    Overview

    Powerful light grid for demanding object measurement tasks

    MLG-2 measuring automation light grids from SICK solve numerous applications in the logistics, packaging and automotive industries. The devices precisely determine the length, width and height of objects. Thanks to the modular sensor design and the broad product portfolio, the light grids are suitable for many different applications. For example, MLG-2 devices detect small cracks in battery foils and transparent materials or they measure material layers with the material teach function. Using industrial interfaces such as IO-Link, PROFINET, EtherCAT® or EtherNet/IP™, the beam data from the automation light grids can be transmitted to programmable logic controllers, which evaluate the data individually. The MLG-2 product also fulfills cybersecurity requirements.
