Intelligent linear feedback – Continuous and contactless position determination

With the flexibility required by changing specifications, it is often difficult to meet the high expectations placed on process and product quality, even in modern automation systems.

This makes it all the more challenging to achieve both goals in everyday industrial life.

It is crucial to keep an eye on the work process at all times. Here, sensor technology in compact and precise grippers, punching equipment and tool changers plays a decisive role.

The new Magnetic field length measuring system BMP from Balluff offers you the possibility to monitor ongoing work processes reliably and without wear. The magnetic field length measuring system helps you to keep the different processes under control, to process objects simultaneously and at the same time to remain energy-efficient.

In this way, you ensure high process reliability and automation quality: whether you want to control assembly, such as in the automotive industry, or quickly adjust changed formats and process parameters, such as in the packaging industry, where multiple pneumatic movements must run synchronously.

The specifics:

• Flexibility thanks to a modular concept: suitable for a large number of cylinders over the entire stroke up to 256 mm
• Full transparency: continuous monitoring of the piston position in the tightest spaces via analogue voltage and current output and via IO-Link interface
• Reliable results: application-relevant linearity and repeatability
• High process reliability: low temperature drift and very good electromagnetic compatibility
• Suitable for Industry 4.0: format change, Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
