Banner MGCB-5A Beam Array Machine Guard System
We are pleased to offer you this nice
Banner MGCB-5A Beam Array Machine Guard System
The Banner MACHINE-GUARD is a microprocessor-controlled opposed mode optoelectronic “curtain of lightâ€. It is designed for use as a point-of-operation guarding device on production machinery such as hydraulic and pneumatic power presses, molding presses, and other automated production equipment.
The cost of crating this item is: $40.00.
Provides detection on three sides with the use of two corner mirrors, included.
The Banner MACHINE-GUARD is a modular machine guard system.
This system includes the following:• One MGE1216A emitter unit
• One MGR1216A receiver unit
• One Model MGCB-5A control box
• Interconnecting cables
*the following information is taken from the manufacturer's Instruction Manual, which can be found online at:

Width of defined area: 6 inches (15 cm) minimum. 3x excess gain at 45 feet (14 m); somewhat less when lens shields and corner mirrors are used.
Height of defined area: 12 inches (305 mm)
Minimum object sensitivity: 1.50 inches (38, I mm); assumes no floating blanking in use. See Figure 6 (page 11) for more information.
Response time: Less than 40 milliseconds using an emitter and receiver of up to 48 inches in length; less than 55 milliseconds using an emitter and receiver of 54 to 72 inches in length.
Self-checking interval: 20 milliseconds
Ambient light immunity: >10,000 lux at 5° angle of incidence
Strobe light immunity: Totally immune to one Federal Signal Corp. ''Fireball'' model FB2PST strobe.
Emitter elements: Infrared LEDs; 880nm peak emission
* Size: see Figure 13, page 18
* Material: Aluminum, with black anodized finish; acrylic lens cover
* Rating: NEMA 4, 13 (IP 65)
* Size: see Figure 13, page 18
* Material: Welded steel box with black polyester powder paint finish
Emitter and receiver are each supplied with a pair of mounting brackets. Mounting brackets are 11-gauge cold-rolled black zinc chromate finished steel. A set of four vibration dampening mounts is also supplied.
Status indicators (on control box):
Flashing green = BLANKING "on"
Flashing yellow = waiting for powerup key reset
NOTE: Use only Banner cables, which incorporate a "twisted pair'' for noise immunity on RS485 com lines. Use of other cables can result in "nuisance" lockouts. Emitter and receiver cables are ordered separately. Banner 5-conductor cables have a straight QD (Quick Disconnect) connector molded onto the sensor end. Cables measure .5" in diameter, and are PVC-jacketed. Conductors are 16-gauge. Two liquid-tight cable gland/strain relief fittings are supplied with each control box to admit the emitter and receiver cables through the selected knockouts on the control box wall. The total length of the emitter and receiver cables should not exceed 175 feet. See page 34 for listing of cable models.
Control box MGCB-5A: 230V ac (50/60Hz), 50 VA
Control box MGCB-5A: 1/4 amp, 250V ac (3AG slow blow)
Four LEDs indicate 6 system status conditions (see Fig. 15, page 23)
Keyed RESET of system lockout conditions
ARRAY LENGTH selection switches
BLANKING function selection switches
Auxiliary monitor relay: Reed relay; 125V ac or dc max., 500 mA. max. (lOV A maximum, resistive load)
Output configuration (FSDl, FSD2, and SSD):
Forced-guided contact relays, 250V ac max., 4 amps max. (resistive load). Mechanical life 10,000,000 operations (minimum). Electrical life (at full rated load) 100,000 operations (typical). Arc suppression is recommended when switching inductive loads. See Figure 12, page 17.
Operating temperature: 0 to +50°C (+32 to 122°F)
Relative humidity: 95% maximum (non-condensing)
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) tested:
per requirements of BS 6491 Part 1 Section 9 and proposed first edition of UL 491 Standard, Section SA4
