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.

Balluff’s new CIP Safety I/O module safely connects sensors and actuators to industrial controllers, even in harsh environments.

The concept of product standardization holds a crucial role in the realm of manufacturing, particularly for companies with numerous facilities and a wide array of equipment suppliers.

The wireless IO-Link block works in a manner similar to the existing current blocks but without the need for a PLC.

By leveraging sensor technology, manufacturers can gain valuable insights into their production processes, enabling them to identify areas for improvement, reduce downtime, and boost overall productivity.

The new wireless handheld RFID scanner from Balluff delivers the benefit of reading/writing RFID tags as well as 1D/2D barcode reading and an NFC antenna in the familiar shape of a smartphone.

Traditional LED and laser scanners have been the go-to solution for reading barcodes, but with advancements in technology, new possibilities have emerged.
