Baumer has introduced two groundbreaking edge sensors, OE60 and OE40, alongside the smart 2D profile sensors from the OX series. These additions expand the company’s capabilities in precise edge measurement across various precision levels and space conditions. Let’s explore what makes these new tools stand out.

Setting New Standards with Automated Edge Measurement

The Baumer toolbox for precise edge measurement now boasts two innovative product additions: OE60 and OE40.

  • OE60: This sensor delivers exceptional accuracy, measuring edges with a repeat precision of 1 µm at distances up to 100 mm. It stands as the most precise edge sensor in its class.

  • OE40: Designed for easy integration, this compact edge sensor operates on the through-beam principle and features a plug-and-play setup.

Together with the OX series smart 2D profile sensors, Baumer’s expanding portfolio addresses diverse applications. Common use cases include web edge control, positioning tasks, gap detection, and diameter measurements across industries.

Tailored Solutions for Every Application

Every application has unique requirements, which is why Baumer’s new toolbox offers customized solutions tailored to precision levels and installation conditions:

  • OX Series 2D Profile Sensors: These sensors utilize the incident light principle for edge detection.

  • OE40 Edge Sensor: With its compact housing and reflector bracket, it supports plug-and-play functionality for through-beam measurements.

  • OE60 Edge Sensor: Operating on the transmitter-receiver principle, OE60 can handle distances up to 300 mm between sensor heads. It stands out as a self-contained device without needing additional controllers—thanks to its integration via the standardized Modbus RTU protocol—which reduces costs and simplifies setups.

Ideal for Battery Cell Production and Packaging

These new sensors are particularly well-suited for battery cell production, where precise edge measurements are critical. The positioning of layers (anode, cathode, separator foil) in winding processes directly impacts battery performance, capacity, and safety. OE40 and OE60 contribute to enhanced product quality through their high-precision capabilities.

For instance, the OE60’s response time ensures that even rapid changes in web edges are captured without delay or filtering—making it ideal for real-time monitoring. In packaging applications involving thin transparent films, the OE40 excels by reliably measuring edge positions where optical sensors might fail. Its specialized mode for transparent objects maintains process stability during material handling.

A Comprehensive Portfolio for Edge Measurement

OE60 and OE40 join Baumer’s existing lineup of high-performance tools, offering reliable solutions across various precision levels and space conditions. The portfolio covers a wide range of requirements in edge measurement applications.
