Banner Engineering MB52-16685 Multi-Beam Scanner

MB52-16685 is a Banner Engineering MULTI-BEAM Scanner Block, a modular optical sensor component that pairs with a Banner power block and logic module to form the versatile MULTI-BEAM sensing family. As a scanner block, it houses the emitter and receiver optics within a rugged, corrosion-resistant PBT enclosure and supports the common MULTI-BEAM configurations when paired with compatible blocks. The MULTI-BEAM system offers 2-, 3-, and 4-wire options and can operate in opposed, retroreflective, diffuse, convergent, and glass fiber optic modes, with sensing ranges up to 200 m depending on configuration. This component is part of a three-piece architecture (scanner block, power block, logic module) and is designed for industrial automation tasks such as object detection and part presence on conveyors, while Banner notes that it is not intended for personnel protection.
