Banner manufactures a photoelectric sensor for every application in a variety of operating voltages, outputs, sensing modes, and housing styles, as well as comprehensive lines of machine safety products and photoelectric and ultrasonic sensors for measurement and inspection applications. Photoelectrics Banner Engineering Corp. produces the industry's most complete integrated line of photoelectric sensors and fiber optics - a photoelectric sensor for every application. Banner, "The Photoelectric Specialist", offers better product line variety, customer service, and value than any other photoelectric manufacturer. Machine Safety Safety light screen systems generate a curtain of sensing beams up to 60 feet wide and from 4 inches to 6 feet in height. They are used to guard zones of dangerous machine motion. Banner machine safety light screen systems feature diverse-redundant circuitry, are extensively FMEA tested, and are constructed to strict worldwide standards for design, test, and manufacture. Banner Safety Light Screens have safety approvals from recognized independent approval agencies. DUO-TOUCH two-hand anti-tiedown control modules are safety devices which require two inputs to be operated simultaneously in order to start and maintain a normal machine cycle. This requires the use of both hands, limiting the ability of the operator to place either or both hands into the hazardous area of the machine during a machine cycle. Banner OTB Series Optical Touch Buttons are ideal "input devices" for DUO-TOUCH modules. Emergency-stop monitoring safety modules (E-Stops) are designed to increase the control reliability of an emergency stop switch by monitoring the switch for contact failure, short circuit, and wiring faults. The emergency stop switch becomes an input to the E-Stop emergency stop monitoring safety relay, which has redundant output relays. If the monitoring safety relay detects a failure of either the emergency stop switch or the output relays, the E-Stop's output is disabled and requires a manual reset. Banner SI Series Safety Interlock Switches operate in response to the opening of a mechanical guard. They interlock mechanical guards with machine stop circuits. Some models have integral actuators, some have separate actuators. SI switches feature "positive opening" contacts for high reliability and triple-coded actuators for prevention of tampering or defeat. Four major styles are offered: limit switch, locking, flat pack, and magnetic. Measurement & Inspection (including ultrasonics) Banner manufactures a large variety of devices for use in measurement and inspection applications. PresencePLUS� Pixel-Counting Inspection Systems - a solution to many inspection applications where a defect can occur anywhere within the sensor's field of view, and where a configuration of multiple discrete sensors is either cost-prohibitive or mechanically impractical. Part Sensing Light Screens - Systems for part ejection verification and bin-pick verification. Profiling Light Screen Systems - Systems for on-the-fly parts sizing and profiling and web guiding applications. Request more information. Back to product listings.

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC AUTOMATION. Programmable Logic Controllers Automation experts have called Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) the heart of machine and factory automation systems for the past few decades. Mitsubishi Electric, a veteran of the business for over 20 years, produces PLCs used in applications ranging from the largest networked systems with many thousands of I/O, to stand alone Micro PLCs found on the simplest machinery. Today, they rank as a top PLC supplier to world markets. To further improve their global position, they continue to concentrate on quality, performance, compatibility, and service, in order to offer the best possible value to their customers. Operator Interfaces Control hardware alone does not make an excellent control system. Without the ability for appropriate operator interaction/feedback, information flow, and powerful software creation tools, automation systems often fail to meet their promise. Since the inception of automatic controls, design and production engineers have wrestled with the challenges of creating an effective and functional man to machine interface, and plant productivity has tracked their success or failure. Mitsubishi Electric recognizes these opportunities, and they now offer an array of Operator Interface (OI) and software products created to facilitate in the struggle to conquer these challenges. Motion Control Systems Motion Control: the rising star of factory automation - a star Mitsubishi has followed since entering the motion control market place in 1987 with the MR-SA, the industry's first digital servo amplifier. Reduced size, ease-of-use and accurate control characteristics were the tangible benefits of Mitsubishi's first all digital design. A continued commitment and investment in research has produced a superior line of motion control products ranging from stand-alone and PLC based motion controllers, to digital servo amplifiers and brushless servo motors. When industry mandates called for the downsizing of machines and reduced overall system costs, Mitsubishi responded with the MR-J. This digital servo incorporated space saving "bookshelf" construction, improved reliability and enhanced performance. Building upon the success of their micro servo design philosophy and a renewed focus on worldwide certification and approval, a new series of motion control products emerged with even greater capability and functionality. AC Variable Frequency Drives Mitsubishi has a unique and rich heritage in the design and manufacture of AC variable frequency drives (VFDs) dating back to 1982 when they introduced their first inverter to North America. Superior performance, reliability, user-friendly features and high functionality packaged in the smallest footprint possible, has always been the blueprint used for all of their AC VFD designs. Ultra-micro drives for small machines and light commercial settings. General purpose, full function drives for almost any variable and constant and torque application imaginable. Special purpose drives for fan and pump applications requiring economy and performance. Vector drives for complex speed, torque and position control applications. Pre-engineered, mounted and wired packaged drives in NEMA 1 or 12 enclosures, available with a wide range of optional accessories. These innovations make Mitsubishi's offering one of the most comprehensive and diverse lines available in the industry. Request more information. Back to product listings.

At the core of our product line is our CYCLO speed reducer which, through half a century and over 6 million installations worldwide, has proven itself in a wide variety of applications. Since all torque transmitting parts of the CYCLO operate in compression (rather than shear) and many teeth (rather than just one or two) share the load, CYCLOS can absorb up to 500% shock load. Many models of CYCLO reducers can be grease lubricated which means no oil, no oil leaks, minimum maintenance and long, trouble-free life. They are designed for extraordinarily long life and they are warranted for 24 months regardless of hours of operation. Request more information. Back to product listings.
