Join Us May 14,2008 for Balluff's Webcast: Protect sensors and connectivity from heat, slag and impact! If your organization is spending a great deal of time on sensor and related connectivity change out in welding cells, there's something definitely wrong. It doesn't have to be that way! Unfortunately, hundreds of companies have accepted that sensing in welding environments automatically equates to high rates of machine down time, high maintenance costs, and high material costs. There are reasons how and why it's gotten to that point and we will examine those in this webinar.Click Here To Register For This FREE Webinar!
