Example with “Cross beam measuring”
When the “Cross beam switching” function is used, a light grid with a beam separation
of 20 mm can detect a wide object with a thickness of 1 mm, but cannot output a
measured value for the height, for example. With the “Cross beam measuring” function,
it is also possible to output a measured value for the height.
