Banner Engineering Improves Production Efficiency with Machine Safety

It is undeniable that machines have helped improve production efficiencies over a large variety of workspaces. However, at the same time, their moving parts, hot surfaces, and sharp edges have also increased the risk of serious injuries. Safeguards are therefore essential to ensure the maximum degree of protection for workers.

Banner Engineering is a pioneer in the world of machine safety and has designed & developed products that can protect personnel & equipment from an accident without limiting the level of productivity.

Safety Light Curtains

In simple words, Safety Light Curtains are invisible curtains between a transmitter and a receiver. As soon as an object passes through this curtain, an alarm is generated leading to a specific action as programmed by the user. Banner offers Type 4 safety light curtains that can be installed as guarding points for areas of sensitive nature. Similarly, Type 2 curtains are also available, offering a cost-effective solution for lower-risk applications.  

The curtains use a dual scan technology, making the sensor highly immune to any ambient light, EMI, or RFI.

The system requires absolutely no PC software or DIP switches.

Emergency Stop Controls

These devices are required in hazardous areas where workers need to be able to stop devices during an emergency with the push of a button.

Safety Limit & Interlock Switches

Safety interlock switches are designed to respond as soon as a mechanical guard opens. These switches are built to withstand harsh conditions, including any attempts to override the switch and defeat the system.

Safety Laser Scanners

These scanners provide a laser safety solution for mobile & stationary applications that can’t be covered by other safeguarding solutions.

Safety Relays

Relays have long been known to act as an interface between a safety device and a machine that is being monitored & controlled. Safety relays offer similar functionalities.

There are several other types of safety relays available as well, designed for a specific parameter such as pressure-sensitive safety mat relays, safety extension relays, safe speed monitoring relays, muting safety relays, and so on.

Banner's machine safety products provide the highest levels of machine safety, and Advanced Controls & Distribution has the expertise to help you choose the best solution for your application.
