Balluff high-resolution light grid

Wednesday, 09 April, 2014 | Supplied by: Balluff Pty Ltd


Balluff has developed a high-resolution light grid for optical object detection with a width of 50 mm and a range of up to 2 m.

Comprising a transmitter with a redlight laser and a receiver, the device is self-sufficient, working without additional accessories such as PC or special software. All settings can be made via a display in the receiver.

The device evaluates not only the light quantity of the 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 aligned using the live graphic display on the integrated multifunction display.

Users can teach-in up to six different objects using the buttons and can hide obstructions in the measuring field (blanking). In this way, different objects can reliably detected, compared and sorted based on minimal differences in size, the company says.

Other applications include presence and height checks. The result of the inspection is available at two analog and three digital outputs.
