SICK, Inc: Light grid sensors

A new family of HLG light grid sensors from Sick offers high resolution and fast switching speeds, making it suitable for part counting and leading-edge detection on a conveyor.

May 13, 2008

The high resolution results in a minimum detectable object size of just 2 mm. HLG light grids are through-beam style switching light grids, providing a fast and reliable switching output any time one of the beams is blocked. Features of the self-sufficient HLG include no external controller box, rugged aluminum housing, cable synchronization for quick and easy setup, and teach-in automatic sensitivity adjustment for detection of translucent objects and wrappings.
