Automation light grids

Simply clever order picking verification
Using sensors for order picking has become standard in the automotive and logistics industries. Using the PLG automation light grid for order picking offers significant advantages over conventional, manual order picking technology.

Installation and commissioning that couldn't be easier with very high levels of performance
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 sturdy light grid for many standard applications
SICK offers the versatile ELG, an extremely tough switching automation light grid with different monitoring heights and beam separations. The ELG is not sensitive to glare caused by sunlight and flashing light.

For a wide range of detection and measuring tasks – light grid in very compact housing
The SLG-2 is an automation light grid for various detection and measuring tasks. It features two optics variants: One with frontal and one with side light emission. They allow for the narrow light grid housing to be integrated into almost any application.

Reliable detection with extremely thin design
The smart light grid product family includes smart area sensors, smart gate sensors and smart pick-to-light-sensor light grids. At only 8 mm x 25 mm, they fit nearly anywhere and can be embedded inside walls, doors, conveyors, and machines. Slim and flat versions are available.

The flexible and efficient detection system in one chain
The FlexChain is a flexibly configurable light grid thanks to the sequential connection of several sensors. There is no need for long connection cables or complex wiring.

Retro-reflective light grids for the detection of very fast and transparent objects
The WLG is a retro-reflective light grid with a 100 mm detection height and transmission 8 LEDs.

High-resolution and high-speed detection of the smallest objects
The high-resolution HLG light grid from SICK is the ideal solution for all applications where flat objects on a conveying system are to be reliably detected.

Highest precision for web width measurement
The MLG-2 WebChecker measuring automation light grid is based on established technology combined with the most advanced software and is used for high-precision web width measurement. The light grid also measures large web widths with revolutionary accuracy.

Flexible in use for length, width and height measurements
With the MLG-2 measuring automation light grid, SICK is offering the right solution for a wide range of applications in logistics and factory automation.
