Monitor material availability with ultrasonic sensors
Ultrasonic sensors for flexible monitoring of material availability in the coating process
The availability of carrier films is crucial for a continuous and efficient coating process. The BUS ultrasonic sensors from Balluff monitor the material level on the rolls by precisely measuring the distance to the film, regardless of material color or transparency. The sensors offer high reliability in harsh environments and can be easily parameterized and integrated into existing systems thanks to the IO-Link interface. The early detection of low material levels allows the operating personnel to react quickly and replace the coils in good time to continue the process without interruption.
Features
- Reliable monitoring of the material stock using ultrasonic technology independent of material color or transparency
- Extensive parameterization options and additional functions via IO-Link for optimal adaptation to different applications
- Robust design for use in harsh industrial environments
- Easy-to-read display for simple commissioning and status monitoring
