Laser sensors detect minute deviations

Designed for applications that require precision through-beam sensing, the Laser BGL combines unparalleled sensing precision with unmatched ease of use.

Designed for applications that require precision through-beam sensing, Balluff's new Laser BGL combines unparalleled sensing precision with unmatched ease of use.

An addition to its popular BGL line, Balluff's new Laser BGL through beam fork sensor is a vast improvement over conventional fibre optic and laser sensors.

One-piece "plug and play" BGL sensors feature pre-aligned optics integrated into a family of metal fork-style bodies, allowing fast, accurate installation without the need for special brackets or complex beam alignment procedures.

Balluff's Laser BGL uses a safe Class 2 Laser producing precision resolution down to 0.03mm.

The new laser sensors are available in 30, 50, 80 and 120mm sizes.

"The new Balluff Laser BGLs allow a level of precision and ease of installation that is a quantum leap over standard fibre-optic technology".

"First of all, BGLs are always in alignment, so they are a breeze to install", comments Balluff Product Manager, Adrian Sorsby.

"Not only that, they are accurate over the entire length of their beams, which means they can detect minute deviations over the entire area of a product being manufactured".

"Finally, their accuracy does not change whether you use a 30 or a 120mm sized BGL".
