Balluff’s SmartLight Indicator Delivers Operator Guidance at Most Critical Point
July 16, 2018
Utilizing the power of IO-Link, Balluff has created a visual indicator line capable of directing, instructing and guiding operators in nearly any manufacturing task. The new-to-market indicators increase productivity and minimize workforce errors by providing innovative personnel guidance in a variety of applications — pick-to-light systems, part placement, part positions, format change guidance and many others.
The indicators are capable of segment indication (up to six), continuously-variable level indication and run/wait indication. Machine mounting allows all of this rich process information to be displayed directly in the operator’s sightline. Expansion mode allows two Indicators to be connected to one IO-Link port saving money and simplifying cabling.
Highlights:
• Full control of standard colors or mix your own to match corporate identity
• Unique shape is capable of indicating direction
• Operates in 1, 2, 3 or 6 segments for just the level of information required
• Level mode is capable of displaying multiple colors for low and high values
• Run/wait mode is capable of indicating stoppages and slowdowns
