MINI-ARRAY ®
Instruction Manual
System Overview
The Banner A-GAGE ® MINI-ARRAY measuring light screen is ideal for applications
such as on-the-fly product sizing and profiling, edge-guiding and center-guiding, loop
tensioning control, hole detection, parts counting, die ejection verification, and similar
uses.
A typical MINI-ARRAY System consists of five components:
• a Controller module,
• an emitter and corresponding receiver, and
• two interconnecting cables.
Sensors are available in array lengths from 6" to 4' (in 6" increments), plus 5' and 6'
array models, as listed on page 7. Sensors are available with either 9.5 mm (3/8") or
19.1 mm (3/4") beam spacing, which translates to either 32 or 16 beams per foot of
array length. Sensors with 3/8" beam spacing have a sensing range of up to 6 m (20').
Sensors with 3/4" beam spacing have a sensing range of up to 17 m (55'); 5' and 6'
arrays have shorter range (see Specifications).
