Sensor Provides 4 Nanometer Resolution for Manufacturing Measurements

October 17, 2012 By Randy Frank

With its redesigned contact-free IPRM 12 inductive sensor, Baumer now offers measurement resolution of 4 nm. In addition to high resolution, the IPRM 12 has a measuring speed of 1 mm/s. The contact-free sensor provides an alternative to complex measuring systems and will not leave scratches or pressure points on delicate finished products. Housed in […]

Sensor Detects Magnetic Targets behind Non-Ferromagnetic Walls

July 25, 2012 By Randy Frank

Detecting magnetic fields over distances up to 60 mm demonstrates the capability of recently released MFxM magnetic proximity switches from Baumer. With this sensing distance, the proximity switch can be used to detect a target located behind a wall of non-ferromagnetic metal such as stainless steel or aluminum. An important application is any place where […]

Capacitive Sensor for Liquid Level Detection

September 15, 2011 By Randy Frank

Detecting liquid levels in confined spaces in machines and facilities can pose problems. For these types of applications, Baumer developed its CFDK 25 capacitive sensor. The 52.4 x 25-mm flat housing design has a height of only 6 mm and has an available mounting frame. In addition to attachment with two screws, the frame allows […]

Diffuse Contrast Sensor Operates within 50 µs

March 9, 2011 By Randy Frank

Print mark detection in high-speed packaging and printing operations requires a rapid response sensor.  Baumer’s FKDK 14 diffuse contrast sensor uses a white LED to precisely detect print marks within a response time of 50 µs. With the white light source, the photoelectric sensor can reliably detect print marks of all colors, even with slight […]

Sensors Detect Metal Targets In Extreme Heat & Cold

February 2, 2010 By sensortipsadmin

Sensors work in extreme heat and cold

For sensing applications exposed to temperatures from -25 degrees C to +180 degrees C, Baumer has introduced the new IFRH Series of Inductive High Temperature Sensors, a family of two-part proximity switches available in M8, M12 and M18 designs with chromium nickel steel housings. Intended for flush-face installation, the IP67-rated IFRH sensors are designed to […]

Optical Sensor Accurately Detects Small, Fast-Moving Objects

December 12, 2009 By sensortipsadmin

For sensing applications involving distances as far as 200 mm, Baumer has introduced the new Long-Range ParCon, an analog optical line sensor that projects a continuous 24 mm wide beam of parallel light to a reflector, permitting extremely fast and reliable detection of moving parts as small as 0.5 mm. The sensor can also measure […]
