With magnetic encoder systems you can realize reliable automation solutions even in very dynamic applications. Ours are available in absolute and incremental versions, so you can choose the optimum solution for your application....

Laboratory automation AT THE CORE OF YOUR PROCESSES Automated laboratory technology for transporting and processing samples in very confined spaces is essential. And it must work in perfect interaction between optical and other sensor technology, miniaturized electronics and precision mechanical components. Progress cannot be stopped in this classic application field of mechatronics. All the more important that Balluff provides you with optimal solutions for a wide range of application in laboratory automation. Whether you want to detect and track objects or focus on efficient liquid handling,...

Solutions for laboratory automation Specialized laboratory devices are connected via conveyor lines. Thanks to sophisticated sensor solutions, transfer systems steer personalized samples through the analysis process automatically, flexibly and with high throughput. In laboratory equipment, innovative and sophisticated sensor solutions for level detection and microdosing play a major role. Industrial camera systems are also being integrated more regularly into these applications.
