High speed RFID identifies parts quickly
High speed RFID identification system gives fast and efficient parts identification using high-speed data transmission, using high capacity data carriers and heads reading large information blocks.
Balluff's BIS-S identification system is designed for fast and efficient parts identification using high-speed data transmission Featuring data carriers that can store 8000 or 16000 bytes and heads that can read/write large blocks of information at 2000 bytes/s, the BIS-S processes data seven times faster than Balluff's next fastest RFID system

The Microsonic MIC range of ultrasonic sensors have been used by Ace Assembly Systems to solve the problem of product damage when transferring from their Platen System conveyor to packing cases
Optics solve object and position sensing problems
Designed for a variety of applications, optical sensors are ideal for positioning tasks such as level detection, material jam control or detection needing expanded background suppression.
Applications include highly complex assembly operations, such as those found in the automotive industry.
Products in this and similar industries incorporate multiple production steps and are often made up of many parts and sub assemblies.
For fabrication and assembly operations like these, customers must be able to store large amounts of data pertaining to processes such as machining and assembly.
Production of these complex components needs large amounts of data transferred and recorded in the shortest possible time in order to reduce cycle time in production.
BIS-S data carriers employ a new technology called Ferro Electric Random Access Memory (F-RAM), which eliminates the battery used for memory retention in RAM-based data carriers and also permits unlimited read and write cycles.
The system includes two different sized data carriers, both of which contain 8000 bytes of storage.
A 16,000-byte data carrier that uses the same housings will be available soon.
Three read/write heads are available as are two different hand-held programmers, as well as Profibus and DeviceNet processors available with either metal or plastic housings.
