In what it calls a new performance category of optical sensors, Baumer has launched three new sensor types: (1) a diffuse sensor with background suppression, (2) SmartReflect – the light barrier without a reflector and (3) a retro-reflective sensor also for reflective surfaces. With its OneBox design, the three Baumer sensors have the same dimensions, through holes and control elements for all sensor principles and technologies within the series. This allows users to specify the sensor principle and light source at any point in the design process. A wear-free technique called qTeach enables teaching the O500 sensors just by touching them with any ferromagnetic tool, such as a screwdriver.
