Banner Engineering BMR348A Beam Array Receiver

Description:

The Banner BMR348A Beam Array Receiver (27114) is used in industrial safety and automation systems to detect objects passing through a multi-beam sensing field for presence detection, counting, or machine guarding applications. It is commonly installed as part of Banner BEAM-ARRAY light curtain systems in OEM machinery, packaging lines, and material handling equipment where reliable optical detection over a defined sensing area is required. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this receiver for safety system replacement, automation repairs, and restoration of legacy light curtain setups.

Applications:

The Banner BMR348A beam array receiver is commonly used in packaging machinery, conveyor systems, automated assembly lines, sorting systems, and industrial safety guarding applications where detection of objects or personnel intrusion is required. It is typically paired with an emitter unit to create a 3 ft (approx. 1 m) sensing field for monitoring part presence, flow detection, or safeguarding hazardous machine zones in manufacturing environments.
