The Banner MAE616Q is a robust and reliable emitter unit that forms one half of a two-piece photoelectric sensing system. Built with a sturdy aluminum housing and engineered for long-term durability, it is designed to deliver dependable performance in environments where precision object detection and rugged construction are critical. This model is ideal for applications requiring high-quality light curtain or area sensing functionality.

Measuring 231 mm in length, the MAE616Q is compact yet powerful, offering effective coverage in a range of industrial environments. It works in tandem with a compatible receiver to establish a two-piece opposed-beam sensing system, where the emitter projects light beams that are detected by the receiver. When an object interrupts these beams, the system signals detection, ensuring accurate and repeatable monitoring of moving parts, materials, or personnel.

The emitter features 19 mm beam spacing, which provides a balance between detection resolution and coverage. This spacing is particularly suited for medium-resolution applications where reliable detection of medium-to-large objects is required. With precise and evenly distributed beams, the MAE616Q ensures accurate monitoring across its active length, making it well-suited for tasks such as machine guarding, process verification, or material flow monitoring.

Constructed from rugged aluminum, the housing provides excellent protection against impact, vibration, and harsh industrial conditions. Aluminum not only enhances durability but also keeps the unit lightweight for ease of installation. Its robust design ensures that the emitter can withstand challenging factory environments, including those with mechanical stress or potential exposure to contaminants.

The MAE616Q operates on a 16–30 V dc supply, offering flexibility and compatibility with most standard industrial control systems. Its wide voltage tolerance allows it to integrate seamlessly into existing automation networks, ensuring consistent performance without requiring additional power conditioning.

As part of Banner’s trusted line of photoelectric safety and detection devices, the MAE616Q is designed for versatility. It is suitable for a variety of applications including machine safeguarding, conveyor monitoring, packaging systems, and general presence detection. When paired with the appropriate receiver, it delivers stable, long-range detection performance while ensuring system reliability and operator safety.

In summary, the Banner MAE616Q emitter combines rugged design, precise beam spacing, and reliable operation into a compact and durable package. With its 231 mm aluminum housing, 19 mm beam spacing, and 16–30 V dc power range, it provides long-term dependability in industrial applications that require accurate object detection or personnel monitoring. For engineers and automation specialists seeking a reliable emitter component for a two-piece sensing system, the MAE616Q offers an ideal balance of precision, durability, and ease of integration.
