VLC100 Switching Automation Light Grid

Brand: SICK Canada

The VLC100 is a sensor based on innovative camera technology, developed for monitoring pallet overhang and edge detection. With just one component, the VLC100 is mounted in a corner of the monitored area in such a way that it is protected and saves space. One sensor covers a great variety of sensors for monitored areas. By combining two VLC100 devices, the monitored area can be expanded up to 4 m x 4 m. 

Reduction in costs as the one part to stock covers many applications. This makes it easy to install since only one part is needed, instead of a sender, receiver, and external controller box.
