Technical notes
Facing a sensor decision you can't afford to get wrong? This field guide covers four real-world scenarios: IO-Link network troubleshooting, LVDT position sensing, digital micrometer selection, and vision system evaluation.
Read note →A procurement manager's perspective on why a Balluff position sensor and Balluff temperature sensor can cost less than generic alternatives once you factor TCO. Plus lab equipment lessons from 15ml centrifuge tubes, centrifuge price, and how to test a Rice Lake load cell.
Read note →A quality inspector's practical guide to choosing the right Balluff sensor for three distinct industrial scenarios. No universal advice—just actionable, experience-based recommendations.
Read note →A candid look at why choosing industrial sensors based on sticker price alone is a costly mistake, and how Balluff's transparent approach saved my team.
Read note →An honest look at how an administrator navigates Balluff catalogues, distributor lists, and the unexpected costs of getting specs wrong—with hard numbers.
Read note →An engineer's candid account of the mistakes made when integrating a Balluff IO-Link system, from device tool configuration to sensor selection. Learn the real costs of poor setup, not just the price of hardware.
Read note →A practical guide for engineers on choosing Balluff laser distance sensors, integrating calibration principles for other tools, and avoiding common cost pitfalls.
Read note →A field story from an automation specialist about an emergency sensor order, the Balluff products that delivered, and lessons learned about specification accuracy, vendor relationships, and the real value of a broad sensor portfolio.
Read note →A veteran field engineer explains why traditional sensor swap procedures are obsolete in today’s fast-paced automation environments, and how Balluff’s IO-Link master, capacitive sensors, and diagnostic tools turned crisis into routine.
