Measuring light grid

08 April 2014

According to Pepperl+Fuchs, the days of complex single-beam evaluations for standard tasks and cumbersome configuration are over thanks to its new LGM Series measuring light grid.

"What makes this product stand head and shoulders above other measuring light grids on the market are the 16 predefined measuring options that are integrated into the unit," says Carsten Roth, product manager. "Users can select the optimum mode for their application from the evaluation methods and receive direct measured values in millimetres, such as the object height, lowest or highest object position, sum, average, etc."

The values are digitally transmitted at extremely fast cycle times, even with beam crossover activated, using IO-Link, which enables convenient commissioning and maintenance from the control level. Parameterisation and configuration are completed via a PC—no external programmer, no additional software.

The LGM light grids have an ultra-low profile to fit into tight spaces. Innovative, tool-free mounting accessories make installation, alignment, and replacement fast and easy. The IP67 aluminum housing withstands harsh environmental conditions even at cold-storage temperatures.
