The system consists of a red-light laser transmitter and a receiver in rugged housings. It can operate autonomously, without needing a PC or special software. All settings are made via a multifunction display built into the receiver, and users can teach-in up to six different objects as well as hiding obstructions in the measuring field (blanking).
The system evaluates not only the brightness of the received laser beams, but also an object’s location and position within the light grid. The emitter and receiver can be aligned easily and quickly using the built-in graphic display.
Inspection results are available via two analogue and three digital outputs. From May 2014, there will also be a variant with an IO-Link interface.
