Measuring light grid MLG-2 series

single-beamthrough-beam

Powerful light grid for demanding object measurements MLG-2 measuring automation light grids from SICK solve numerous applications in the logistics, packaging and automotive industries. The devices precisely determine the length, width and height of objects. Thanks to the modular sensor design and the broad product portfolio, the light grids are suitable for many different applications. For example, MLG-2 devices detect small cracks in battery foils and transparent materials or they measure material layers with the material teach function. Using industrial interfaces such as IO-Link, PROFINET, EtherCAT® or EtherNet/IP™, the beam data from the automation light grids can be transmitted to programmable logic controllers, which evaluate the data individually. The MLG-2 product also fulfills cybersecurity requirements. Benefits Electronic yardstick for length, width and height measurement as well as reliable detection of many different materials High measurement accuracy for detecting even very small objects reliably Quality assurance with the material teach function for measuring the layer count, e.g. for toilet paper Reliable detection and measurement of transparent objects High-speed scan function for reliable detection at high object speeds More security through compliance with cybersecurity standards Simple commissioning thanks to integrated Ethernet interfaces and suitable function blocks Features Beam separation: 2.5 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm Sensing range: 20 m (in transparent mode: 4 m) Measuring field heights: 140 mm to 3,140 mm Interfaces: Analog, RS-485, IO-Link, PROFINET, EtherCAT®, etc.
