Photoelectric sensors are non-contact sensors that use visible or infrared light to detect objects. They emit light beams and watch the beam for any interruptions or changes to detect the presence of any foreign object within the light path.

In this article, we'll take a look at the Baumer miniature photoelectric sensors.

What is a Baumer Miniature Photoelectric Sensor?

Photoelectric sensors detect objects, measure distances, recognize colors, count components, and monitor filling levels. The production of newspapers, chocolate, cars, computers, and cell phones would be unthinkable without sensors. Delivering letters and parcels would be very labor intensive and food handling would be cumbersome. Modern technologies allow the production of compact photoelectric sensors that are able to accurately detect objects with high repetition accuracy even in harsh industrial environments.

As for the advantages of this type of sensor, there are many of them. Among them you will find:

  • Robust housing made of stainless steel, metal, and plastic for various applications.
  • High resistance to scattered light.
  • Vibration-resistant sensors and sensors in IP 69K version.
  • Low-temperature drift in case of ambient temperature fluctuations.
  • Reliable and efficient processes.
  • The point, line, or multi-point beamform for reliable measurements in the submicrometer range on non-homogeneous surfaces.
  • High precision down to the micrometer.
  • Precise positioning of objects with non-linearity ± 0.06%.
  • Intelligent signal processing inside the sensor.
  • Fast measurements thanks to short measuring cycles.
  • Fast and economical installation with Plug & Play.
  • Easy and quick adjustment of the measuring range with the teach button.
  • Innovative touch display with a simple operating concept.
  • Factory-calibrated sensors with measured values in millimeters.

Here are some of Baumer's miniature photoelectric sensors applications.

  • Measuring the thickness of metal, ceramics, wood panels, or rubber bands.
  • High-precision distance measurements, e.g. in quality control.
  • Position feedback in industrial automation.
  • Level control, e.g. in the packaging industry.


Technical Data About Baumer Miniature Photoelectric Sensors

Versatile applications require laser distance sensors with versatile characteristics. In addition to the different sizes and ranges, the type of measuring beam plays a particularly important role. Through continuous development, Baumer is able to offer a new "multi-point" measurement principle with three different beam shapes:

  • Laser point: measurement of small objects with a spot size <0.4 mm.
  • Laser line: measurements on rough surfaces.
  • Multipoint laser line: measurements on extremely rough and inhomogeneous shiny surfaces with very wide laser lines <62 mm.
