GARMO GarLine PLC is a new seam tracking laser sensor for automated welding.

The innovative seam tracking laser sensor with integrated software, offers a set of unique capabilities to simplify operability, improve weld quality while increasing performance in welding processes. GARMO GarLine PLC is specially designed for the most adverse working environments and reliably copes with smoke, humidity, corrosion or welding spatter. The sensor is resistant to magnetic fields, and its outer housing resists shock and hard impacts. Likewise, direct connection to the PLC, without the need for an additional computer or other equipment, is possible. The sensor offers seam tracking, seam finding and a wide range of configuration options. The sensor has a customizable zigzag weld setting and offers integration examples that include HMI and communication libraries. The sensor can be easily installed on both new and existing welding machines. In addition, the use of a single standard cable (for power and data) simplifies sensor installation and provides universal connectivity. The sensor is designed to be easily attached to the mounting plate. The sensor comes with several quick-release, one-way protective windows on the inside of the front.
