For over 70 years, Baumer has been a global leader in sensor technology, empowering industries with precision, reliability, and innovation. From advanced edge detection to AI-driven machine vision, Baumer’s offers a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to optimize automation processes. Here’s a closer look at their standout offerings and how they drive efficiency in modern manufacturing.
- Precision Edge Measurement Solutions
Baumer’s Edge Sensor Toolbox redefines accuracy in industrial automation. The OE60 edge sensor achieves a repeatability of 1 µm at distances up to 100 mm, making it ideal for applications like web edge control and transparent film alignment. Paired with the compact OE40 sensor and OX series 2D profile sensors, this toolbox ensures seamless integration for tasks such as gap detection and diameter measurement in industries like packaging and electronics.
- Vision Beyond Visible Light
Baumer’s SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) and UV cameras enable inspections in spectral ranges invisible to the human eye. These cameras, including the award-winning CX.SWIR.XC series, deliver unparalleled precision for detecting material defects, monitoring chemical processes, and ensuring quality in semiconductor manufacturing. Their patented thermal design ensures high-resolution imaging even in challenging environments.
- Heavy-Duty Encoders for Extreme Environments
The HOG800 series from Baumer’s Hübner-Berlin brand sets new standards in robustness. Built for heavy-duty applications like wind turbines and mobile machinery, these encoders feature enhanced protection against miswiring, overvoltage, and mechanical stress. With smart functions like parameterization via the Baumer Sensor Suite, they ensure reliable performance in harsh conditions.
- Ultrasonic Sensors with NexSonic Technology
Baumer’s UF200 ultrasonic sensor, voted Product of the Year 2025, utilizes NexSonic Technology for fast, non-contact detection. With a blind range of just 15 mm and measuring ranges up to 6,000 mm, these sensors excel in agricultural machinery, lab automation, and logistics. Their IO-Link compatibility enables real-time data transmission for predictive maintenance.
- Smart Factory Enablement with IO-Link
Baumer’s IO-Link ecosystem simplifies sensor integration and maximizes data utility. The VAX smart camera and USB-C Master leverage AI for real-time quality control in food and beverage production, while the Baumer Sensor Suite software allows multi-vendor device management. This free tool provides live data analysis and error-free parameterization, reducing commissioning time by up to 40%.
