Banner's new WLF12 Pro enables users to install strip lights on curved surfaces or anywhere a slim, low-profile indicator light is needed on industrial equipment.
Machine status is easily communicated to people working nearby due to the light's multicolor capabilities and advanced animations. When combined with the LC25 LED Controller, the WLF12 Pro is operated via common industrial methods including discrete I/O and IO-Link. Installation time is minimized by mounting the lights via the high strength adhesive backing or optional brackets. The WLF12 Pro also adapts to a wide range of applications by cutting it to more ideal lengths.
Key Features & Benefits
- 19 colors and 15 animation effects visually communicate machine states to nearby staff
- Available LC25 LED Controller enables simple discrete I/O or IO-Link operation and no-code configuration
- Quick, secure installation using high-strength adhesive backing
- Plug-and-play M12 connections simplify installation by eliminating soldering
- Five standard lengths (300 mm to 2000 mm) can be cut in 50 mm increments to fit exact application specifications
- Durable, silicone-encapsulated housing ensures long operational life
Unboxing the WLF12 Pro
Product Manager Jason Friedrichs explains all you need to know about the WLF12 Pro Flexible Multicolor Strip Light. He also demonstrates the colors and capabilities possible when paired with the optional LC25 LED Controller.
Flexible, Silicone-Encapsulated Housing
Durability and longevity are enhanced by the silicone encapsulation found on the WLF12 Pro. This feature protects the light while maintaining the flexible design, and enables the light to achieve IP66, IP67, and IP69K ratings.
Plug-and-Play Electrical Connections
Unlike other flexible strip lights on the market, there is no need to spend time soldering wires to connect the light into a system. The WLF12 Pro simplifies the installation process by leveraging robust, plug-and-play, industry standard M12 connectors.
Visual Factory
The WLF12 Pro can communicate a variety of machine states to people working on or near equipment by controlling both the color and animation of the LEDs. The RGB LEDs may be configured to show 1 of 19 available colors and animation effects including flash, scroll, intensity sweep, and single-end flash, along with many more. Most industrial users will choose to add the LC25 LED Controller for operation via discrete I/O or IO-Link. When discrete I/O is used, Banner’s free and easy-to-use Pro Editor software is used to configure the colors and animations. IO-Link models allow for dynamic control—reacting to commands from an IO-Link Master—and have additional capabilities that discrete units do not. The WLF12 is also compatible with ARDUINO® and Raspberry Pi devices.
5 Standard Lengths That Can Be Cut to Fit
Whether bending around the corner of an AGV or being installed along the aluminum extrusion on a packaging machine, the WLF12 Pro is available in five standard housing lengths ranging from 300 mm to 2000 mm, letting it adapt to many applications. The WLF12 Pro can even be cut to custom lengths in 50 mm increments to more closely fit application requirements.
Peel-and-Stick Installation
Users can mount the WLF12 Pro quickly and securely by using the high strength adhesive backing on the light. If mechanical attachment is needed, Banner offers translucent mounting straps that can be easily added.
Applications
The WLF12 Pro Flexible Multicolor Strip Light is designed for integrated machine indication, mobile equipment like AGVs, and for visual operator guidance in picking, putting, assembly, and fulfillment applications.
