Modular tower light … superior flexibility
Banner Engineering has introduced the EZ-LIGHT TL70 modular
tower light. Offering superior flexibility, theTL70 can be customised
as needed, and allows for easy position changes in the field.The big,
bright 70 mm tower features advanced LED drive technology, provid-
ing highly visible operator guidance and equipment status indication.
The tower light can display up to five colours − plus an audible
alarm module − in one tower, which allows for multiple
colours to be lit simultaneously.The loud 92 dB adjustable
alarm offers four user-selectable tones, including pulsed,
chirp, siren or continuous. For optimal performance, each
light segment can be selected solid ON or flashing, and
appears grey when off to eliminate false indication from
ambient light.
“Our newTL70 modular tower light is one of the most
versatile indicator lights for industrial environments,” said
Chuck Dolezalek, Director of Engineering for Lighting at
Banner Engineering. “With the ability to fully customise
the indicator light with multiple colours, sounds and con-
figurations, in addition to quickly changing positions in the
field, theTL70 is ideal for a wide range of applications.”
Banner’sTL70 modular tower light is available as modu-
lar segments, allowing users to build a custom device. For
user-friendly installation, the TL70 is up and running in
just three easy steps, which include assigning the module
settings, assembling the device and applying power.The
TL70 is also available as a preassembled configuration.
For use in harsh environments, theTL70 modular tower
light features rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV
stabilised material. Housing is available in black or grey,
which allows users tomatch the device to their application.

Belt rip and tear detection for conveyors
Conveyor belts are used where materials need to be transported from A to B, e.g. in mining, cement, sand
and gravel industries. A conveyor belt may get damaged by sharp-edged stones or materials; or become
worn out during operation. Such damage must be detected and the conveyor belt deactivated.
The new belt rip and tear detection system from ifm electronic is used to reliably detect belt damage.
