Balluff

 
  With more than 40 years of experience in the field of sensor technology, Balluff is today one of the most capable manufacturers of electronic and electromechanical sensors, rotary and linear transducers as well as identification systems. Innovative technology, state-of-the-art electronics and application-specific customer solutions are the hallmarks of the entire product range.

Balluff inductive sensors are used for controlling, regulating, automating, positioning and monitoring of work processes. They are rugged sensors which detect the presence of a metal part.

They operate without contact and have an electronic output, i.e. they are wear-free. Applications include machine tools, plastics machinery, textile machines, assembly lines, in the automobile industry, in wood processing machinery, in other words everywhere processes need to be automated.

The wide-ranging optosensor line from Balluff finds applications in all areas of automation. Every series has its main strength and is an outstanding specialist in its area of application.

Along with tubular housings from M12 to M30, in both metal and plastic, Balluff also offers a range of sensors in rigid, block-shaped plastic housings in nearly all sizes with various functions and performance characteristics. Along with the classic diffuse, retro-reflective and through-beam -beam types, the Balluff opto line also offers special functions and versions.

Analog Sensors BAW have a linear voltage or current output signal which changes in proportion to target distance from the damping surface. The curve is linear over the entire working range SI.

Balluff Micropulse transducers in the Profile housing, with their mechanical design, the high protection rating, and their ease of installation, are an alternative to linear transducers such as potentiometers, glass scales, and LVDTs. The linear sensing element is protected in an aluminum extrusion. The measuring point along the sensing element (waveguide) is indicated by a passive marker (magnet), which needs no power.

Balluff identification systems are indispensible tools for managing the flood of information in today's assembly operations. The right data at the right time at the right place: These demands are met by integrating the BIS system, as each material flow object.

The code tag stores all the information about the object, ready for reading or updating at any point in the process. Whether you're talking about complex assembly instructions, complete test records, or just a 4-digit identification number: you will find the most economical and efficient solution from among the broad range of BIS identification systems.

Electromechanical sensors include electromechanical limit switches as well as rotary cam switches with electromechanical and/or inductive switch elements. They serve as non-contact command givers with automatic controls for positioning and limit switching on machine tools, flexible manufacturing equipment, robots, assembly and conveying equipment, in the automobile industry, as well as general machinery and equipment applications.

They have been designed and proven for use under extreme conditions such as shock, aggressive media like cutting and lubricating fluids, as well as temperature fluctuation.

Magnetic field sensors respond to an external magnetic field. They are used primarily to sense piston positioning in pneumatic cylinders. Housing materials are polyamide, PBTP reinforced fiberglass or aluminum, depending on the sensor selected. Mounting clamps are also available for attaching to virtually any cylinder size and type!

Capacitive sensors detect the change in capacitance of an object when it enters the sensor's electrical field. This means a capacitive sensor can detect not only metal, but even non-conductors whose dielectric constants are sufficiently large. Properly selected, a capacitive sensor is also able to "see through" certain non-metallic materials.

This makes it the classical level detector, sensing the presence of absence of liquids or granular material through the container wall. Balluff also offers the appropriate cover nuts which, once installed in the container, allow the capacitive sensor to be mounted and later replaced if necessary without unsealing the vessel.

The use of remote systems is a proven solution wherever hardwired sensors cannot be used, such as on indexing tables and interchangeable stamping heads. The sensors participate in the motion of the machine components to which they are attached. The sensors are wired to the transmitter.

The transmitter however is only inductively coupled to the output sensor. The transmitter sends the output signals from the connected sensors to the output sensor. The energy required to power the sensors is inductively coupled from the output sensor to the transmitter. The latter in turn supplies the connected sensors with operating voltage.
