The photoelectric light grids of the AS1 series are crossed-beam area sensors able to detect all objects, with even 0.5 mm dimensions, inside a 100 mm height, over operating distances reaching 2.1 m between emitter and receiver.
The AS1 area sensors represent the ideal solution for the detection of very small objects, even when passing in different positions inside the controlled height and width.
Thanks to the short response time, the ultra-compact AS1 light grids suit fast conveyor lines, such as feeding and downloading lines, for the detection and counting of objects in random positions.

The AREAscanTM light grids of the DS1 series are photoelectric multibeam devices suitable for detection, measurement and counting of objects with different shapes and dimensions. Models with 100, 150 or 300 mm controlled height, 4 or 7 mm minimum resolution and 150 - 850 mm or 800 - 2100 mm operating distance, are available. The electronics is completely integrated inside the grids and so no external control is necessary. Moreover the receiving and emitting units are synchronised via cable, guaranteeing the best immunity against electromagnetic and optic disturbances. All models have an analogue output, the digital switching output and LEDs signalling the operating status and autodiagnostics of the device. The electrical connection is obtained through standard M12 5-pole connectors for the receiver and M12 4-pole connectors for the emitter.
The ultra-thin profile (20 x 40 mm), together with the IP65 mechanical protection, easy use and installation, extremely short response time and excellent performances make the AREAscanTM light grids of the DS1 series particularly suitable to the many different applications of industrial automation.

The AREAscanTM family of the DS2 series covers controlled heights ranging from 15 to 250 cm, with 5 m operating distances for 6 mm resolution versions, or 10 m for 25 mm resolution versions.
The measurement configuration can be set manually thanks to internal dip-switches, or using graphic interface from remote PC on the serial port. Once loaded the program on the flash memory, the device functions in the stand-alone mode.
The serial interface transmits the measurement in a binary or ASCII code, the operating status control as well as the setting of the different baud-rate versions.
The DS2 light arrays suits different height or dimensional measurement applications in general, in automatic material handling.

The AREAscanTM light grids of the DS3 series are optoelectronic multibeam devices that can be used to detect, measure and control the position of objects, also transparent and small. Models with 150, 300, 450 or 600 mm detection field height are available, as well as presenting 0.2 - 0.6 m or 0.6 - 1.5 m operating distances.
Internal dip-switches for configuration are available on all models, together with the Teach-in setting button with Remote and self-calibration function, LED indicators for the signalling of the device operating and auto-diagnostic status.
The synchronisation via cable of the emitter and receiver units guarantees high optic and electromagnetic interference immunity. The integrated electronics eliminates the need for an external control unit.
The compact dimensions (35 x 40 mm), easy installation and excellent performances make the AREAscanTM light grids particularly suitable to the many different applications of automatic packaging and industrial automation in general.

Built in a 50 x 50 mm standard compact housing, the S65-Z series offers a retroreflex line sensor for accurate measurements of the centre or edge position and width of objects. This series results to be particular suitable for a wide range of industrial automation applications, such as packaging, printing assembling on automatic machines. The detection is made on a reflecting tape, supplied with the sensor, positioned behind the object, with a 150 mm maximum measurement field width and a 200 mm operating distance.
The 4-20 mA analogue output is proportional to the measurement, while the digital output, PNP or NPN according to the model, is activated when the measured value is included inside the interval fixed by the operator via teach-in. An alarm signal is activated when the luminous intensity received is weak, as for example in presence of dirty lenses.
The setting is accomplished through three push-buttons present on the control panel, together with the output status LED, two LEDs signalling the operating mode, an alarm LED and a 4-digit display for the visualisation of the measurement and sensor configuration messages.
Models with the RS485 serial interface offer the remote setting of all the programmable functions as well as the transmission of the measurements to an industrial PC are available. The electrical connection is made through a standard M12 8-pole connector.
