Reliably detecting fill levels in battery production
Capacitive sensors
To ensure that storage tanks and containers for raw materials and electrolytes are filled with the required quantities, Balluff offers a wide range of sensors for point level detection. The BCS capacitive sensors reliably detect levels through non-metallic containers and do not require adjustment for conductive media and container wall thicknesses of up to 10 mm. The IO-Link interface offers extended application and setting options. The sensor is easy to install using an industry-standard 3-wire cable. Process monitoring, configuration and error analysis of the IO-Link sensors are carried out in the control system. This optimizes machine processes in terms of time and makes operation significantly more efficient.
Features
- Detection of fill levels through walls of non-metallic container walls of up to 10 mm
- For highly conductive media such as acids and alkalis
- Compensation of foam and residues using Smart Level technology
- Operating modes: Standard I/O mode (SIO), IO-Link mode
