High-resolution light grid BLA
17 April 2014
New from Balluff is high-resolution light grid for optical object detection with a width of 50mm and a range of up to 2m. Consisting of a transmitter with a high-performance redlight laser and a receiver, the device works completely self-sufficiently, without additional accessories such as PC or special software. All settings can be made via a display in the receiver.
The high resolution of 0.01mm opens up many application possibilities. Evaluated are not only the light quantity of the especially homogeneous red laser light, but also the location and position within the light grid. In addition, the emitter and receiver are encased in a rugged industrial housing and can be easily and quickly aligned using the live graphic display on the integrated multi-function display.
The user can teach-in up to six different objects using the buttons and can hide obstructions in the measuring field (blanking).
