At this year’s SPS automation trade show (November 14-16), sensor expert Baumer is presenting innovative solutions from its extensive Sensor Solution Toolbox. Located next to the main booth, the “Sensorwerkstatt” (Sensor Workshop) allows visitors to explore how easy it is to tackle complex automation tasks using Baumer sensors.

“After all, our sensors and software not only offer many smart functions but are also very user-friendly,” says Baumer CEO Oliver Vietze. “We want to demonstrate this at the SPS through the Sensor Workshop.” At three stations, visitors can test high-performance products like the smart 2D profile sensors from the OX series or engage in interactive demonstrations of IO-Link connectivity with live demos by Baumer’s experts.

Key Highlights from Baumer’s Exhibits

Point Level Detection with Maximum Reliability

The new PL240 capacitive sensor provides contactless detection through container walls, even when dealing with films and residues that challenge conventional sensors. This innovative measuring principle ensures reliable point level detection in containers up to 6 mm thick, regardless of material (plastic or glass).

Simply Code Reading

The IDC200 camera-based multicode reader identifies all common 1D and 2D codes efficiently for tracking components and products. Its compact design allows quick setup: connect via USB-C cable, enter the IP address in the web interface, and press auto setup in just seconds.

Positioning and Inspecting with Minimal Effort

The new OX series of smart 2D profile sensors simplifies complex positioning and inspection tasks. These sensors come equipped with a comprehensive set of tools to process profile data directly within the device itself.

High-Performance Inductive Sensors

Baumer’s inductive sensor portfolio offers unmatched accuracy, compact designs, and added value through fully digital IO-Link Dual Channel sensors. The new cubic models from the IF200 and IF250 series are especially suited for confined installation spaces, achieving a maximum distance of 12 mm despite their thin profile (up to 6mm).

Economical Photoelectric Sensors

The O330 sensor family provides enhanced reliability for object detection while featuring user-friendly design-in support. These economical and powerful sensors expand Baumer’s unique product range for assembly and handling technology in a space-saving design.

Safe Positioning with Certified Encoders

Baumer continues to lead the market with its magnetic encoders, particularly highlighting the robust EAM580RS encoder designed for safety-critical applications. Additionally, the innovative EB360 encoder demonstrates exceptional reliability across extreme environments, from arctic cold to tropical heat thanks to hermetically sealed electronics.

CEO Statement

Oliver Vietze emphasizes that “Smart automation starts with the sensor.” This year’s SPS event offers a unique opportunity to experience Baumer as a partner for intelligent automation solutions through both its powerful product portfolio and interactive testing at the Sensor Workshop.
