Balluff Introduces New Mini Photoelectric Sensor Family, Perfect for Conveyor Applications


Florence, KY (August 2007): Balluff's new photoelectric family packs maximum performance in a small package. Designed for small parts conveying equipment, the BOS 11K helps designers reduce a machine's overall footprint on the factory floor. The family includes diffuse, retro-reflective, polarized retro-reflective, and thru-beam styles all within the same compact 34.5 x 29.3 x 15 mm T-style housing.

Designed to be used with Balluff's versatile BMS mounting system, the BOS 11K can be positioned almost anywhere at any angle. It's threaded T-body "snout-mount" shape allows for rapid installation, cutting mounting time and labor cost. Its robust ultrasonically welded IP67 housing also features enhanced diagnostic LEDs as well as a highly visible 360o LED window for easy troubleshooting.

The BOS 11K and BMS mounting system is optimized for use in tight locations, common in flexible packaging, tabletop, and general conveyor applications. The BOS11K is UL and CSA approved and fully protected against damage from short-circuits, polarity, reversal, and voltage spikes.

Balluff Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Balluff GmbH, Neuhausen, Germany, is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of inductive, optical, capacitive and magnetic sensors as well as linear position transducers and ID systems. Balluff products for OEM and factory floor solutions are used to control, regulate, automate, assemble, position, and monitor manufacturing, assembly, and packaging sequences for industries including metalworking, automotive, plastics, material handling, wood processing, aerospace, electrical, and electronics.
