SICK Sender/Receiver FLG4 Series

The FLG (frame light grid) switching automation light grid is the innovative solution in which the sender and receiver are combined in one housing for the detection of small parts. The complicated individual adjustment of sender and receiver is now longer necessary. In dynamic operating mode, the FLG performs reject and removal control of work pieces in pressing and punching machines and also supports the packaging process.

In static operating mode, it can be used for monitoring thread breakage. With a monitored area of 200 mm x 250 mm or 200 mm x 120 mm, it allows detection of small parts down to minimum dimensions of 2 mm over a large area.

Dynamic or static operating mode, switchable
Forked- or frame-shaped housing, easy alignment
Adjustable sensitivity
Adjustable pushbutton lock
Rugged metal housing
Adjustable pulse lengthening
Can be switched between Q and Qnot outputs
Very fast response time

Simple installation and alignment, as sender and receiver in one housing
The adjustable pushbutton lock protects against unwanted changes to parameters and manipulation during operation
Due to pulse stretching, the output signal is available longer on the control system
Also available as an open version for simple integration into your application environment
Large monitored area, therefore only one device required for monitoring small and large parts
Using the sensitivity adjustment, it is possible to hide falling chips and only recognize objects that are relevant to your detection
