45MLA Measuring Light Arrays, 36 Beams, Housing Height [mm (in.)]: 920 (36.2), Sensing Height 1 [mm (in.)]: 900 (35.4), Beam Spacing [mm (in.)]: 25 (0.98)

Measuring and Discrete Light Arrays 45MLA and 45DLA • Detect oddly shaped or non-uniform objects • Detect targets with gaps or spaces • Large sensing area • Discrete (45DLA) and measurement (45MLA) models • Slim housing profiles • Sensing range: – 45MLA: 4 m – 45DLA: 1.5 m or 8 m, selectable via wiring • Light Array Concept • Traditional photoelectric transmitted beam sensors detect in a single line from the emitter to the receiver. • Light array sensors combine multiple emitter or receiver elements into a single housing to create a sensing field instead of a single sensing beam. • Therefore, light arrays are capable of detecting targets over a wider area. • This makes them ideal for detecting oddly shaped parts, products with gaps or spaces, or inconsistently positioned targets, at a fraction of the cost of using multiple sensor pairs.
