New Micropulse linear displacement systems in profile housing

With SSI and DPI/IP interface

Just in time for the Hanover Exhibition Balluff has enhanced its line of magnetostrictive Micropulse transducers with two new versions. With the BTL7-S5… and the BTL7-P511… the company is offering two new systems in the profile housing with SSI and DPI/IP interface.

Designed for long stroke lengths of up to 7620 mm, these non-contact and absolute measuring systems provide synchronous data transmission for high-accuracy machine positioning with a resolution of 1µm. They feature a sampling rate of up to 4 kHz for especially fast measurement data acquisition. Installation and startup are accomplished in less time. Thanks to the rugged IP67 full aluminum housing no additional protection measures are necessary.

SSI-SYNC for good control behavior and higher dynamics

In a positioning system with synchronized SSI interface data acquisition is synchronized to the external clock of the controller. This allows the controller to perform optimal speed calculations. Ideal applications include precise position measurement in such demanding tasks as simultaneous measurement of axis position and speed on a press.

DP/IP interface for cost-effective and easily integrated displacement measurement

The digital DPI/IP pulse interface is compatible with controllers from most manufacturers and ensures reliable signal transmission. In presses and stamping machines the position measurement system simultaneously and reliably measures the axis position of load and molding stroke movement.

Background information
Magnetostrictive position measuring systems in the profile housing from Balluff stand out with ease of installation, a wear-free measuring principle, a rugged, shock- and vibration-resistant and contamination sealed housing with IP 67 protection rating. The current axis positions are marked by the position encoder magnets through the wall of the aluminum profile. They tolerate a vertical and lateral offset of up to 15 mm.
