Application Idea's......

In machines and equipment, there is a need for flexible I/O interfaces for applications involving rotating tables, moving pallets, punches, and forming dies. Interfaces of this type require that the sensors follow the movements of the machine. The operation cannot be obstructed by the wiring of the cables. Applications such as this are not possible with fixed or hardwired connections. The use of the Balluff Remote Systems is a proven technology to solve the problems and demands of flexible automation.

In this application, the proximity switches confirm workpiece (car engine) positioning and send the signals to the remaining terminals in the transmitter. The transmitter transmits four confirmation signals of workpiece positioning to the output sensor at each station across an air gap by non-contact transmission.

With a Balluff Power Remote Sensor System, there is no need to use a connector for transmitting the confirmation signal of the workpiece position.

Humphrey Series 555, 565 and 575 Electro-pneumatic Valve and Sensor Systems are complete valve/wiring/plumbing solutions designed exclusively for pneumatically actuated accumulation type conveyors. Used with common photo-electric sensors to electrically operate pneumatic actuators controlling drive belts and carrier rollers. The 555, 565 and 575 replace sensor rollers and mechanically operated pneumatic systems with electronic control and intelligence.

Tolomatic BC3 with Absolute Position Feedback Option

APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:

Identify part size to control the oven door opening for heat testing apparatus. To conserve energy, a dual door system is employed for both the oven entry and oven exit. Each furnace door to open only enough to accommodate the current part.

·   Previous method opened the doors completely, resulting in rapid cooling of the interior chamber

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

·   Doors open only enough to accommodate current part

·   Measurement of height and width of each part

·   Max force required to move parts: 75lbs.

·   Pneumatic system

·   Energy conservation

TOL-O-MATIC SOLUTION:

·   (2) BC315 with APF option

The BC315 band cylinders move the part to align with the door and measure part height and width. The APF sends the measurement signal to the PLC which coordinates the opening size to the oven entry doors. The same door opening is signalled to the exit doors on completion of heating cycle. This unique combination of pneumatic rodless cylinder and position feedback allows faster cycle times as well as energy savings.

Assembly Check with Balluff Sharpshooter™

The Sharpshooter™ Vision Sensor checks injection molded or assembled parts in final inspection.

Assembly Check - Contour or Pattern Match

Injection molded or assembled parts are checked in final inspection. Sharpshooter has the ability to compensate for part misalignment, allowing for reliable inspection.

The Contour Tool can check for absence of burrs, inspect stamped parts, differentiate between part shapes, compare setpoint/actual values. The Pattern Match Tool can detect whether letters, labels, or logos were completely printed.
