Balluff’s inductive Factor 1 sensors
Balluff’s new generation of high-precision inductive factor 1 sensors accurately detect ferrous (iron-based) metals like steel and non-ferrous metals like aluminum and brass at the same rated switching distance. Typical inductive sensors have a reduced range for non-ferrous metal, requiring a correcting factor to calculate their switching distance. Not so with Factor 1 sensors; they […]
Balluff’s family of precision laser sensors
Balluff’s newest precision laser sensors guarantee the precise positioning of small parts, as well as dark, transparent or complex-shaped objects. Their background evaluation mode makes them a suitable choice for detecting highly reflective or shiny parts. And their intelligent ambient light suppression function allows them to reliably filter out interference and ambient light. These high-precision […]
Balluff’s media-contacting temperature sensors
Balluff’s newest media-contacting temperature sensors provide continuous monitoring and measuring of process media temperature on machines and equipment. Users can directly control critical process conditions such as a temperature limit via the switching output, which switches when the temperature exceeds the selected setpoint range. An analog output provides continuous measurement results, with a measuring range […]
