The world’s most popular photoelectric is now the world’s smartest.

MINI-BEAM®: Millions of sensors in use.
The MINI-BEAM is the world’s most popular miniature
photoelectric sensor. With millions of units in use worldwide,
it has become the benchmark for small photoelectrics. Fact is,
there are more MINI-BEAMs solving more sensing applications
in more plants worldwide than any other sensor. Because there
is a MINI-BEAM to solve every application in your plant, it is
also your best single-sensor choice to standardize all of your
sensing applications.
Advanced “TEACHABLE” microprocessor.
The new MINI-BEAM® Expert ™* features a highly advanced,
“teachable” microprocessor. With the sensor in TEACH mode,
it can “learn” the ON and OFF sensing conditions required,
compute the most accurate setting for recognizing the difference
in received light signals, and self-program that setting.
*Patent pending

Diffuse

Simple, one-button operation.
The MINI-BEAM Expert “learns” each job with the push
of a single button. Simply push it once with the sensor
pointed at the ON condition, and once with it pointed at
the OFF condition. Not only does it provide extremely
accurate sensitivity settings, this single pushbutton is
extremely easy to use, and it eliminates the potential for
adjustment tampering on your production line.

The sensing modes you need.
The MINI-BEAM Expert is available in many sensing modes to
solve virtually every sensing application in your plant. Sensing
modes include: regular and wide angle diffuse (proximity mode),
polarized retroreflective, retroreflective mode clear object detection,
convergent, plus infrared and visible beam fiber optics. See page 6
for available models and specifications.

MINI-BEAM®®Expert ™™: Push one button to solve your toughest applications.
Precise, low-contrast sensitivity adjustments.
The MINI-BEAM Expert recognizes the most difficult low-contrast
sensing conditions, and automatically expands its sensitivity
range to compute the most accurate setting for differentiating
even small differences in the received light signals. It is the most
accurate system available and will solve tough applications such
as white materials on a white background, small components,
edge detection, sensing small or lightly tinted color marks, and
transparent materials (see below).

Increased reliability for sensing
clear and reflective materials.
The MINI-BEAM Expert offers vastly increased
reliability versus standard sensors, for sensing
transparent and highly reflective materials, such
as plastic, shrink-wrap, clear plastic webs, bottles
and numerous other applications. The specialized
retroreflective clear object detection model
optically improves sensing contrast with clear
target materials such as glass.
Accurate indicators for excess gain
and sensing contrast stability.
In TEACH mode, the patented Banner Alignment
Indicating Device (AID™) superimposes a pulse
rate proportional to the strength of the received light
signal. After programming, when the sensor returns
to the RUN mode, the display provides an ongoing
indication of contrast stability at a glance.

In TEACH mode:
Flashing red LED in TEACH mode indicates
excess gain (AID circuit). Amber indicates
when sensor is ready to learn each condition.

In RUN mode:
Solid green LED indicates acceptable sensing
contrast. Amber indicates output ON.
Flashing green LED indicates sensing
contrast “marginal.”
Alternating red/green LED flashes in
the unlikely event of memory failure
(need to re-TEACH sensor).

MINI-BEAM®®Expert ™™: Advanced features improve performance & make your job easier.
Remote programming for convenience and greater security.
Wherever they are mounted, one or more MINI-BEAM Expert sensors can
be easily wired to an external switch or PLC to enable remote programming
from a convenient location. Remote programming also assures greater
security for application settings because it can lock out the sealed
programming button, and there are no easily changed external switches.

Red, green or blue LED emitters.
The choice of a red, green, or blue LED light source in both
plastic and glass fiber optics, as well as convergent mode, gives
users the ideal sensing solution for maximum sensitivity to
any color, even low-contrast targets such as glass, or yellow ink
on a white background. This wide choice of models gives you
solutions to all your color mark applications.
Electrically protected.
The MINI-BEAM Expert withstands electrical problems
including reverse polarity, fast-transient and over-voltage.
It provides bipolar NPN and PNP (current sinking and
sourcing) outputs with a maximum rating of 150 mA (25°C)
to 100 mA (70°C).
Rugged and sealed.
MINI-BEAM Expert withstands difficult environments.
It’s yellow glass-filled polyester housing is rugged,
and its electronics are completely
encapsulated in epoxy. The
environmentally sealed programming
button eliminates leakage and
tamper-prone access covers and
adjustments. It is rated IEC IP67
and NEMA 6.

