Product description:

The MLG-2 WebChecker measuring automation light grid is based on established technology combined with the most advanced software and is used for high-precision web width measurement. The light grid also measures large web widths with revolutionary accuracy. The MLG-2 WebChecker can find up to 10 edges or 5 webs and measure them continuously. With semi-transparent objects, the light grid measures also up to 10 edges defined by the customer. Thanks to its modular design, the MLG-2 WebChecker is well-suited for various monitored areas, interfaces and sensing ranges. Measuring fields of a minimum of 150 mm x 200 mm up to maximum of 2,500 mm x 3,150 mm can be implemented. This makes it easy for end customers to change the format. MLG-2 transmits all measurement data over PROFINET to the PLC.
