In this week’s issue of Latest Production Technology:

Balluff Laser Distance Sensor with I/O Link

Balluff has released its BOD002L laser distance sensor with an I/O link. The sensor allows manufactures to, for example, precisely and safely determine the location of a component, and also provides stack height detection.

The laser’s clearly delineated laser beam lets users detect small objects with precision. They can also individually set the measuring range of the sensor thanks to the analog output curve, which can be adjusted for various applications.

Blackline Safety Gas Detection for Confined Workspaces

Blackline Safety has introduced its G7 gas detection instrument, which is customizable with plug-and-play cartridges that accommodate for multiple gas detection applications in confined workspaces or factories.

Confined workspaces often lack resources you would normally find in areas designed for continuous occupancy, such as proper ventilation systems, lighting or areas that would allow for easy entry (such as stairwells or doorways), creating potential hazards. The G7 detection helps mitigate these risks with an array of features and measurement settings.

ifm Speed Monitoring

ifm has launched its M12 speed sensor with an integrated I/O link. This safety sensor’s evaluation electronics are included in the sensor housing. This allows for low-cost and easy monitoring of rotating as well as linear movements regarding overspeed and underspeed. The limit of the speed at which the output switches is set via IO-Link.

In addition, due to the optional background compensation, it is possible to adjust the sensing range through “teaching” in order to suppress interfering elements in the background.
