Progressive digitization and the trend toward individualized products demand solutions that are both flexible and highly automated, even in part inspection applications. To address challenges such as verifying whether specific production parameters meet designated thresholds, Baumer offers an innovative alternative to traditional profile sensors or complex 3D laser scanners through its PosCon light section sensors. These smart devices feature preconfigured measuring modes tailored for tasks like edge detection, width and height measurement, or profiling round objects. The sensors deliver precise results directly without generating complex data sets or requiring costly external evaluation software.

The PosCon sensors operate effectively without a reflector. Their visible laser line and optically aligned axis make setup straightforward, enabling quick deployment in various environments. Once installed, users can achieve accurate measurements by configuring only a few parameters—thanks to the system’s predefined functions. Additionally, these sensors provide measurement values directly in millimeters, allowing immediate integration into control systems for further processing.

The intelligent analysis capabilities of PosCon sensors not only facilitate efficient part inspection and precise tool or robot positioning but also enable effective check-and-sort operations based on threshold comparisons.

While the primary application areas today include automotive manufacturing, metal, and plastic industries, these versatile sensors are also suitable for sectors such as packaging and pharmaceuticals. In addition to these fields, they can be adapted to any other industry requiring reliable part inspection solutions. With reasonable procurement and maintenance costs, PosCon light section sensors ensure that high-quality measurements remain accessible across numerous industrial processes.
