Function

The LGS automation light grid series detects objects ranging in size from small to large. The very slender light grids have a modular design and come in different beam spacings and field heights. All signal evaluation takes place inside the unit. The lightweight systems can be integrated in their surroundings in a well-designed configuration, which means that machines and plants in temperature ranges between -30 °C ... +60 °C can be designed more compactly.
