DAS Company is an authorized Banner Engineering distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete Banner Engineering sensing, safety and IIoT portfolio — Q45 rugged rectangular photoelectric sensors, EZ-SCREEN Type 2 and Type 4 safety light curtains, Sure Cross wireless sensor networks, K50 LED indication light towers, iVu vision sensors and DXM wireless controllers — to machine builders, safety engineers and industrial automation integrators across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
The Banner Engineering Q45 is the global industry standard for rugged rectangular photoelectric sensors in harsh industrial environments — designed as a direct replacement for mechanical limit switches with superior sensing range and no mechanical wear. The Q45 housing (limit-switch body style, 45×30×20 mm, IP67) provides through-beam (opposed mode), retroreflective and diffuse sensing with NPN/PNP discrete output, 10–30 VDC supply and M12 4-pin or 2 m integral cable termination options. TEACH function (single push-button or remote teach input) enables field sensitivity setting without a screwdriver or handheld programmer — reducing commissioning time on conveyor and machine tool applications. The Sure Cross Q45 wireless variant (900 MHz, integrated radio node and D-cell battery) combines photoelectric sensor, wireless transmitter and 4-year battery into a single device — enabling sensing at locations where power and signal cable infrastructure is impractical, such as mobile carts, conveyor transfer sections and rotating machine elements. Q45 wireless sensors pair with the DXM wireless controller and Banner Cloud Data Services (CDS) for IIoT OEE monitoring — transmitting part counts, cycle times and machine status to the cloud without PLC integration.
The Banner Engineering EZ-SCREEN safety light curtain range provides IEC 61496-1 Type 2 and Type 4 optoelectronic machine access guarding for point-of-operation safeguarding, perimeter access control and presence detection on presses, punches, injection moulding machines, robotic cells and automated assembly equipment. The EZ-SCREEN pair system (emitter + receiver, yellow housing, M12 8-pin quick-disconnect) is available in 14 mm resolution (finger detection) and 30 mm resolution (hand detection) at protected heights from 150 mm to 1,900 mm — covering the complete range of machine hazardous zone heights from small press point-of-operation guarding to full-height perimeter access protection. The EZ-SCREEN LS provides a simplified single-connection wiring scheme (all safety connections from the receiver only) — reducing panel wiring time and eliminating the muting and blanking external module requirements of previous EZ-SCREEN generations. TRIP and LATCH output variants cover both automatic restart (TRIP) and manual reset (LATCH) safety circuit architectures as required by EN ISO 13849-1 risk assessment. The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Heavy Duty (LS2HD) variant provides IP69K washdown-rated curtains for food and beverage packaging machine guarding applications. FDA-grade polycarbonate tubular enclosures are available to protect standard EZ-SCREEN curtains in high-pressure washdown environments without purchasing a separate IP69K model.
The Banner Engineering Sure Cross wireless sensor network (900 MHz frequency hopping spread spectrum, ISM band) provides wireless I/O connectivity for industrial sensors and actuators at distances up to 3.2 km line-of-sight — without the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interference limitations of short-range wireless systems. The DX80 Performance Node (6 universal I/O channels per node, IP67) connects any combination of digital inputs, analogue inputs, digital outputs and analogue outputs to a DX80 Gateway — providing wireless remote I/O for sensors, actuators and switches at inaccessible or hazardous-access locations. The DXM Wireless Controller combines Sure Cross gateway, local I/O, Modbus master/slave, EtherNet/IP and DIO control logic in a single DIN-rail unit — providing a complete wireless automation controller for standalone monitoring, control and alarm applications without a separate PLC. The DXM connects to Banner Cloud Data Services (CDS) via Ethernet — enabling cloud-based sensor data visualisation, alarm notifications and OEE metric dashboards from Banner's IIoT platform without custom cloud software development.
The Banner Engineering K50 LED indicator (50 mm cylindrical, IP67, M18 thread, panel or bracket mount) provides a highly visible machine status indicator in red, amber, green, blue and white — with steady, flashing and pulsing modes and 24 VDC supply. The K50 is the standard Banner indicator for HMI panel and machine face-plate status indication alongside sensors and controls. The Tower Light TL50 and TL70 series provide multi-segment LED stack lights (1–5 colour segments, 24 VDC, M30 thread or flange mount) for machine status, production rate and alarm visualisation on machine pillars and control panel tops. The WLS28-2 wireless LED strip light integrates a Sure Cross radio node into a flexible LED strip — providing wireless machine status illumination for AGV, conveyor and machine cell applications where cabling restricts strip light installation. All Banner indication products are available with audible buzzer segments (pulsing and continuous tone) for multi-sense operator alerting in high-noise factory environments.
The Banner Engineering iVu vision sensor provides machine vision inspection — presence/absence, match, area, count, bead and barcode reading functions — in a self-contained sensor body without a separate vision controller, PC or specialist vision software. The iVu TG (Touch and Go) series (integrated 1.3 MP or 5 MP imager, touchscreen display, IP67) programs inspection routines via an intuitive on-sensor touchscreen without vision engineering expertise — enabling machine tool operators and maintenance technicians to set up and modify inspections in minutes. The iVu BCR barcode reader covers 1D (Code 128, Code 39, Data Matrix) and 2D (QR Code) barcode reading for traceability, label verification and packaging inspection on production lines. Banner vision sensors connect via Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) to standard PLCs — replacing dedicated barcode reader controllers and vision PCs in many applications with a single sensor device.
The Banner D-TECT radar presence sensor uses 24 GHz Doppler radar to detect personnel movement in machine guarding applications — operating through plastic machine panels, dust, fog and smoke where photoelectric and ultrasonic sensors fail. D-TECT covers safety distance monitoring for collaborative robot (cobot) workspace control and speed-and-separation monitoring per ISO/TS 15066 without physical barriers. Banner ultrasonic sensors (Q45U series, T30U series) provide non-contact distance measurement and presence detection of any target material — liquids, powders, clear film and foam — at 15 cm to 10 m range, immune to target colour and surface finish limitations that affect photoelectric sensors in level monitoring, vehicle loop detection and transparent film splice detection applications.
