MLG-2 Automation Light Grids
Sick announces the launch of the MLG-2 automation light grids. The speed, resolution, and optical features of the MLG-2 enable it to detect and measure transparent, small, and fast-moving objects even under harsh conditions.
A small beam spacing of just 5 mm ensures the thinnest objects are detected while a new “Transparent Mode” function provides measurement, location tracking, and hole tracking on transparent materials. A durable aluminum housing with an enclosure rating of up to IP67 makes the MLG-2 resistant to glare and ambient light.
In addition, commissioning can be easily completed using the intuitive display or SICK’s SOPAS software tool.
Available in two variants—Prime and Pro—the MLG-2 provides a durable, functional, and high-quality solution for the most demanding detection tasks.
The MLG-2 Prime features two analog outputs, up to three switching outputs, and optical synchronization.
The MLG-2 Pro—a more advanced variant—includes transparent, high-speed, and high-resolution modes, wired synchronization, IO-Link 1.1, and troubleshooting via SOPAS software.
The MLG-2, which includes the IO-Link interface, is designed for high-resolution and high-speed measurement applications in the logistics, traffic, robotics, machine building, and food and beverage industries. Its advanced application capabilities also make it ideal for dusty, dirty, or outdoor environments.
