Light grid systems
The flexible and efficient detection system in one chain
FlexChain offers you a flexibly expandable light grid – with up to 60 cascading sensors. Whether it be a photoelectric proximity sensor, through-beam photoelectric sensor or photoelectric retro-reflective sensor: different sensor technologies can be combined and freely arranged. The sequential cycling provides maximum measurement certainty, while diagnostic functions ensure stable processes.

MLG-2
For stringent requirements
Measurement light grids are ideal for complex applications because the beams are evaluated individually and detailed measurement data forwarded to a PLC. Being modular in design, different detection heights and beam separations can be selected. Application: on conveyor belts, automated storage and retrieval systems or for order processing.

Safety light curtains
Safety and automation combined
Safety light curtains provide your systems with reliable productivity as well as a high degree of flexibility and automation Take advantage of our many powerful products for a wide range of applications — up to the highest level of safety To make sure your processes run smoothly

Web edge measurement
Maximum precision when determining web widths
The tried-and-proven light grid technology combined with state-of-the-art software in the MLG-2 ensure maximum accuracy and a reliable data basis for web width measurement. Even particularly fast moving or transparent objects can be reliably detected thanks to the diverse functionality provided.

Automation light grids
The comprehensive portfolio for two-dimensional monitoring
Whether large or small, fast or slow, shiny, transparent or dark – SICK offers a broad portfolio of high-performance light grids for the reliable detection and measurement of objects, persons, and vehicles and for presence and protrusion monitoring. With numerous designs and performance variants to choose from, our light grids offer the ideal solution for a wide variety of applications.
