The opto-electronic light grids in small format of the AS1 series is a surface sensor with cross-beams of light, which are able to capture any object with thicknesses up to 0.2 mm, which is within monitoring range. The AS1 Area sensor is the ideal solution for tasks of the object detection, this also in the case of particularly small objects within the monitored height and width, in different positions. The light grid was developed in the following application areas for the requirements: automatic machines, packaging lines, funding lines, wood processing machines, glass processing machines, ceramic processing machines, automatic bearing.This text is machine translated.
