The new geometric form in the light grid area
With its unique design, the VLC100 is a real head-turner.
Other unique selling points that differentiate it from its “colleagues” in the light
grid area are, for example, an integrated camera, an extremely fast response
time of 20 ms during switching, mini resolution of 6 mm at near range, and
sender and receiver in one device. Mounting, commissioning and the teach-in
procedure are impressively simple.

The VLC100 always ts. While conventional light grids are often
too short or too long when used in another application, the
VLC100 is adaptable and its eld of view and its geometry can
be modied as required between a minimum of 40 cm x 40 cm
and a maximum of 200 cm x 200 cm.
With the VLC100’s one-device concept, there is no need for
variants. In addition to the exibility of the eld of view, it is
also possible to synchronize two sensors with each other.
By doing that, the eld of view can be lengthened or a second
area around a corner can be activated.
The one-device concept is a real advantage to the customer
because of the low storage costs.
Typical applications
The standard automation light grid VLC100 was
developed rst and foremost to monitor protrusions
and for edge detection. As the replacement product
of the Optotrap (OTD), the VLC100 with its innova-
tive camera technology can easily replace the OTD
in the areas of application where it is used – and
with signicantly less effort required for mounting.
Fields of application
• Courier Express Parcel, Postal & Cargo
• Warehouse and Distribution
• Airport
• Wood
• Automotive
• Building Automation
• Beverage
Product description
The VLC100 is based on innovative
camera technology, developed for moni-
toring protrusions 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 synchronizing two VLC100, the
monitored area can be expanded up to
4 m x 4 m. Reduce costs due to one part
to stock that covers many applications.
This makes it easy to install since only
one part is needed, instead of a sender,
receiver, and third, controller box.
At a glance
• Sensing range up to 2.8 m
• Resolution 6 mm up to 18 mm
• One device only: integrated sender
and receiver
• Intuitive one-button operation
• Automatic alignment
• Synchronization of 2 systems
• Easy teach-in function
Your benets
• Flexible and individual design of
detection area
• Quick commissioning without ad-
ditional software
• Intuitive, time-saving operation
• No variants: one device concept for
all detection areas
• Reduced storage, shipping and com-
missioning costs
• No expert knowledge required
• High reliability and simple mainte-
nance
