Light grids detect and measure transparent, small and fast-moving objects even under harsh conditions

MLG-2 automation light grids detect and measure transparent, small and fast-moving objects even under harsh conditions. A beam spacing of 5 mm ensures thin objects are detected, while a Transparent Mode function provides measurement, location tracking and hole tracking on transparent materials. The Prime variant features two analog outputs, as many as three switching outputs and optical synchronization. The more advanced Pro includes transparent, high-speed and high-resolution modes; wired synchronization; IO-Link 1.1; and troubleshooting via Sopas software.
