Reducing Planned Downtime Sensor driven size changeover

Production line changeovers are major contributors to planned downtime on packaging lines. Thanks to today's precise, yet flexible sensor technology, changing the configuration of conveyors is now a simpler, less time consuming process. Rather than outmoded, error-prone manual cranks and chains, or expensive motor and gearbox solutions, pneumatic cylinders coupled with wear-free linear transducers provide the maximum precision and flexibility with the minimum of expense.

AT Automatic pneumatic adjustment of machine parameters Balluff Micropulse ATs non-contact, wearfree magnetrostrictive sensing technology gives the Micropulse AT extremely accurate and durable measuring performance compared to linear potentiometers. The AT eliminates mechanical linkage as a source of backlash error, physical breakage, and production downtime.

BIW Automatic pneumatic adjustment of machine parameters The BIW's wear-free, non-contact, drop-in fit design completely eliminates performance degradation over time, the principal cause of downtime and loss of accuracy in potentiometers. The new design is ideal for conveyor applications where old-style linear pots are used, such as pneumatic motion actuation.

Reducing Planned Downtime Error proofing the changeover set-up

Modern sensor driven error proofing programs now contain an integrated RFID component to verify that all changeover equipment and process/build information is correct for the application. Modern sensor technology such as quick connect interface blocks, non-contact remote couplers, and recipe tracking RFID systems can dramatically lower machine configuration changeover downtime, and ensure accurate process conversion.

Remote Couplers Quick replacement of entire assemblies without hardwire connections Balluffs unique family of remote couplers use inductive sensor technology to transfer power and signals across an air gap making flexible modular configurations easier to incorporate than ever before. Downtime drops dramatically when there is no need to hard wire connections to temporary sub-systems on flexible packaging lines.

Multiple Interface Blocks Save time and reduce cable runs Balluff multiple interface blocks (MIBs) allow multiple sensors to be attached to one location so that one cable can be pulled back to an I/O rack or a remote coupler. This not only eases changeover troubleshooting, but saves wiring costs and installation time, as well.

Industrial RFID Recipe tracking & verification of machine components Process visibility and tracking issues are quickly solved with Balluff RFID systems. RFID solutions provide modular changeover equipment verification and production lot identification to complete production system tracking and quality control. Balluff RFID systems also provide the tracking information necessary for recipe-driven tracking and data storage to support complex or multi-step processes. See page 19

Reducing Planned Downtime More capability, flexibility, & throughput

When it comes to error proofing, inspection, and quality control, Balluffs extensive range of sensor products provides the industrys widest choice of specific technical packaging solutions - inductive, photoelectric, machine vision, capacitive, laser, long range, analog, and discrete measurement. Whatever technology is required, Balluff application engineers will provide the product, set-up, and application expertise necessary to ensure optimum product flow and individual product quality.

BMS Mounting Systems High quality mounting accessories for optimal positioning Balluff BMS mounting systems allow users to quickly and easily position sensors at virtually any angle. Available in plastic and metal versions, the system uses a small number of standard components to provide mounting flexibility in all three axis. Dimensionally stable, the mounting system uses knurled pins to hold position during sensor replacement - even in complex configurations. See www.balluff.com/bms

Color Sensing Cap color error-proofing Balluff full color sensors can be programmed with multiple outputs, each corresponding to the correct color (or colors) of the product being run on the line. The code writer can assign specific inputs (or colors) for each recipe. In turn, the control system will look for the correct color as targets are presented and will automatically reject a bad or incorrect color product, while keeping the line running continuously. See page 15

Machine Vision Proper cap error-proofing Balluffs Sharpshooter sensor simultaneously checks several aspects of the product to provide a simple, practical, and cost effective way to error proof production with a single vision-based device. Sharpshooter can error proof parts or configurations in different positions, while at the same time avoid the traps of complex vision systems in cost, complexity, and high operator expertise. The result is a cost-effective solution for advanced error proofing. See page 18

Reducing Unplanned Downtime Error-proofing sensors make the difference

Achieving repeatable production and quality steps through recipe-driven sensor performance and application expertise is at the heart of avoiding unplanned downtime. Balluff is a sensor partner that can provide just the right sensor combined with the application expertise to use it in just the right way for maximum throughput with minimum stoppages.

