Banner K100 Pro LED beacons

Turck has expanded its range of LED lights with the addition of the K100 series LED indicators. The 100 mm beacons were developed by Turck’s partner, Banner Engineering. They are available in two configurations.

The Pro Daylight Visible beacon model offers 12 audible options and features extra-bright indication in both indoor and outdoor environments. The model’s clear lens provides distinct indication, even in sunlight, avoiding false indications. It features three colour options (green, yellow and red) with multiple single- and dual-colour animations, and can be used for operator guidance, status indication and other functions.

The K100 Pro Indicator model has a diffused lens that appears white when inactive, thereby preventing false indication. It features 14 colour options that can be used for status and indication applications. Animations include options such as flash, intensity sweep and wave.

Both beacon models can include an optional audible alarm and have an IP66 environmental rating for dust, rain and snow.

The beacons are operated by discrete inputs. They are suitable for users who do not have IO-Link but who want the extra control and customisation capabilities to communicate information visually. Using Banner’s Pro Editor software, the user can program device status, audible signals, colours and animations.

The PC-based interface makes it easy to configure a beacon for a wide range of applications, such as displaying machine warm-up time, indicating unique steps in an assembly process and communicating multiple machine states.
