Our high-speed, high-memory data carri-ers make it possible to processdata volumes up to 128 kB atup to 212 kbps. Cycle times canbe reduced and output ratesincreased.From page 48Industrial RFID system BIS LBIS L uses passive data carriersfor short ranges up to 100 mm.It is ideal for applications primar-ily focused on identification andless on data processing. If onlyone ID is required, as is the casewith tracking, the system alsooffers cost-effective solutions inread-only mode. Up to 16 identi-fication points can be evaluatedquickly and easily with our easyloop interface.From page 240Vision solutions BVS EThe vision sensor BVS E isthe right choice for reliablefault and quality inspection ifmultiple product features needto scanned simultaneously. Inorder to support this scanning,the BVS E provides up to 20test programs that can youcan easily toggle through. Thisensures short changeover timesif different parts need to be in-spected on the same productionline. Throughput and efficiencyincrease. And the product qualityand productivity improve.From page 354

The data volume and read/write cycles depend upon the storage medium. Balluff data carriersreceive their energy from the read/write device. No batteries are re-quired. The electronics and antenna are integrated into the tag. Theirpower and frequency define the range.

This allows a vision sensor to monitor multiplecharacteristics of a part using image-based visual inspection. Thesame sensor can also read barcodes and data matrix codes reliably.Prompt format changes can be carried out at any time. Even duringan ongoing process. This guarantees maximum flexibility and thehighest quality products for users.Advantages of the vision sensor BVS E■ A vision sensor replaces many different sensors■ Flexible configuration■ Easy to use; PC software for all sensor types■ Robust and industrial-grade■ Easy and flexible installation■ Low costs and fast ROIVision Solutions BVSVision sensors – for higher productivity, more efficiency,top quality and cost reductionHow does a vision sensor reduce costs?Vision sensors monitor many different part characteristics or codetypes in one inspection step. During this process, a single sensormonitors up to 20 different inspection tasks. The result: Fewer sen-sors are in use. This reduces material and installation costs.Changeover times are also reduced because there is no need for acomplex, time-consuming alignment. Instead, only a simple com-mand is needed and the desired test program is enabled. The visionsensor can be configuredusing the supplied, easy-to-use PC software. Learning a program-ming language is no longer necessary.3D CAD models and suitable assembly materials support convenientproduct integration. In addition, external lighting equipment is avail-able for optimum illumination of the work area.
