Ultrasonics protect products in conveyor 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.
Instead, the mounting brackets and clamps make it quick, easy and much less expensive to mount and align optical, inductive, capacitive, or ultrasonic sensors and reflectors - even in the most demanding or difficult applications.
The sturdy metal system uses a small number of standard components to provide mounting flexibility in all three axes.
Even complex configurations can be assembled in just a few minutes.
Dimensionally stable, the mounting system uses knurled pins to hold position during sensor placement.
The clamping cylinders accommodate the sensor holder, reflector holder or adapter plates.
A cross-connector allows coverage of virtually all spatial angles.
To ensure that the sensors can also be used in inaccessible locations Balluff has developed a flexible adapter ring.
To aid application design, 3D images and drawings are available.
