Using only 8mm of space for the optics, the SLG is the slimmest automation light grid on the market. Designed to save space, it can be hidden inside machines, frames, doors, and anywhere else space and aesthetics are desired. In addition to its small size and simple configuration interface, the SLG is also the lowest cost solution for detecting an object as it moves through an area. |

Features
• Orientation options and flexible mounting system -- Slim version has light exiting the slim 8mm edge. Flat version has light exiting the wide side
• Aluminium housing accessory -- stand alone installations provide structural support offering even more mounting locations
• Onboard flush Teach button -- smartly designed, using a capacitive sensor to keep the housing simple and slick with no protruding buttons
• Detect small objects -- cross beam function can be enabled to increase resolution to 25mm
• Dependable detection –Advanced options work to keep the sensors reliable and available:
o Auto-muting: If a beam that was not intentionally muted during commissioning is continuously blocked due to damage or contamination, the sensor is smart enough to auto-mute that beam, trigger a contamination output alarm, and keep operating as usual until the damage or contamination is resolved. This ensures optimal system runtime yet indicates when service is required.
o Auto-Teach at power-up: Instead of setting up the sensors manually using the teach button or external teach, the sensors
Benefits
• Saves Space - Sleek and slender design can be embedded into machines to save space and create more work area, while out-of-the way installation can prevent intentional and accidental damages
• Fast Setup with integrated Alignment Aid -- uses onboard LEDs to indicate level of alignment
• Easy to Maintain – alignment aid ensures optimal gain levels and thus longer operational life, reducing maintenance and overall cost of operation
Applications
• Pallet jut-out or overhang detection on conveyer belts
• Part ejection detection in wood and metal fabrication
• Machine control in semiconductor and electronics industries
• Pick-to-Light picking stations for pick verification
• Door and Gate access control in factories, distribution centers, retail stores, etc
• Door control in subway, bus, and trains
