Elevate Your Plant's Performance
Imagine a world where unplanned stops and faults are a thing of the past. With Balluff's new multi-functional Condition Monitoring Sensor (BCM), this vision becomes reality. Designed to support the efficient and trouble-free operation of your entire plant, Balluff’s intelligent sensor provides crucial condition information, enabling you to plan maintenance and repairs proactively. Say goodbye to costly manual inspections and hello to streamlined automation.
Unmatched Performance with the BCM Generation 2
The new generation of Balluff's popular BCM sensors sets a new standard in smart IO-Link sensor technology. Thanks to a standardized IO-Link interface combined with integrated intelligent data pre-processing, the BCM Generation 2 takes condition monitoring to the next level. Whether it's monitoring critical components, detecting critical process states, or optimizing processes inline, the BCM Generation 2 handles it all with ease. This isn't just an upgrade—it's a complete overhaul. With improved measurement performance and advanced algorithms, these sensors detect the smallest changes in condition earlier and more accurately than ever before.
Easy Installation and Retrofit-Friendly
Installing the new BCM sensors is a breeze, even in existing systems. The innovative mounting concept requires just one screw, and the small, round mounting surface is perfect for curved surfaces. This means less effort, fewer installation errors, and a significant reduction in space needed.
Intelligent Data for Smarter Decisions
With integrated data pre-processing, the BCM sensors allow you to set up cost-effective, lean condition monitoring systems without the need for high-end evaluation units. Real-time frequency spectra for all three measurement axes are calculated from high-frequency data, providing a solid foundation for process monitoring while reducing unnecessary data traffic. These sensors are incredibly flexible, offering multiple monitoring functions such as ISO vibration monitoring, bearing monitoring, imbalance detection, and temperature monitoring—all with a single device. The different variants of the BCM Generation 2 ensure you find the perfect fit for your application.
