Safety light curtains in hygienic enclosures
EZ-Screen LS safety light curtains (photo) resist high-pressure, high-temperature washdown and aggressive chemical cleaning, and are protected by hygienic tubular enclosures, making them suitable for use in food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications. Made of FDA-grade polycarbonate tubes and 316L stainless-steel endcaps and mountain brackets, each enclosure has a smooth, hygienic design that minimizes the opportunity for debris to accumulate. The enclosures will withstand exposure to chemical cleaning agents and will not become cloudy or discolored over time, ensuring reliable light-curtain performance. A hydrophobic vent allows condensation to escape the enclosure and prevents water and chemicals from entering, eliminating the need for an integral heater element. EZ-Screen LS systems include highly visible alignment indicators and intuitive diagnostics to simplify setup and facilitate troubleshooting. Dual-scan technology makes the sensor immune to ambient light. The sensing range for these devices is up to 8.4 m (27.6 ft). Booth 2153 — Banner Engineering, Minneapolis, Minn.
