Banner Heavy-Duty Vantage Line Fiber Optics

Banner Engineering introduces new heavy-duty Vantage Line fiber optics to complement its industry-recognized fiber amplifier product family. Featuring a flexible 304 stainless steel tube, the polyethylene jacketed plastic fiber is protected from crushing or abrasion in harsh industrial environments.
To accommodate diverse applications, the heavy-duty Vantage Line plastic fibers are available in eight different models, four with opposed sensing mode and four with diffuse sensing mode, in one- and two-meter options. All heavy-duty fibers are compatible with Banner's existing plastic fiber amplifiers, including the DF-G family.
Banner's DF-G fiber amplifiers deliver stable sensing performance with fast response rates. With a thermally stable and high performance electronic design, DF-G fiber amplifiers feature dual display, digital readouts and an improved fiber clamp. DF-G fiber amplifiers also offer complete user control, providing manipulation of all operating parameters, including switch point threshold, light operate or dark operate, various output timing functions, electronic gain level and sensor response speed.

With a wide range of fiber amplifiers, Banner can effectively serve a diverse range of industries and applications, including small part or wire break detection on electronics assembly machines, pill and caplet counting and high-speed detection for registration mark or product leading edge detection.

Banner Engineering TL70 Wireless Tower Light

Banner Engineering introduces the TL70 wireless tower light. Combining the company's industry-recognized tower light family with its field-proven Sure Cross® wireless technology, the TL70 wireless tower light provides superior monitoring and visual status indication for remote applications, general and machine status, mobile call for parts, mobile work stations, threshold sensing and other applications where wired solutions are not cost-effective, practical or possible.

 

With a Banner Sure Cross wireless node built into the tower base, the TL70 offers two-way wireless communication to eliminate costly and time-consuming wiring requirements. The TL70 is available in 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz configurations, allowing them to be used with matching, standard Banner wireless gateways.

Offering superior flexibility and customization, the bright 70-mm light tower can display up to five colors—plus an audible alarm module—in one tower. The loud 92 dB adjustable alarm features four user-selectable tones, including pulsed, chirp, siren or continuous. Each light segment can be selected solid ON or flashing, and appears gray when off to eliminate false indication from ambient light.

“By combining the versatility of our modular tower lights with the reliability of our Sure Cross wireless technology, the TL70 wireless provides a unique lighting solution,” said Matt Hahn, Technical Marketing Engineer for Lighting, Banner Engineering. “With high-visibility indication and remote, two-way operation, users can achieve real-time communication to enhance monitoring applications.”

Banner’s TL70 wireless tower light is available in pre-assembled or modular segments, allowing users to build a custom device. Light and audible segments are easily configured using DIP switches on each segment.

For use in harsh environments, the TL70 wireless tower light features rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV stabilized material. Housing is available in black or gray, which allows users to match the device to their application.

Banner Engineering Motion Detectors Provide Automated Light Switching

Banner Engineering introduces the WLS28-2MQ motion detector switch for automated lighting. Banner's motion detector switches provide an efficient solution to automatically turn on or off the light in applications where a physical switch cannot be used or the placement of the switch is not useful.

Banner's motion detector switches are available in two options, an in-line module or built-in motion detector for the company's industry-recognized WLS28-2 LED Strip Light. The in-line module allows operators to place the motion detection switch away from the light, and can be used with any Banner dc voltage lights. The WLS28-2 with built-in motion detector models provide easy and fast installation in one place. 

 

"The motion detection switch offers a simple, convenient lighting solution for applications that don't easily allow manual on/off switching," said Matt Hahn, Technical Marketing Engineer for Lighting, Banner Engineering. "For example, if the motion detection switch is inside of an electrical enclosure, it will automatically turn the light on when the door is open and off when it is closed."

The motion detector switches feature M12 connectors and rugged metal housing for secure, durable performance. Detector switches are rated for 12 to 30 V dc.
