Easy Tool-ID

Among the things to see is how Tool ID - tool coding using RFID - results in more transparency, efficiency and quality in metalworking. With Easy Tool-ID Balluff now also offers an economical entry into tool management. It is simple to retrofit and stands out with easy installation and configuration.

Safety components

The company's own safety components and integrated safety solutions are another highlight. Balluff is the first in the world to offer Safety over IO-Link, a simple-to-integrate, cost-saving safety solution based on IO-Link and Profisafe. This is open to the sensor level and thus allows the use of M12 standard cables as well as Balluff safety components and safety devices from other manufacturers.

New, efficient sensor solutions for clamping distance monitoring on the tool spindle, position feed on the moving axes as well as end-of-travel monitoring on the linear drives will also be shown. Balluff will also present a complete line of pressure sensors for monitoring process pressure, hydraulic pressure and vacuum.
