Banner Engineering A-Gage Mini-Array (MAC Series) BMRL632A-52491
The Banner A-Gage Mini-Array measuring light screen is ideal for applications such as on-the-fly product sizing and profiling, edge-guiding and center-guiding, loop tensioning control, hole detection, parts counting, die ejection verification, and similar uses.
A typical Mini-Array System consists of five components:
A Controller module.
An emitter and corresponding receiver
Two interconnecting cables.
Sensors are available in array lengths from 6" to 4' (in 6" increments), plus 5' and 6' array models, as listed on page 7. Sensors are available with either 9.5 mm (3/8") or 19.1 mm (3/4") beam spacing, which translate to either 32 or 16 beams per foot of array length. Sensors with 3/8" beam spacing have a sensing range of up to 17 m (55'); 5' and 6' arrays have shorter range.
Features
Measuring Light Screen system for inspection and profiling applications
Modular system with compact controller and a variety of BMEL/BMRL series Mini-Array emitters and receivers
Sensors available with either 9.5 mm (3/8") or 19.1 mm (3/4") beam spacing and with array lengths from 6" to 4' (in 6" increments), plus 5' and 6' models
Controller is programmable for any one or two of ten measurement modes (depending on model) and any one of four scanning modes, using a computer running Windows XP, Vista, or 7 and the Banner-supplied software.
Software is also supplied for display of error analysis (via controller self-diagnostics) and for sensor alignment
System status, including alignment, is displayed via LED indicators on the controller and on the receivers.
Controller may be programmed for blanking to ignore activity in one or two fields along the length of the array
Programmable hysteresis at the high and/or low limit of each measurement area provides smoothing of output response; also programmable for number of consecutive scans before an output update.
Separate gate input (e.g., from a presence sensor) allows control of scan initiation
Supports serial communication with a computer or PLC via RS-232C interface; enables a computer or PLC to process scan data and/or initiate scans; serial data may be either ASCII or binary.
