The smart factory with its complex production lines demands great flexibility. Keeping a constant eye on the process becomes critical. This is where sensor technology plays a decisive role in pneumatics, e.g. in various pneumatic drives, compact and precise grippers, punching and screwing devices, and tool changers. The sensor technology ensures the required speed, precision and flexibility.
With the BMP series, Balluff has a smart position system in its product range that delivers an absolute position signal for the stroke path of a piston and also provides information on the sensor status and the current ambient conditions via IO-Link.
The solution where space is limited
With the BMP02, we are expanding our portfolio to include a magnetic field position measuring system whose size makes it particularly shines when used in pneumatics. This is because we have shrunk it down to be an ideal fit in applications that offer little space for a sensor, e.g. in factory automation, material handling or robotics.
As with the BMP, the BMP02 provides continuous and precise contactless position feedback – the basis for high process reliability and automation quality. Due to the small form factor and the simple parameterization of the system, commissioning and adjustment in particular have been significantly improved. Condition monitoring, an intelligent stroke profile and the measuring sensor profile also ensure the BMP02 is smart and powerful. This way, you achieve the dynamics, precision and flexibility that the smart factory with its complex production lines requires.
