Baumer Distance sensors

Baumer distance sensors are devices that determine current distance to an object and its movement.

The German company produces the following types of distance sensors:

• Optical
• Ultrasonic
• Radar
• Inductive
• Encoders
• Accessories

Optical distance sensors use a light signal for their measurements. They are able to work at a distance of 13 m. Generally, a laser is used as a light source.

Ultrasonic distance sensors use ultrasonic signals for measurements. They operate at distance up to 6 m and have an accuracy up to 0.1mm. Such equipment are capable for operating in environments with a large presence of pollution.

Radar distance sensors are designed specifically for harsh environments. They have a miniature but very robust design. Such equipment operates at temperatures from -40 to 65 ° C (-40 / 150 ° F). They have IP68 / IP69K enclosure rating and more due to proTect + technology.

Inductive distance sensors are used to work with metal objects using inductive signals. They have a microcontroller in their design and operate on the AlphaProx platform.

Encoders family for distance measurement includes a series of linear magnetic, wire draw (rope) and measuring wheel models.

The company also produces accessories, such as reflectors, cables, peripherals, adapters and mounting tools.

The distance sensors by Baumer hubner includes various models with different operating principles, which combine precision and reliability even in extreme conditions.
