Wenglor MLSL1xxS50 laser triangulation sensor

Precisely bent sheets are required in a wide range of applications, for example in the automotive industry and shipbuilding. The Wenglor MLSL1xxS50 uses laser triangulation to measure metal parts precisely to help achieve consistent pressing results. The device is mounted on the press brake and detects all surfaces and provides relevant angle information.

Seamlessly integrated into the software of standard control system manufacturers, the sensor can be connected easily via plug-and-play and put into operation and adjusted directly.

The sensor’s optical angle measurement is aimed directly at the sheet metal and can therefore be used for all combinations of upper tools. Continuous monitoring of the angles helps determine exact bending angles, regardless of production-related influencing factors.

The product offers consistent results for different batches of sheet metal production, different materials, different bending directions to the rolling direction and slightly fluctuating sheet thicknesses. Through direct integration into the control system, predefined parameters determine the specifications of the bending process, which can be readjusted immediately.

The sensors can monitor various work steps and bending operations along the press. With long components in particular, the angle can be checked over the entire length.
