Example applications Ejection control for small components Even when speed is required for large quantities – in dynamic mode, the FLG detects everything that falls through the grid: Metal parts at punching machines, parts ejected from conveyor systems, tablets in the primary packaging of pharmaceutical products or screw connections in bottling plants. It is important to isolate the parts beforehand, since the FLG can only detect one part at a time. In static operation, it can also be used to monitor thread or cable breaks. 8015080/2012-10-12 Subject to change without notice Wide range of...

Standard automation light grids Two in one: sender and receiver in one housing Product description The FLG (frame light grid) standard automation light grid is an innovative solution that combines sender and receiver in one housing to detect small parts. The individual adjustment of sender and receiver is no longer necessary. In dynamic operating mode, the FLG performs reject and removal control of work pieces in press and punch machines and also can be used in packaging applications. In static operating mode, it can be used to monitor thread continuity. With a monitored area of 250, 180 or...

Standard automation light grids Connection type and diagram Locking: After the last setting, the frame waits 15 minutes then locks the potentiometer. When the potentiometers are locked, the red LED flashes every time you turn any button. Unlocking: 1 To unlock the potentiometers, turn the mode button on the “Stat. NO” position. 2 Turn in less than 4 seconds, on the “Dyn. NO” position. The potentiometers are then unlocked and the settings are updated with the current position of the potentiometers. <4s Notice: If the mode button is already in the “Stat. NO” position, change mode previously...
