Other Balluff presentations, scheduled for Tuesday, June 7 at 2:15 p.m., include:
 Will Healy III (@WillAutomate), Balluff's Global Supply Chain Information Officer will present "Crash Course in Automation Sensors & Cables," a review of the most common sensor technologies in the market. In a light and easy style for any technical skill level, he'll discuss:
• How they work
• Best targets
• Expected sensing ranges
• PNP vs. NPN
• Basics of wiring sensors
• Automation standards
 Tom Knauer, Global Industry Manager, Robotics & Factory Automation will present "Using Predictive Technologies for Your Operations." Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are hot topics in factory automation. The numbers and ranges of solutions are growing and knowing where to start to find the right solution can be confusing and difficult. In his session, Tom will:
• Review customer feedback and research related to top customer concerns
• Cover general phases, symptoms, and severities when machines start to fail
• Look at the most common monitored machine characteristics (vibration, temperature, etc.)
• Discuss the top assets/machines (motors, pump, spindles, etc.), including "real-life" condition monitoring application examples and success stories

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
