Welding Environment
Non-contact inductive proximity sensors must perform a wide variety of clamping and nesting indication, and Poka-Yoke functions in harsh welding environments. Hot weld slag accumulation, elevated ambient temperatures, and strong electromagnetic fields emitted by weld guns can cause false triggering and degrade sensor performance.

WELDING CONCERNS
Weld Slag

PROBLEM
Hot welding slag (a.k.a. weld debris, weld spatter, weld berries) sticks to sensor faces and bodies and causes premature failure of sensors in weld cells.

SOLUTION
Balluff SlagMaster coating on sensor faces resists weld debris and provides a thermal barrier, significantly enhancing sensor longevity, and reducing false triggering. PTFE coated sensor bodies resist weld debris accumulation and promote slag removal during regular scheduled maintenance periods.

Electromagnetic Weld Fields

PROBLEM
Strong electromagnetic fields cause conventional sensors to false trigger or chatter.

SOLUTION
Balluff inductive proximity and magnetic field sensors with weld field immunity (WFI) resist electromagnetic fields emitted by weld guns up to 100 kA/m.

Loading Impact
Incidental sensor damage caused by parts loading impact can significantly degrade sensor performance, shorten sensor life, or even destroy a sensor. Balluff SteelFace inductive proximity sensors can withstand multiple heavy impacts and abrasion, and often have the sensing range to be placed out of harms way.

LOADING IMPACT
Damage from Loading Impact

PROBLEM
Severe loading impact and continuous operational impact damages plastic and/or PTFE sensor faces as well as sensor bodies.

SOLUTION
Every precaution should be taken to prevent electronics such as sensors from being hit, but in many cases, loading impact cannot be avoided. By nesting a Balluff SteelFace inductive proximity sensor into a rugged Prox Mount or Bunker Block, the likelihood of premature failure becomes lessened, even with repeated impact over time.

Sensor Face Damaged by Impact

PROBLEM
Standard tubular sensors often fail from damage to the sensor face and coil caused by slag and impact. Over time, small repeated impacts can damage the face and lead to sensor failure.

SOLUTION
Balluff SteelFace inductive proximity sensors with extended range and stainless steel housings resist impact, providing long life in weld cell impact zones. Balluff Bunker Blocks and Prox Mounts provide sensors an extraordinary degree of physical protection, preventing contact damage to the sensor body and face as well as rapid sensor removal and replacement without need for recalibration.

Cylinder & Clamp Position

Parts welded in a robotic weld cell must be nested and held in place by pneumatically or hydraulically actuated clamps which are often equipped with sensors located in the clamp jaws to indicate clamped or unclamped position. Clamp position can also be determined by magnetic field sensors located on the outer wall of an aluminum or composite pneumatic cylinder. To determine clamping position, a Balluff BMF magnetoresistive sensor tracks the magnetic field emitted by a magnet attached to the cylinders piston. In high-pressure hydraulic cylinders, Balluff StrokeMaster end-of-stroke sensors detect the spud or cushion of a piston shaft to sense clamp position.

CYLINDER & CLAMP

Cylinders & Clamps Need Stroke Detection

PROBLEM
High-pressure hydraulic welding clamps need the right sensors to accurately sense piston extend/retract position and may require electronic weld field immune sensors.

SOLUTION
Balluff StrokeMaster high pressure-rated end-of-stroke sensors accommodate pressures up to 3,000 PSI and fit virtually all common cylinder brands and bore sizes. StrokeMaster heads swivel to direct connector wiring away from weld hostility.

Premature Reed Switch Failure

PROBLEM
When installed on pneumatic clamping cylinders, failure-prone reed switches and drift-prone Hall Effect sensors deteriorate, often providing inaccurate switch points before failing completely.

SOLUTION
Balluff BMF magnetoresistive sensors come with a lifetime warranty and fit virtually all cylinder housing styles and brands. They provide precise switch points and withstand the rigors of the weld process, while providing wear free, non-contact reliability.

Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric and fiber optic sensors require special protection and mounting expertise when integrated into welding cells. Balluff has a wide range of photoelectrics with application-specific infrared, red, or laser capability that can reliably sense through smoke, oil and dirt. In addition, Balluff provides a range of accessories that protect photoelectric optics from heat, slag, and lens occlusion in the hostile weld cell environment.

PHOTOELECTRICS
Fiber Optic Limitations

PROBLEM
Fiber optics can become occluded in the weld cell and stop functioning. They can become broken when weld fixtures are removed, causing fibers to vibrate loose. Cables with excess length break when tied back and get damaged by slag.

