The A-Gage High-Resolution Mini-Array measuring light screen is ideal for applications such as on-the-fly product sizing and profilling, edge-guiding and center-guiding, loop tensioning control, hole detection, parts counting and similar uses.
A typical A-Gage High-Resolution Mini-Array System has five components: a high-resolution emitter/receiver pair, each with quick-disconnect (QD) connectors; one of four compact control modules; and quick-disconnect cables to connect them. Software is included to interface any PC-compatible computer (running Windows XP, Vista, or 7) with the control module for System configuration. A host computer or PLC may be used to control and/or receive input for the System.
