Overview
The Banner SLSE30-900Q8 is an EZ-Screen safety light curtain emitter designed for industrial automation and machine guarding applications. This 30mm resolution unit features a 900mm (35.4 in) defined sensing area, providing flexible detection capabilities for a wide range of material handling, assembly, and packaging equipment. With a maximum range of 18m (60 ft) and rapid 19ms response time, this emitter delivers precise object detection and safety shutdown triggers required in high-speed production environments.