BML Rotary Encoder Linear positioning optimized for conveyor control, machine position, and rotational applications Balluffs S2E BML rotary encoder provides ultra precise machine position. Because the output from Balluffs S2E is a stream of pulses coming into the PLC, the pulses can be used to track the linear position of products in real time as they go through their distributed inspection process, ending in a single rejection/acceptance location. See page 22-23

Self-contained Thru-beams Package size error-proofing Balluff thru-beams are the go-to error proofing sensor. When it comes to reliability and accuracy, no optical sensing mode out performs selfcontained thru-beams. Misalignment is eliminated in most applications for highest throughput. Laser versions can detect very small targets or variations of targets. Moreover, these sensors are immune to variations in target color, reflectivity, or surface condition. See page 14

EtherNet/IP I/O Modules Network communications with simplicity and speed Balluffs new-design machine mount I/O modules incorporate robust, low-profile, all metal housings that can survive rough treatment and harsh environments. Large LEDs are highly visible. IP 67 displays and easy to use pushbuttons make addressing fast and easy.

See page 27

Reducing Unplanned Downtime Detection with single station rejection

Because pulses from Balluffs rotary encoder go in a stream to the central PLC, rotary encoders can be used to track the position of a part anywhere on the conveyor and reject it down stream. A recipe driven application can assign detection devices for specific products and one reject station can be used for all inspections. This is another example of advanced sensor technology reducing the total delivered cost, or TDC. It also helps sustainability because there are fewer components to fail within the system.

Standard photoelectric sensors Balluff GlobalEye photoelectric sensors are designed to provide maximum flexibility for conveyor-based product inspection. Three form factors tubular, combination thread mount, and rectangular, are available in background suppression, diffuse, thru-beam, retro-reflective, and laser versions. Now machine manufacturers and end-users can choose and quickly install the best sensor for any job. See pages 12-13

Standard inductive sensors Balluffs GlobalProx line represents a broad range of top-quality, value-priced general-purpose tubular inductive sensors. Advances in integrated circuit technology and high-volume production techniques enable Balluff to offer highquality, high-performance sensors without high prices.

Capacitive Sensors Package fill level error-proofing Balluff provides capacitive sensors to handle a range of error proofing tasks. They are perfect for liquid and solid level package detection, feeder tank level verification, adhesive verification, cap position control, and product presence detection. Capacitives can look through the package at product fill height or other characteristics within the package. This provides an inexpensive second method of checking for missing components.

Increasing Packing Quality and Process Flow Accurate repeatable technology

Sensor application know-how coupled with the latest sensor technology is the principle way packaging lines can keep up with ever tighter production schedules and ever higher customer quality requirements. In many cases applying an existing sensor design in new, more effective ways is the answer. Every few years, a new technology appears, changing all the rules. Balluff's Sharpshooter is one of those products.

Micropulse AT Automating the changeover process of a cartoner or case packer A typical packing application involves a pusher that moves a collated group of cartons into a container to make a case. The pusher must accomodate two stroke lengths - a longer stroke for the first carton and a shorter stroke for the second carton. To automate this process, a linear position transducer, such as Balluff's Micropulse AT, is used with an air cylinder to produce a continuous position, closed-loop system capable of handling an infinite number of cartons and sizes. See pages 20-21

Machine Vision Checking for final delivery While verification of multiple components or checking for missing parts is very important, size changing can be time consuming. In this example, the vision sensor takes the place of proximity switches. The Sharpshooter provides an inexpensive new capability that was not available before for reducing planned down time, easier line changeovers, recipe driven size changing, and accommodation of flexible or build to suit manufacturing. See pages 18-19

Machine Vision Content verification Vision-based sensors can take the place of multiple conventional sensors. In this example, nine photoelectric sensors are checking the contents of a carton. One Sharpshooter can do the work of all these sensors (see image on page 8). The Sharpshooter operates more like a smart sensor than a vision system. Just like a sensor, it is easily configured to look for certain attributes of a part or product to make sure those aspects of the product are present, the part is configured correctly, and positioning is verified. Like a vision system, it can error proof parts or configurations presented to them in different positions. With the combination of both technologies and the simplified sensor like approach to configuration and usage, users can apply higher level sensing at a lower cost point, allowing these new vision-based sensors to be applied more readily in a true error-proofing scheme. The Sharpshooter is a perfect solution for advanced error proofing.

Sensor Technology The key to successful packaging evolution

The goal of sensor-driven packing applications is lower total delivered cost, lower cost of ownership, and a more flexible machine with superior sustainability. Modern sensor technology combined with seasoned application expertise gets you there. Advanced sensor technology coupled with application know-how adds dramatic capability enhancements to the packaging line. OEM designers need to incorporate new sensor and linear positioning technologies into their packing machines to achieve evolving industry-driven performance/cost ratios. The resulting equipment is less costly, more flexible, and a more sustainable overall operation. Balluff can help make packaging processes: n n n n More repeatable through recipe-driven changeovers and production programs Less costly through less expensive control solutions More flexible through advanced changeover technology and increased modularity More productive through advanced sensor-driven error proofing inspection

Linear Motion Evolution: Increasing Flexibility While Lowering Cost Often machines designed for specific package sizes must handle new packages within its size capability. The answer is to convert Binary control to Linear control. This means using more flexible sensor technology, that converts proximity switches to linear positioning technology for increased machine flexibility.

