PACK Expo - INTRODUCING THE T18-2 FROM BANNER ENGINEERING: EXTREMELY DURABLE PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS FOR WASHDOWN AND THERMAL SHOCK ENVIRONMENTS

The new T18-2 Series features an FDA-grade shatterproof plastic housing and is IP69K rated and ECOLAB™ certified to protect against water ingress and chemical washdown. Furthermore, the sensors smooth surface and minimal crevices ensure easy cleaning.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, September 6, 2018 - Banner Engineering, a leading provider of technology for industrial automation, today announced the release of the T18-2 Series photoelectric sensors for reliable presence detection in harsh washdown and thermal shock environments.


The new T18-2 Series features an FDA-grade shatterproof plastic housing and is IP69K rated and ECOLAB™ certified to protect against water ingress and chemical washdown. Furthermore, the sensors smooth surface and minimal crevices ensure easy cleaning.

In addition, the T18-2 housing is fully epoxy encapsulated to eliminate internal air cavities that can lead to condensation inside sensors during temperature cycling. The all-plastic sensor also features ultrasonically-welded joints for a durable seal that can withstand thermal shock with greater reliability than comparable metal sensors. This ensures reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70 °C.

Sensor setup and alignment are made simple thanks to a bright, visible red emitter (all models except infrared). The highly visible output and dual-function power and stability indicators make the sensors easy to use and troubleshoot.

The new T18-2 is ideal for harsh environments such as meat or dairy processing, food and beverage processing and packaging, and cold storage applications.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
