Light Grids
Category Selection
Industrial light grids, also known as measuring light curtains, light barriers or area sensors, are optoelectronic sensors used in industrial automation for a variety of applications. Unlike safety light grids, which focus on protecting personnel from hazardous machinery, industrial light grids focus on object detection, measurement, and control. These non-contact sensors have high accuracy, a fast response time, and are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. Typical applications include:
- Part detection and counting
- Product dimensioning and profiling
- Material flow control
- Machine control and automation
- Presence detection
- Stack height measurement
- Object counting and sorting
- Pallet detection

Detection Light Grids
Detection light grids are perfect for sensing objects at random positions as they pass through the target area, with simple NO/NC selectable discrete outputs. Multi-beam photoeye arrays detect presence anywhere within the controlled height of the sensor array. (Not for use as safety light curtains)
- MicroDetectors and ReeR brands
- Operating distance up to 10m
- Adjustable sensitivity
- Detection heights up to 740mm
- Up to 30mm beam resolution (pitch) options
- Rugged aluminum or thermoplastic housings
Measuring Light Grids
Measuring light grids detect and measure various sized and shaped objects as they pass through the target area. With discrete and analog outputs, they can sense presence and measure object height anywhere within the controlled height of the sensor array. (Not for use as safety light curtains)
- MicroDetectors and ReeR brands
- Operating distance up to 10m
- Adjustable sensitivity
- Detection heights up to 1490mm
- Up to 30mm beam resolution (pitch) options
- Rugged aluminum or thermoplastic housings
