A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY Features

• Measuring light screen system for

profiling and inspection applications

• Compact control module and sensors
• Controller is programmable, using

DeviceNet configuration software and

supplied EDS files for:
–  8 measurement (“Scan Analysis”)

modes

– 4 scanning methods

– Beam blanking

–  Selectable continuous, gated or host-

controlled scan initiation

–  Programmable hysteresis for high and

low limits

• Two Discrete outputs
• Separate Gate input allows external

control of scan initiation, for example, by

a presence sensor

• Low cost, compared with similar systems
• Working range up to 17 m (55'),

depending on model

• Wide field of view, easily aligned
