HLG Light Grid Sensors

SICK has introduced its family of HLG Light Grid Sensors. With high resolution and fast switching speeds, the HLG sensors are suitable for part counting and leading-edge detection on a conveyor.

The HLG units offer a higher resolution than SICK's existing ELG Light Grids, resulting in a much smaller minimum detectable object (MDO) size of 2 mm. The HLG Light Grids are through-beam style switching light grids. They provide a fast and reliable switching output any time one of the beams is blocked.

The new HLG grid is self-sufficient and has no external controller box. All processing is done internally to the light grid, resulting in a fast response time and low cost. The HLG's rugged aluminum housing can withstand punishing industrial environments, while the cable synchronization of the HLG provides quick and easy setup.

The teach-in automatic sensitivity adjustment also allows for detection of translucent objects and wrappings for more precise detection.
