On the basis of the digital factory, the smart factory uses the Internet of Things technology and equipment monitoring technology to strengthen information management and services, which can clearly grasp the production and marketing process, improve the controllability of the production process, reduce manual intervention on the production line, collect production line data instantly and correctly, and build a high-efficiency and energy-saving humanized factory.
Smart factory is a new stage in the development of modern factory informatization, and its production lines are complex and diverse, which puts forward higher requirements for flexibility. Smart factories require continuous and flexible monitoring of production processes, which is extremely important. As production needs continue to change, how do you find a balance between production efficiency and product quality? How can you achieve reliable identification and ensure the smooth running of the production process?
How do magnetic sensors from Balluff achieve reliable and non-contact detection? ✦
Thanks to their speed, precision and flexibility, magnetic sensors from Balluff play an important role in compact, precise grippers, fast press and gripper changes with non-contact position detection. The sensor is reliable and non-contact, wear-free, so that switching points can be clearly detected. The piston position is reliably recognized, even at high speeds.
Magnetic direct sensors for a wide range of forks
Magnetic sensors from Balluff with flexible fixation system are suitable for all groove shapes, such as T-slots, C-slots, round slots, and trapezoidal slots. They rely on special mounting brackets to match almost all cylinder models from different manufacturers. As a result, you always have a reliable choice of magnetic sensors when it comes to position recognition of grippers and pneumatic cylinders.
The switching point only needs to be calibrated once and remains unchanged even when the sensor is replaced. In this way, you increase the functional reliability of your equipment. Even in hard-to-reach locations, the change operation is easy and safe. In addition, with universal sensor models from Balluff, you can save storage space and reduce costs.
peculiarity
1One sensor for all pneumatic cylinders
2. Reliable switching performance, keep the same switching point
3. Non-contact, no wear
4. Firm fixation through metal fasteners
Magnetic sensor with adjustable switching point
BMF magnetic sensor with adjustable switching point for C- and T-slots, allowing you to quickly integrate pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder drives into the machine control system. Magnetic sensors with fixed switching points must be manually placed at the desired switching point and fixed in that position, and in the case of these sensors, the sensor needs to be placed in the approximate position.
In short, two different switching points can be set on the same cylinder. With the IO-Link version, up to 8 switching points can even be defined and recalled within the sensor's operating range. As a result, up to 8 different target sizes can be detected in one fixture, eliminating the need for multiple conventional sensors. This will make your production process more convenient, flexible and less costly.
peculiarity
1 Non-contact, no wear, the switch point can be set separately, no tools are required
2 Can be used for cylinders and grippers with radial or axial magnetic polarization
3Remote teach-in via IO-Link at up to 8 switching points
4. The hysteresis of each switching point is adjustable, and the super large moving stroke of 60mm is possible
5. A universal stand with teach-in mode can be purchased
6. Status display through multiple colored LEDs
7. The switching point will not be lost in the event of a power failure
8 We offer special brackets that can be used for other shapes of slots (e.g., round slots)
Whether you are monitoring assembly processes in the automotive industry or multiple pneumatic states in the packaging industry, enabling quick changes in fixtures and process parameters, magnetic sensors from Balluff are your choice. Magnetosensors from Balluff ensure the simultaneous machining of multiple workpieces in an energy-efficient and efficient manner thanks to reliable, wear-free monitoring of the operating process.