Here an air cylinder or mechanical system is pushing a collated group of cartons into a container to make a case of product. The collated product is pushed in front of the loading ram, and then pushed a known distance into a container. If a second group of cartons is present, it would have to be pushed at the same stroke distance to push the first load all the way into the container.

An air cylinder enables two stroke distances to be selected to push the loads into the container. Four proximity sensors provide discrete position information to allow a two-position box loading operation.

Using a linear transducer coupled with an air cylinder provides the same machine function for one third the cost of a servo motor an excellent example of sustainability and total delivered cost reduction.

Sensor Evolution: Optical Sensors New vision-based sensors use simplified vision technology to bridge the gap between vision systems and sensor technologies. They provide a simple, practical, and cost effective way to error proof production by simultaneously checking several aspects of the product with a single device.

Traditional sensor-based open flap detection processes use multiple photoelectric sensors and associated programming. Sensors can easily become misaligned, causing unplanned downtime and loss of production.

Balluffs Sharpshooter is a solution that is far less costly than more complex vision systems and provides inexpensive error proofing that reduces planned downtime, makes line changeovers easier, and accommodates flexible build to suit manufacturing set ups.

Changeover Evolution: Reducing Planned Downtime Reducing planned downtime is one of the most effective ways packaging end-users can achieve profitability in todays highly competitive marketplace. Increasingly today, that means using sensors to help shorten changeover planned downtime while increasing machine flexibility at less cost to the end-user.

A typical changeover application involves moving the entire side of a cartoner or case packer. The basic way is with a crank, a bunch of chains, and some position counters or linear scales.

An effective retrofit for existing machines is to put a linear sensor on the machine to monitor its movement and give an audible signal to the person operating the crank as to when to stop.

Now replace the crank with a motor and gear box and continue to use the linear sensor as a feedback loop.

The best solution is to replace the chains and cranks, and use a rod-lock style air cylinders with a linear sensor to produce a complete recipe-driven automatic changeover system.

Full Color Photoelectric Sensors www.balluff.com/bfs

True color recognition sensors read colors by emitting white light, analyzing three beams of reflected colored light (red,blue, green), then measuring the level of light reflected back on each wave length. The level of reflected light is compared to the value stored in the sensors memory. If the value is within its tolerance limits, recognition of that value triggers the output. Typical uses of true color recognition sensors include sorting by product color, or exactly matching a memorized color to that of a passing target.

Sharpshooter Machine Vision www.balluff.com/sharpshooter

Sharpshooter is the first vision-based sensor designed to be an extension of your present sensor-based error proofing system. It provides reliable part or feature presence/absence, position detection, and dimensional verification. This product can be used like a sensor, but provides far more functionality than any discrete sensor. And its also far easier to use than more complex vision systems. In most production situations, vision systems can be overkill too expensive, too much functionality, and just too complex.

Micropulse AT and BIW www.balluff.com/micropulse

Micropulse linear position transducers provide highly accurate and reliable position control signals. Balluffs non-contact magnetostrictive technology means performance does not degrade over time, as with linear potentiometers.

Micropulse AT

Balluff designed the Micropulse AT in a modular fashion to simplify manufacturing and reduce component costs to be competitive with these devices. The main advantage of the Micropulse AT is the non-contact, wear-free magnetostrictive sensing principle. The Micropulse BIW's wear-free, non-contact design completely eliminates premature failure and performance degradation, the principal cause of downtime and loss of accuracy with linear pots.

BML S2E Rotary Encoder www.balluff.com/bml

Balluffs S2E Rotary BML encoder is a lower cost, more effective improvement on standard rotary encoder designs. The basic design of the S2E consists of a magnetically-encoded ring and a non-contact sensor head. This assembly installs easily and provides a quadrature output at up to 46,000 counts per revolution. An available mounting hub allows the magnet ring to be adapted to a wide range of applications. Balluffs S2E: n n n n Features a simple design for a low cost solution Provides accurate velocity and position tracking of virtually any rotary movement to monitor continuous and/or oscillating rotary shaft motion Converts rotary motion into linear measurement to provide compact linear positioning information Provides continuous feedback allowing PLC-directed set points and electronic cams to be established to make the operation of the host machine more flexible

Remote Couplers www.balluff.com/remotes

Remote coupler systems allow the transfer of signals to a controller through an air gap without the need for physical contact. In machines and equipment, there is a need for flexible I/O interfaces for applications involving rotating tables, moving pallets, punches, and forming dies. Interfaces of this type require that the sensors follow the movements of the machine. The operation cannot be obstructed by the wiring of the cables. Applications such as this are not possible with fixed or hardwired connections.
