Traditionally, airplane manufacturing has been difficult to automate, due to factors such as tight tolerances and stringent quality demands. However, a new breed of robots enhanced with artificial intelligence technology promises to change that scenario.

A linear motor transfer system is key to increasing flexibility and efficiency in a high-mix, high-volume production environment.

Balluff’s new Inductive Rapid Positioning System delivers fast continuous linear position measuring with the added bonus of condition monitoring capabilities.

Balluff’s BTL LDPS delivers continuous position sensing up to 1.5 km.

Companies wanting to add IO-Link to their production have a new option — Balluff’s simplified I/O hubs. 

To improve OEE, it's important to focus on five key areas.

The primary goal of CIP Safety is to enable the safe exchange of data between safety devices, controllers, and other components within an industrial automation system.

Avoiding weld spatter, magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and impact damage are common challenges in a harsh welding environment. The self-bunkering inductive proximity sensor plays a key role in alleviating the issues.

Lion expects to produce approximately 14,000 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles per year at its.
new assembly plant in Mirabel, Quebec. Meeting that sort of production volume requires automation.

The process of disassembling EV batteries is mostly a manual process. Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory are trying to change that.
