In machinery and plant engineering, manufacturers consistently seek out optical sensors, level switches, and rotary encoders that deliver exceptional performance for challenging measurement tasks. The answer is often found at Baumer – a company renowned for its commitment to exceeding industry standards. As Karsten Just, Chief Marketing Officer of Baumer, states: “Extraordinary performance is our mission: Baumer – Beyond the Standard.”

While Baumer products provide efficient and cost-effective solutions for standard applications, they also offer added value beyond typical expectations. The concept of Beyond the Standard encompasses six key dimensions where Baumer excels:

Robustness

Baumer sensors demonstrate superior durability in demanding conditions, including tight tolerances, extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, hygiene requirements, and more. Their proven HeavyDuty encoders and U500/UR18 ultrasonic sensors exemplify this resilience – some models even withstand sandblasting.

Reliability

Engineered to deliver consistent high-precision signals in harsh environments, Baumer sensors minimize performance degradation from object material or external factors like light and temperature variations. Their VeriSens vision sensors provide highly reliable feature inspection capabilities. This reliability directly supports:

Precision

Leveraging deep expertise in sensor physics, Baumer optimizes intelligent signal processing to meet application-specific requirements while maintaining unmatched quality standards. The EAM580 magnetic encoders achieve an angular accuracy of ±0.15° – a level competitors may advertise but cannot consistently deliver under real-world conditions.

Compact Design

Baumer sensors combine powerful performance with miniature dimensions, enabling easier integration into space-constrained applications. Their O200 optical sensor series showcases this advantage through its small form factor while maintaining high ambient light immunity and configuration flexibility.

Ease of Use

Designed for seamless implementation, Baumer sensors feature intuitive configuration options and simplified operational maintenance. The company’s extensive portfolio of process connections and adapters significantly reduces installation time in existing facilities.

Connectivity

Through advanced digital processing, Baumer sensors deliver optimal measurement results along with valuable additional data. Their standardized interface communication simplifies operation and configuration. At SPS IPC Drives 2018, the company showcased its IO-Link sensor portfolio – a high-performance interface that enhances user flexibility while streamlining operations.

These examples represent just some of the ways Baumer standard sensors exceed expectations. For more specialized requirements, the company collaborates closely with customers to develop custom solutions.

At SPS IPC Drives from November 27–29 in Nuremberg, Baumer experts will demonstrate how their products embody Beyond the Standard and explain customer benefits. Visit Hall 4A, Booth 335 to learn more!