Prewired or QD wiring, 10 to 30V dc.
Users can choose 10 to 30V dc models with a 2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30')
attached, 5-conductor PVC potted-in cable, or a 5-pin Euro-style quickdisconnect connector for easy sensor installation and removal. Keyed
connectors prevent wiring errors.

WEB CUTOFF REGISTRATION
Objective: To detect a color mark printed on a continuous web
for accurate control of downstream cutoff.
Sensor: SME312CVB
Operation: MINI-BEAM Expert Model SME312CVB is a convergent
mode sensor with a blue light source that reliably detects
many difficult color mark contrasts, such as yellow against
off-white (shown here). The sensor is located near the
printing drum, where web “flutter” is not a factor. The
MINI-BEAM should be mounted at a “skew”angle of about
15 degrees from the perpendicular to shiny or clear webs in
order to avoid strong direct reflections of the sensing beam.
The MINI-BEAM Expert is available in fixed-wavelength
models with blue, green, or red light sources for handling
specific color contrasts.

WAFER CASSETTE PRESENCE
Objective: To sense the presence of wafer cassettes on a conveyor.
Sensor: SME312FP with PIT46U fibers and L2 lenses
Operation: Silicon wafers are transported in cassettes from one
location to another on a conveyor. Individual plastic
fiber optics are located on both sides of the conveyor
in the opposed sensing mode. L2 lenses are fitted onto
each fiber sensing tip to extend sensing range. The beam
is broken whenever a cassette is present.

The accessories you need for optimum sensor performance.
A complete selection of brackets
offers flexible, esthetic mounting options.
Having the right mounting options readily available will
assure optimum performance from your Banner sensors.
These attractively designed stainless steel and reinforced
thermoplastic polyester units also enhance the appearance
of your equipment and save you time and money through
reduced installation time and lower total installed cost.
Choose angled, through-hole brackets; split-clamp models
that mount to a flat surface; versatile swivel-mount models
that mount flat and have an adjustable ball to position the
sensor at any angle; and many more. Custom brackets
can also be designed for your unique applications. Request
the Banner Sensor Catalog (P/N 98000) or CD ROM
(P/N 98100) for available models.

Optical-quality retroreflectors.
Choose from a complete line of high-quality acrylic
targets, high-temperature targets and adhesive-backed
retro tapes (not shown). Numerous sizes, shapes and
mounting options meet your application requirements.
Standard reflectivity model BRT-3 is used to conservatively
rate the range of Banner retroreflective sensors, however
new high-reflectivity models dramatically increase the
sensing ranges with reflectivity factors up to 3. Maximum
temperature ratings range from 50°C (120°F) up to
480°C (900°). Various mounting options are available.
Request the Banner Sensor Catalog (P/N 98000) or
CD ROM (P/N 98100) for available models.

The broadest line of plastic & glass fibers.
Banner fiber optics allow you to “pipe” light into otherwise
inaccessible or hostile environments. Banner has the broadest, most
readily available line of fibers in the world. Choose from a huge
selection of standard fibers in virtually all shapes and sizes, or
custom fibers can easily be designed for your unique applications.
Choose from two general styles: individual fibers are used in pairs
in the opposed sensing mode; and bifurcated fibers that both emit
and receive light signals in one assembly. Banner plastic fibers
offer a uniquely affordable solution because they are inexpensive
and are easily cut to length during installation (a cutting device is
supplied with each fiber). Banner glass fibers withstand the most
hostile environments such as high temperatures up to 480°C
(900°F), corrosive materials, extreme moisture, high levels of
electrical noise, shock, and vibration. Request the Banner
Sensor Catalog (P/N 98000) or CD ROM (P/N
98100) for available models.
