Banner Engineering MGE1216A & MGR1216A Light Curtain Emitter and Receiver Set

The Banner Engineering MGE1216A & MGR1216A Light Curtain Emitter and Receiver Set is a two-piece safety light curtain that creates a protective beam across an access point to safeguard personnel and equipment. Comprising an MGE1216A emitter and an MGR1216A receiver, it is designed for use with Banner’s MACHINE-GUARD safety system and interoperates with Banner control hardware such as the MGCA-4A to monitor curtain status. The set is specified for a 12" range with a 45 ft beam distance between emitter and receiver, enabling a compact protective field for guarding presses, conveyors, and automation cells in industrial environments. Typical applications include safeguarding hazardous zones where operator access could trigger hazardous machine movements, with installation designed for compatibility with Banner safety networks to trigger appropriate stop or safety interlock logic when the beam is interrupted.
