ProSense FLG Series Detection Light Grids

The new ProSense FLG series light grids offer an object detection solution with enhanced usability and performance. They are housed in IP67-rated aluminum for operation in industrial environments. When it comes to deployment, the detection solution is simple to set up for a range of applications, as it requires no programming. To further simplify installation, the light grids feature standard mounting brackets, reducing the cost of buying separate hardware.

The FLG series light grids are equipped with discrete complementary outputs and can be integrated into various control systems. The solution has a detection range of 0.1 to 10 m and a detection height of 220 mm to 1580 mm, offering flexibility for use and placement in different workflows. This, together with full height detection with no dead zones, ensures nothing gets past the light grids unnoticed.

The ProSense FLG light grids meet essential safety and environmental regulations: they are UL listed, CE marked, and RoHS compliant.
