Groups of goods of BALLUFF

Determine the position of the object:

Inductive sensors Balluff BES monitor, manage and automate processes and states, and it is absolutely no wear. BALLUFF sensors have been used in the engineering industry, in the chemical, textile and wood industries, and especially in the automotive industry - anywhere where there is a production automation. From standard sensor to sensor with extended switching distance, are resistant to high temperatures and pressures.

Capacitive sensors Balluff BCS determine the change in capacitance caused by the approaching object to the electric field of the capacitor. They recognize metals, plastic and liquid, and therefore are widely used. Packaging industry, plastics processing and level control - are just a few areas where the capacitive sensors are used.

Optoelectronic sensors Balluff BOW used in various areas of robotics, automation, assembly and handling. Each series has its own merits and is unparalleled in the field of application. Together with the cylindrical body made of brass, steel and plastic BALLUFF offers numerous options in the rectangular metal or plastic enclosures of almost any size with a variety of features and performance. Along with the traditional light probes, light and reflective barriers release program optoelectronic sensors BALLUFF includes many special features and designs, for example, background suppression, remote sensors, color sensors, sensors contrast and fluorescent sensors.

Magnetic field sensors Balluff BMF used primarily to control the position of the piston in the pneumatic cylinder. The field magnet mounted in the piston, the sensor is determined through the wall of the cylinder barrel. Due to its non-contact principle of the magnetic field, these sensors operate reliably and without wear and are gaining in popularity. For a variety of pneumatic cylinders on the market, BALLUFF offers ideal solutions: with thought-out concept in the application of universal mounting sensors are suitable for installation in virtually any design cylinders.

Balluff BUS ultrasonic sensors are ideal for measuring distance or position detection granules, liquids, and powders. They measure the fill level height and sagging without contact, and may also read and control the presence of objects. They are versatile, working independently from the color and surface finish. Ultrasonic sensors with high accuracy - are universal, designed for emergencies. Dust, dirt and the steam is not present problems of their operating range from 20 mm to 8 m, and this means that even a great distance so the object can be processed without problems. Their high resolution and small blind zone for maximum accuracy. Integrated synchronization means that the sensors do not interfere with each other. Ultrasonic sensors BUS vary their output. Each series is available with both discrete and analog output (0 ... 10 V or 4 ... 20 mA).

Also in this group of products includes: sensors for pneumatic cylinders BMF, photoelectric sensors BOS, volokonoopticheskie of BFB, fiber optics BFO, angular sensors BWL, Forklift direct beam sensors BGL, light grids BLG, contrast sensors BKT, fluorescent sensors BLT, color sensors BFS , mechanical single and multiple position switches BNS.
