, immune to ambient light, and resistant to dust. Repair of scratched windows can be performed easily in the field with the new replaceable window feature. This reduces downtime as well as replacement unit cost. Anti-static cleaning kits are also available to prevent scratches as laser scanners are very sensitive to cleaning agents and materials on the lens.

Applications

  •    –   Safeguarding work areas, including robot weld cells
  •    –   Safeguarding conveyors
  •    –   Safeguarding corners of walls or equipment
  •    –   Zone switching for forklift access
  •    –   AVG navigation and safety

icotek: EMC-KEL-DS – Split EMC Cable Entry Frames for Shielding Cables With Connectors / IP55

The EMC cable entry frame EMC-KEL-DS has been metallised (galvanise coated) to create a conductive surface. The front cable grommet (KT) is used for strain relief and cable sealing on the cable jacket. The cable shield is contacted over 360° via the rear conductive grommet (EMC-KT). The EMC-KEL-DS frames match exactly the cut-out dimensions for 24-pin standard industrial connectors. Either a cut-out of 36 mm or 46 mm in height can be chosen depending on the cables being routed.

The new Safegate Type 4 access control barrier safety light curtains provide protection in a wide range of industrial applications requiring integration of the muting functions. The muting function temporarily disables the safety function when a workpiece or conveying palette passes through the detection area of safety light curtains or safety sensors. Safegate safety curtains feature integrated muting functions with two access control (body protection) hardware or software configuration options.

Integra Enclosures Latch Types

Picking the correct latch is a small but important step when deciding the type of the enclosure needed for your project. Different styles of latches can affect the usability, security, and NEMA rating of an enclosure. All of the latch options for Integra’s polycarbonate enclosures offer a minimum NEMA 4X protection rating, with certain styles being able to achieve NEMA 6P.

HARTING: Current Measurement

HARTING: Current Measurement

Whether for transportation or industrial applications: the ability to quickly and accurately detect current is required in order to precisely control power electronics systems such as frequency converters, traction converters, UPS systems or welding systems. Current sensors are electromechanical components which deliver a precise, real-time representation of the input and output currents. The measuring signals are then used (e.g. in frequency converters) for precisely controlling the power semiconductors and for monitoring performance and functionality.
