What is Automation Light Grids Market?
Light grids utilize optical transmitter and receiver units. Infrared light beams are sent to the receiver from the transmitter. Automation light grids offer solutions to applications from simple to complex and exist in many forms. Every sensor manufacturer offers a light grid with sizes ranging from small to large, and with resolutions from fine to coarse. It consists of only one, two, three, or four light beams. The light grid can be chosen based on various parameters such as size, resolutions, and operating range.
