Banner Engineering MGE4816A Machine Guard Safety Light Curtain Emitter

The Banner Engineering MGE4816A is a 48-inch beam-array machine guard safety light curtain emitter that serves as the guarding element in Banner’s MACHINE-GUARD safety system. Encased for industrial environments with IP65 protection, it defines a guard height of 1219 mm (48 in) and uses a 38 mm beam resolution to create a dense field of sensing beams across the protected opening. As the emitter half of a light curtain pair, it is designed to be used with a compatible receiver to establish a protective barrier around machine access points and to interrupt motion when the beam path is interrupted. This model is explicitly labeled as part of Banner’s MACHINE GUARD series and carries a Type 4/13 safety rating, indicating performance appropriate for standard industrial safeguarding applications. With its 48-inch defined height, the MGE4816A offers substantial coverage while fitting common guard footprints, making it suitable for retrofits or new installations in automated lines where safeguarding is required.