SOLUTION
Typically, fiber optic solutions are not the best choice in weld cells. Metal-body laser sensors or inductive proximity sensors are almost always a better choice.

Damage by Loading Impact

PROBLEM
Impact-prone photoelectric sensors can easily become physically damaged in welding environments.

SOLUTION
Bunker Blocks and Prox Mounts can be used to protect tubular photoelectric sensors. They provide a thermal barrier, protect against weld slag and impact, and provide rapid sensor change out. Bunker Blocks, available in several sizes and styles, protect block style photoelectric sensors in the weld environment.

Protecting Connectivity
Weld cells demand the toughest connectivity solutions. Hot debris, cable flex, UV radiation, and high ambient heat can damage peripheral devices. PVC jacketed sensor connectors, fine for clean and dry applications, are generally unsuitable for welding environments. Today, PUR (polyurethane) connector jacketing is being replaced with superior high-flex, chemical-resistant TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) jacket materials that can better withstand well cell punishment. Now, TPE connectivity components teamed with Balluff Weld Repel products can result in reduced weld cell material costs and downtime plus increased system longevity and overall profitability.

S
Sensor Cable Burn-Through

CONNECTIVITY
PROBLEM
Weld slag burns through and destroys conventional cabling. Its weight often pulls the cable away from the connector, exposing it to even more damage.

SOLUTION
Balluff TPE cables provide exceptional burn-through resistance. Especially in conjunction with Balluff Weld Repel tubing, typical problems with insulation burn through disappear. When self-bonding Weld Repel wrap is used to attach Weld Repel tubing to the sensor connector, all gaps allowing debris are eliminated while remaining transparent for viewing LEDs. Use Weld Repel area protection sheets to protect large areas from debris.

Network I/O Blocks Damaged

PROBLEM
Sensor connections often terminate into plastic junction blocks or network blocks which can easily be damaged in welding cells.

SOLUTION
A rugged line of industrial I/O products designed for use in the harshest environments offer a greater degree of strength and durability for applications like robotic welding cells. Most major bus and Ethernet based industrial networks are supported and provide detailed diagnostics on the connections from short circuit protection to network status. In the dark confines of a weld cell, the bright and large LEDs are easy to see.

Non-Contact Connectors
Interchangeable weld fixtures and rotating weld tables often require the use of troublesome, expensive, and high-maintenance contact-based rotating assemblies such as slip rings or commutator ring/brush solutions. In many cases wires inevitably fray and break. In contrast, Balluffs unique non-contact connectors provide a wear free connectivity, powering sensors and providing control information across an air gap.

NON-CONTACT
Broken or Worn Out Communicator Rings

PROBLEM
Rotational weld cells, or cells that use interchangeable fixtures, often incur high maintenance and frequent stoppages due to damaged slip rings, tangled, over-flexed, or twisted wiring.

SOLUTION
Non-contact connector systems provide communication between two or more separated weld cell components through an air gap to energize and communicate between the controller and the sensors. Because there is no hard wired connection, weld fixtures can be inserted into a weld cell frame without the need for mechanical connections, facilitating rapid change out, and improved operator safety.

How Non-Contact Connectors Work

Think of this like a mechanical connector without pins or the requirement of physical contact. When connected, power goes out to the devices and signals come back from the devices. Depending on the specific product of interest, different information can be passed. Power only or power plus, discrete inputs and outputs, or analog voltage signals can be transmitted across the air gap. Each base head is mounted on the controller side of the application and as many remote heads as needed are mounted on the sensors/actuators side of the application.

Robot Zone Limit Systems

Balluff zone limit systems are hardware kits that provide diverse, complementary, and redundant position monitoring for up to three robot axes. Designed to interface with a user-supplied safety monitoring relay or safety PLC, Balluff zone limit systems include all mounting hardware, complementary redundant cams, and the proven Balluff multiple position limit switch, available in either mechanical or non-contact inductive configurations. These robust systems install easily and provide the flexibility to adjust zone angles and zone location, while providing a control-reliable means to mute personnel sensing devices when the robot is safely out of the way.

ROBOT ZONE LIMIT

Increased Productivity and Safety within Robotic Weld Cells

Pre-Engineered Automation System: Fanuc ArcMate Robot with Lincoln Electric Welding Package, featuring the Balluff zone limit system.

PROBLEM
Wherever a human operator must share workspace with a robot, theres no question that safety is the highest priority. When a person enters a robotic work cell, the robot must be safely idled. But this idle time results in a loss of the robots productivity.

