Inductive Proximity Switches

Reliability and ease of use have made the Inductive Proximity switch the sensor of choice for numerous applications in Automation and Robotics. These switches can detect any metal target and are highly insensitive to harsh industrial environments containing dirt, humidity, dust and oil.

Capacitive Proximity Switches

The RC oscillator starts up when the sensitive capacitance Cs of the sensing element is affected by an external object. The internal change in current is detected by an adjustable trigger which controls the sensor output.

Photoelectric / Laser

Photo electric sensors are reliable, versatile and able to sense objects of almost any material, size and shape at distances ranging from 5 mm up to 40 m depending on type and configuration used. The addition of fiber cables considerably extends application opportunities for photoelectric sensors, allowing their installation in confined areas, as well as in areas in which intrinsic safety would normally disallow the use of electronics.

Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors

Digital output:
Sensing is only possible within the detection area. The required sensing range can be adjusted with the sensor's potentiometer. If an object is detected within the set area, the output changes its state. The built-in LED indicates this change.

My-Com

World-wide the most accurate mechanical precision switch.
Unique design sets the My-Com apart from other mechanically actuated devices, with a switching accuracy of 1 micron; that's only 40 millionths of an inch! The activating pin, as well as the collar of the world's most accurate precision switch, have been manufactured from high performance ceramics.

Encoders

Correct information day after day:
Today everything is centered around information. It must flow with more and more precision at even higher speeds.
Even at the highest speeds, the system maintains control. Sophisticated incremental and absolute encoders from Baumer electric take care of this. Day after day, all around the world.

Pressure sensors in metal thin-film strain gauge technology meet the highest demands. These products excel through outstanding measuring accuracy, temperature stability, reliability, reproducibility, robustness and media compatibility.
