The Baumer Group is one of the world's leading specialists for high-performance sensors and sensor systems in industrial automation. A uniquely broad product portfolio, precise measurements and smart sensor functions enable intelligent solutions for digitalized production. With around 2,800 employees and 39 of its own development centers, production plants and sales offices in 19 countries, the Swiss family-owned company is always close to its customers. As an innovation leader, Baumer has been creating decisive market advantages and measurable added value with consistently high quality standards for over 70 years.

At SPS 2024, Baumer will be demonstrating how users can derive maximum benefit from the comprehensive Sensor Solution Toolbox.

Measure, test, inspect

Baumer makes quality control faster and more efficient: Precise in-line distance measurements or image-based feature checks ensure consistently high product quality and increase efficiency in the production process. With the help of high-performance industrial cameras and smart all-in-one sensors, the most individual requirements can be met. And thanks to pre-integrated functions, this is particularly easy and requires no programming effort. A large selection of standardized interfaces enables easy integration. Freely programmable smart cameras offer the opportunity to use AI in an optimally coordinated way. Baumer also offers a broad portfolio of suitable sensor solutions for monitoring forces.

Baumer sensors can do more: High process reliability in the control of machines and robots increases plant efficiency. Baumer position sensors and multicode readers can do more. They perform better in small designs and therefore allow very compact machine design. Systems are ready for use more quickly because smart functions save time from design-in to commissioning. Last but not least, reliably high precision ensures consistent quality. The comprehensive sensor toolbox for object detection, identification and positioning allows the most suitable sensor to be selected in each case. Applications throughout factory automation, such as assembly and handling or intralogistics, can thus be optimally solved.

Monitor fluid processes

Baumer process sensors save valuable resources: pressure, level, flow, analysis and temperature - Baumer offers compact sensor solutions with best-in-class performance for these important variables for the efficient control of fluid processes. Fast response times and reliable, accurate measured values help to increase process quality and save resources.

With clever, field-proven sensor solutions, air or gas bubbles in the system can now be easily detected, fill levels continuously measured or flow rates accurately determined even at low speeds. Precise pressure sensors can be used to further optimize water treatment or the operation of heat exchangers, for example.

Baumer encoders ensure maximum performance. Even during mechanical and electrical integration, numerous adjusting screws can provide the extra performance in the system. The correct selection, design and setting of the measurement parameters guarantee optimum dynamics and accuracy - precisely matched to the application. Whether in factory automation or mechanical engineering, Baumer offers the right interfaces, first-class signal performance and durable encoders, even for harsh environments.

Connect, network and evaluate

Baumer delivers smart solutions: With a broad portfolio of smart sensors and excellent technology and application expertise, users can solve their automation tasks quickly and smartly. The smart sensors provide the required signals, data and information in the appropriate form and quality, whether conventional analog, digital via IO-Link or Industrial Ethernet. This enables flexible and cost-efficient 24/7 production.

Software tools are an important part of this overall solution in order to quickly understand and use the wide range of functions of smart sensors. Industrial Ethernet sensors from Baumer impress with integrated web servers. IO-Link devices can be evaluated, visualized and parameterized independently of the manufacturer using the Baumer Sensor Suite software. These tools ensure intuitive use of the sensor functions, accelerate processes from engineering to commissioning and maintenance and thus enable the full potential of smart sensors to be exploited.
