Balluff’s new generation of power supplies deliver increased amp output, intelligent diagnostic options, and decentralized installation.

Balluff's new IDENT sensors stand out from the crowded market of code readers with the inclusion of IO-Link.

With 12-megapixel resolution and a frame rate of up to nine images per second, the new 3D stereo camera from Balluff enables highly accurate 3D image processing.

Balluff is going back to Pack Expo in Las Vegas – the first time since 2019!

Join Balluff in Chicago at FABTECH 2023, North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event.

IO-Link offers a flexible and standardized communication platform for connecting sensors and actuators in industrial automation systems. Its ease of use, configurability, and diagnostic capabilities make it a popular choice for modern industrial applications.

Standard inductive proximity sensors are used across the automation industry for metal detection applications and are generally reliable in these operations. But issues arise when switching from steel to other metals like copper, brass, or aluminum.

In standard Industrial applications, capacitive sensors detect plastics and liquids, and although they can also detect just about anything else, there are better alternatives keeping them from becoming the “one sensor to sense it all.”

Critical assets are the lifeblood of the manufacturing plant. They are the devices, machines, and systems that when broken down or not performing to expected standards, can cause downtimes and production or quality losses resulting in rejects.

In this post, I want to delve deeper into the topic and explain the process of implementing an edge gateway.
