Balluff SlagMaster™ coated high temperature sensors combine thermal barrier protection and weld spatter resistance with the inherent benefits of an extended temperature range sensor. These new products have the ability to survive in extremely hot, hostile manufacturing applications where standard sensors "can't handle the heat". (read more)

The Photo-eye that thinks it's a Prox! The BOS 12M Optoprox sensor combines photoelectric range with inductive sensor reliability and utilizes focused red light with fixed focus background suppression, offering sensing ranges of 23 mm or 60 mm. (read more)

Laser photoelectric sensors are often used in demanding applications requiring the ability to detect small parts, high switching speeds or longer sensing distances. The highly visible red laser emission is ideal for alignment in long-range applications, as well as precision detection in short-range applications. (read more)

Sharpshooter™ combines vision capability and photoelectric sensor simplicity. This optical sensor provides reliable error proofing and quality inspection in a small package. (read more)

Significantly increase the life expectancy of sensors experiencing a high probability of impact and contact damage.

Most sensors are not built to take hits from heavy objects, either during loading or the production process. Balluff Bunker Blocks are specifically designed to protect flush mounted inductive proximity sensors from damage from side or frontal blows, and abrasion. (read more)