SOLUTION
Enter Balluffs robot zone limit systems. These pre-engineered hardware kits let you recapture that lost productivity, while maintaining complete operator safety. Finally, you dont have to sacrifice productivity to keep your floor team safe.

Axis Zone Limit System

Balluff Axis 1 Zone Limit System The Axis 1 position of the robot is directly detected by the Balluff zone limit system. As long as the robot is safely away from the operator-occupied area of the cell, the safety light curtain is muted and the robot remains operational.

Balluff Axis 2 Zone Limit System Some applications may require the robot arm to traverse past an operator to go to another area of the cell. By implementing a zone limit system on Axis 2 (commonly called boom back), the robot can pass in front of the operator with the arm safely retracted without shutting down the robot, even though the operator is present.

Balluff Axis 3 Zone Limit System Axis 3 zone limit systems are sometimes referred to as flip over switches. Some robots have the capability to reach backwards. In these cases, an Axis 1 zone limit system is not sufficient to determine the actual position of the robot arm.

Inductive Sensors SlagMaster coating

SlagMaster coating significantly prolongs sensor life by providing a thermal barrier to protect against heat, retarding build up of weld spatter and slag, and easing removal of surrounding deposits of weld debris during scheduled maintenance periods. The parts listed below are non-weld field immune sensors and without PTFE-coating. For PTFE-coated, weld field immune sensors, see page 14.

Inductive Sensors Weld Field Immune

Weld field immune inductive sensors are used for work-piece positioning in welding areas where strong magnetic fields influence ordinary sensors oscillator/coil systems. This leads to false switching when no target is present. Balluff weld field immune inductive sensors can be mounted in the direct vicinity of welding tongs or electrodes, since welding currents of up to 100 kA do not affect the switching function of the sensor.

Inductive Sensors Factor 1 - Weld Field Immune

Balluff Factor 1 sensors have special dual coil electronic circuitry whose function is unaffected by strong magnetic fields found in processes such as induction hardening and welding environments. They also come equipped with PTFE-coated housings resistant to weld splatter. Factor 1 sensors detect all metals at the same distance. There is no need to de-rate the sensing distance based on target material. Factor 1+ sensors provide greater switching distances for increased performance.

Cylinder and Clamp StrokeMaster sensors

Balluff high-pressure cylinder sensors are designed to sense the spud or cushion of a high pressure pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders piston to indicate clamped or unclamped cylinder gripping jaw positions. Rated to 3000 psi, these embedded inductive, WFI sensors are commonly found in heavy duty welding applications such as automotive and Tier supplier welding environments. StrokeMaster sensors are available to accommodate many cylinder bore diameters in both AC/DC and in DC formats to meet many welding electrical requirements.

Cylinder and Clamp Magnetoresistive sensors

Poor-performing, low-cost reed or Hall Effect switches, often fail to provide reliable clamped or unclamped position information for pneumatic cylinders used in weld cells. An upgrade to Balluff BMF magnetoresistive sensors will provide highly dependable position information over time. BMF sensors are available for virtually every cylinder configuration. They increase machine uptime, lower stocking requirements, and carry a lifetime warranty.

Photoelectric Sensors BOS and BOD sensors

When a photoelectric sensor has to be used in a weld cell, it must be protected to survive in this extreme sensing environment. Success requires a degree of application expertise. Mechanical protection and bunkering must be applied to achieve acceptable sensor survivability. In addition, ambient weld smoke, weld debris, oil, and mist, as well as sensing distance, excess gain requirements, and precision parameters must be taken into account in the choice of a photoelectric sensor. However, with the appropriate sensor choice, mounting hardware, and connectivity, it is possible to apply a photoelectric in the weld cell environment.

Accessories Sensor protection

Balluffs sensor protection solution provides total protection not only for the sensor, but for the connector and cable as well. This complete protection package will yield the weld cell a significant increase in productivity because the sensor and its associated connectivity will last far longer than a similar unprotected or poorly protected sensor and cable. Follow these three simple steps to find the right combination for your application:

STEP 1

From the previous pages, select your sensor. a. Form factor (tubular, flatpack, cube, etc.) b. Control logic requirements (DC 3-wire PNP, NPN or DC 2-wire, etc.) c. Identify special characteristics (SlagMaster, Steelface, F1, WFI, etc.)

STEP 2 STEP 3

Select your mechanical protection system (BunkerBlock, ProxMount, Plunger, etc.) The Weld Select Series from Balluff is the ultimate solution for increasing productivity and decreasing sensor failure.

Select your connectivity system a. TPE Cable b. Weld Repel tubing, sheeting & wrap
