- Large detection area with 3” - 36” lengths and 2 adjustable sensing ranges
- Generates a cross hatch beam pattern for extraordinary sensitivity to small objects and consistent detection of packages where the leading edge varies
- Detects objects as small as 5.6 mm and flat objects as thin as 1 mm, depending on width, that pass anywhere through the light screen
- Response speeds as fast as 0.8 ms allows automated systems to operate at higher line speeds resulting in increased throughput
- Ideal for die-protection (part ejection verification), small part, parcel and envelope handling

Application Notes
Counting Dropping Parts with an LX Sensor
Banner Engineering's LX series part-sensing light screen generates a multi-beam infrared pattern that can detect any item passing through the beams, enabling exceptional sensitivity to small objects. As small parts drop from the feeder bowl into the plastic bag, the LX sensor detects each part and triggers the line to advance when the bag contains the specified number of parts.
Leading Edge Detection of Packages with a Thin, Flexible Edge
Banner’s LX Series is an economical solution for detecting the leading edge of flat objects, such as the frozen dinner containers. With a web of modulated light, the LX Series part-sensing light screen can detect any item—in any position—passing through the light screen.
Leading Edge Detection
Sensors detect the leading edge of pallets, polybags, blister packs, envelopes, tubes, and a wide range of difficult to detect targets.
Packaging Frozen Dinners on a Cartoner
WLS28 Work Light Strips: Bright, long-lasting LED light strips provide optimal visibility inside the cartoner for operator access and easily fit on the machine without obscuring access Safety Hinge Switches: Stainless steel, load-bearing safety hinge switches support the cartoner’s machine door and will shut down the machine if the doors are opened, and minimize the risk of intentional defeat
