Flexible and intelligent condition monitoring
Unplanned downtime and interruptions in the production process are annoying and costly. Our new multifunctional condition monitoring sensor BCM supports your factory's efficient and trouble-free operation. It records and processes physical parameters such as vibration or temperature, providing IO-Link the necessary data to the superior system.
Based on the status data, errors can be detected at an early stage, and alarms are triggered when predefined individual limit values are reached. Limit value monitoring allows you to use the sensor as a monitor, so only relevant data is transmitted via the interface. This helps you avoid unnecessary data transmission. Thanks to the sensor's self-monitoring, the intelligent sensor can also inform you about its temperature, operating time, and start-up cycles at any time.
Features
Multiple measured variables in one device: vibration, temperature, humidity, ambient pressure;
Integrated evaluation electronics with configurable data preprocessing;
Utilizes data to display events and status;
Through IO-Link Quick connection and easy integration;
Compact design;
Definable limit values for pre-warnings and main alarms to generate warning messages.
Controlling driverless transport vehicles
Our RFID system is reliable and simplifies the navigation of driverless transport vehicles, enabling efficient material flow. The RFID reader in the vehicle and the coded blocks embedded in the floor communicate permanently, allowing you to precisely guide the vehicles to their respective workstations and track deliveries. Vehicle parts are reliably conveyed through the factory's entire production line. In addition, our photoelectric sensors ensure precise positioning at the loading and unloading stations.
Features
Detection of the absolute position during transport;
Ability to check the real-time location of each vehicle and its cargo at any time;
Contactless communication, maintenance-free;
Automated processes, reduced manual operation.
Positioning for robot gripper systems
During final assembly, our inductive distance sensors can directly monitor the linear movement of the gripper on the robot's gripping system. The sensor's IO-Link interface allows continuous monitoring of your lightweight robots and provides diagnostic data, enabling needs-based maintenance and making it ideal for quick application.
Features
Compact, robust, reliable;
Absolute, distance-proportional analog signals;
Through IO-Link continuous diagnostic data, implementing needs-oriented maintenance;
Reduced downtime, increased machine availability.
