MLG-2

Flexible for length, width and height measurement
SICK's measuring encoder for automation, the MLG-2, offers the right solution for a wide range of applications in the field of logistics and factory automation. the MLG-2 can be used for conveyor belts, automated storage and retrieval systems, order processing, and for the monitoring of logistic processes in many other areas.In pallet measurement, for example, the encoder determines the maximum height and reach simultaneously.The modular construction of the sensor allows the customer to choose between different monitoring heights and beam intervals.Simple configuration and diagnostics are realized via the at-a-glance display.Optical synchronization eliminates the need for wiring between transmitter and receiver.SICK also offers a wide range of different designs and interfaces.

The MLG-2 is capable of reliably determining the length, width and height of objects.Based on a modular sensor structure and a broad product portfolio, a wide range of application tasks can be solved reliably.

MLG-2 Prime

MLG-2 Prime for Standard Applications
The MLG-2 Prime is suitable for all standard applications such as protrusion monitoring, object height and width measurement.The connection to the controller is established via push-pull switching outputs or analog outputs.Data can be output directly via the IO-Link interface and the associated function blocks.The new function "Object Re-recognition" saves you time and resources and the MLG-2 Prime can be pre-configured prior to shipment.

The MLG-2 Prime solves standard application tasks with high measurement accuracy and is quick and easy to configure.

MLG-2 Pro

MLG-2 Pro for demanding applications
The MLG-2 Pro encoder can be used to detect transparent objects and high-speed moving objects in demanding applications.With functions such as "Transparency Mode", "High Speed Scanning" or "High Measurement Accuracy", the MLG-2 Pro can perform challenging measurement tasks with high precision.The pre-installed solution in the SOPAS configuration software makes parameterization easy, even for very complex applications.The MLG-2 Pro has a universal industrial interface - which means that individual solutions can also be programmed via the controller.

The "High Speed Scan" function reduces response time for reliable detection of objects moving at high speeds.

The "Sunlight and Dust Mode" allows the MLG-2 to operate undisturbed in harsh environments.

The "Transparent Mode" function enables reliable detection and measurement of transparent materials.

The MLG-2 Pro can perform complex tasks in demanding environments.The encoder is immune to ambient light and dust and has multiple modes of operation, making it ideal for your task.

MLG-2 ProNet

MLG-2 ProNet: easy integration
If the automation of a plant or machine increases, so do the wiring costs - and so do the planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance costs.Not so with SICK's MLG-2 ProNet.It offers all the advantages of a measurement automation encoder with integrated interfaces such as PROFINET, EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IPTM, CANopen and PROFIBUS.Suitable function blocks make commissioning quick and easy.The solution is pre-installed in the SOPAS configuration software.This means that even complex applications such as object width measurement can be easily parameterized.Automatic format conversion via fieldbus is also possible.

Easy parameterization with SOPAS

PROFINET, EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IPTM, CANopen, and PROFIBUS

The MLG-2 ProNet has been ideally configured for your interfaces: the commissioning effort can be reduced by means of suitable function blocks.
