Measuring light curtain EZ-Array

multibeamthrough-beamwith integrated controller

Overview
EZ-Array measuring light curtains provide high-speed, precise process monitoring, profiling and web-guiding with straightforward installation. The receiver integrates controller functions, enabling basic setup without a separate controller, dedicated software or PC. Models are available with IO-Link, Modbus RTU and RS-485 communications.

Key features

• Interfaces: IO-Link, Modbus RTU, RS-485
• Controller integrated in receiver to reduce system complexity
• 14 measurement modes and 3 scanning methods for flexible configuration
• Two analog outputs and two discrete outputs plus serial output options
• Closely spaced infrared beams detect objects down to 5 mm; edge resolution 2.5 mm
• High excess gain for reliable detection of opaque materials
• Simple installation and setup; available in different communication configurations

Applications

• Edge and center guiding (web guiding)
