Automation light grids 

High-end light grids are ideal for more complex applications. They come in several different beam spacing options, a range of detection heights and output configurations. These light grids can be used for material handling on conveyors, automated storage and retrieval system applications, order fulfilment, and more.

The smart light grid family includes smart area sensors, smart gate sensors and smart pick-to-light sensors. At only 8 x 25 mm, they fit nearly anywhere and can be imbedded inside walls, doors, conveyors, and machines. They are available in slim (light exit from the narrow side) and flat (light exit from the wide side) versions.

Standard automation light grids from SICK can be used in a number of solutions, such as detecting and counting of irregularly shaped objects, checking for presence and protrusions of pallet loads. Light grids from SICK offer multiple ranges, heights, sizes, orientations, and resolutions.
