RFID

Our RFID systems are used to make all production steps transparent and traceable and are therefore an essential component in implementing the requirements of modern production and keeping track of all data at all times.

Network modules

Ever faster, more flexible, more efficient and more adaptable production requires seamless communication from the sensor to the internet. This requires components that provide this information. At the same time, an infrastructure is needed that transports the data across all levels.

Quality control at the finishing system

Quality control at the finishing system

Fulfilling your highest quality requirements: the BFS color sensor from Balluff is unrivaled in inspecting sheet and plate finishes. It detects even the slightest color nuances and reliably registers whether a sheet leaves the plant polished or unpolished. Even temperature fluctuations won't keep it from correctly and reliably distinguishing the finished pieces.

The features

  • Distinguishes any number of colors
  • Three digital outputs and a serial interface for performing evaluations (direct output of Lab color values)
  • Large sensing distance up to 400 mm
