Barrel and block style sensors deliver identical switching distance for all metals
April 5, 2023
Available in barrel and block styles, the latest additions to the Balluff inductive sensor portfolio deliver Factor 1 capabilities to meet today’s manufacturing needs.
With a new generation of optoelectronic sensors, Balluff offers a universally applicable and reliable solution for detecting objects and expands its globally established product family.
BMF magnetic field sensors for the C-slot from Balluff are mainly used to monitor the piston position on cylinders and grippers. The sensor detects the field of the magnet integrated in the piston through the cylinder wall.
What is the first thing that comes to mind if someone says “proximity sensor?” My guess is the inductive sensor, and justly so because it is the most used sensor in automation today.
As manufacturers continually look for ways to maximize productivity and eliminate waste, automation sensors are taking on a new role in the plant. Once, sensors were used only to provide detection or measurement data so the PLC could process it and run the machine.
Supply chain and labor shortages are putting extra pressure on automation solutions to keep manufacturing lines running. Even though sensors are designed to work in harsh environments, one good knock can put a sensor out of alignment or even out of condition.
