Compact
Sensors for
Factory Automation

Mini design. Maxi performance!

The increasing miniaturization of assemblies demands the smallest
possible yet still high-performance components. Balluff mini sensors
meet these requirements. With small dimensions and top performance,
they offer a great degree of freedom in design and make possible
considerably more applications. With mini sensors, users have greater
flexibility.
Miniature sensors are available from Balluff in all operating principles:
as inductive, photoelectric, magnetic, capacitive and as ultrasonic
sensors. Available for each sensor technology are compact inductive
couplers, space-saving I/O modules and RFID in mini versions.
The extensive Balluff product line includes mini sensors and compact
connection technology which are ideally suited for factory automation
especially for robotics, handling and production lines.
Particularly in robotics, on production lines or in handling applications,
low weight is a key requirement for being able to achieve fast cycle
times. Another advantage is the reduced space requirement, which
increases flexibility in a tightly packed machine compartment. Balluff
mini sensors guarantee high precision and reliability.

 Powerful and compact
Small housing, low weight, and yet the highest switching precision
Balluff mini sensors fulfill these industrial automation requirements by
means of small designs and peak performance. They offer great freedom
of design and enable substantially more applications.

Inductive mini sensors are characterized by an optimum price/performance

ratio. They are easy to install and can be fully integrated even in narrow
assemblies such as linear slides, valves and actuators. As a result, position
sensing is now possible where there was never before space for a sensor.
And assemblies can be further reduced in size.

SuperShorty models and small designs

Inductive mini sensors are available with especially small diameter:
with 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm. SuperShorties are the shortest
inductive sensors on the market.

Photoelectric
Mini Sensors
You can count on the photoelectric mini sensors if small parts need Long ranges of up to 10 m
to be precisely detected in applications with limited space and if long Large range of product variants
ranges are important. They reliably detect objects from less than one Easy to operate, precise function
millimeter to distances of up to ten meters.

With their range of product variants, they are a reliable solution to all
applications and offer a great degree of freedom in design.

Advanced laser technology, homogeneous red light or innovative pin-

point technology provide high process accuracy. Diffuse sensors with
background suppression reliably eliminate interfering influences.

Capacitive Sensors
Detect all materials independent of dust, reflections,
color or properties of an object

In difficult environments where dust, reflections, object properties,

or color could influence a measurement, capacitive sensors are the
right choice. Precisely monitor stack heights, detect solids and liquids
through glass or plastic container walls up to 4 mm thick or in direct
contact. PTFE sensing surface makes them particularly resistant.
Robust stainless steel housings are designed for use under demanding
conditions.

The flat disc design offers a large switching distance and, at the same
time, requires particularly little space.

In addition, fine adjustment of the capacitive mini sensors is easily

performed by means of a separate sensor amplifier.

Teach-in via button

The small ultrasonic sensors with block housings operate with high
resolution, leaving nothing to be desired in terms of accuracy.
For challenging measurement tasks, BUS R06K1_ _02/007 and
BUS R06K1_ _02/015 can be upgraded with a focusing attachment.
This allows measurements to be performed in bore holes and
openings with diameters > 5 mm. The BUS R06K1_ _02/015, with
its very short response delay and high switching frequency of 125 Hz,
is particularly well suited for reliably detecting fast procedures.
For the simultaneous operation of up to ten sensors in a constricted
space, the series is equipped with a synchronization input. The wide
range of variants with switching output or with analog output in five
operating scanning ranges make the sensor family suitable for nearly
limitless applications.
Focusing attachment
For fill-level measurement through small
openings with diameters to 5 mm, the
sensor with focusing attachment is
positioned directly over the measurement
location. The tightly bundled sound field is
focused exactly on the location that is to
be measured. The blind zone of the sensor
lies within the focusing attachment, making
measurement possible starting directly
from the sound outlet.
Comment: Can be used with
BUS R06K1_ _-02/007-_ _ and
BUS R06K1_ _-02/015-_ _ for
measurement in boreholes and filling levels
as well as for scanning circuit boards or
highly transparent foils.

Inaccuracy and tolerance shifts have a negative effect on production
quality. One way to improve overall machine accuracy and production
quality is to directly monitor the moving part, or load. Direct load
monitoring ensures accurate, repeatable position feedback. The new
BML-S1H magnetically encoded position and angle measurement
system measures highly dynamic applications exactly and absolutely.
It operates contact- and wear-free. Even external factors such as dirt
and temperature do not affect it. With the unbeatably small sensor
head, it is ideal for linear guides, pick-and-place applications, drive
feedback or vibration welding.

 EtherNet/IP Distributed Modular I/O
Utilizing IO-Link for fast, simple connections

Not only do small assemblies need mini-sensors, they also require

connection technology in compact and high-performance designs.
Utilizing EtherNet/IP Distributed Modular I/O, the engineer has
the ability and flexibility to design compact solutions into their
automation equipment. Space saving I/O hubs and valve manifold
controllers connected over IO-Link allows the machine builder to
integrate quickly and cost effectively. IO-Link reduces the work and
expense associated with wiring, testing, and hardware using simple,
unshielded, economical sensor cables for communication. Sensors
and valve manifolds can be quickly installed and commissioned
without a controls cabinet or timely terminations.

Connect valves, RFID, and smart sensors

For robotics, the IO-Link non-contact connector in the compact

40x40 housing is ideal. It combines rapid tool changes, freedom of
wear and great flexibility. Non-contact connectors eliminate the need
for mechanical plug contacts since they transmit signals absolutely
and reliably over an air gap.

The IO-Link interface of the compact non-contact connector ensures

the simplest installation because IO-Link is quickly wired with a 4
conductor sensor cable.

Space-saving Junction Blocks and Cables
Connecting your sensors quickly and simply to the control

When laying out compact machine design it can be vital to have small
connectivity components to help compliment the miniature sensors
being used. Real estate on the machine becomes a premium as more
automation is designed into a smaller space. Space-saving junction
blocks allow for easy integration into the machine without taking up
a large footprint. Multiple conductors and dual signal cables used in
conjunction with the sensors can allow for many signals to be collected
and run back to the controls cabinet with minimal fuss. Finally, this
allows for easy installation and quick-connection of the sensor signals
back to the machine control.
