Technology highlights

Baumer offers optimized, user-friendly 3D sensor CAD data that accelerate the engineering process and avoid errors during sensor installation and commissioning

With RDMA, GigE Vision cameras can now also be used for the most demanding applications. The scalability ranges from 10 GigE single cameras to large multi-camera systems with several 100 Gbit/s using standard network components.

Machine vision cameras with 10 GigE interface are easy to integrate and, with a bandwidth of 1.1 GB/s, are ideal for applications with high resolution or high process speed.

• Sensors that remain reliable and impermeable over their entire service life.   
• Shock-tested over the entire temperature range to simulate aging effects
• Protection against ingress of dust and high temperature, high pressure water - IP 69K

The display with standardized user operation throughout the entire CombiSeries line of sensors for temperature, pressure, conductivity, flow and level measurement ensures smart and simple process monitoring.

OneBox Design stands for a new Baumer housing design, which covers two technologies and a variety of sensor principles. Baumer NextGen sensors feature the same dimensions, through holes and control elements for all sensor principles and technologies within the series. You have the choice!

The HART®communication protocol transmits digital data and parameters via analog interface. Already existing wiring architecture remains in use. The circuit can be modified as intrinsically safe for use in potentially explosive environments. A great number of standard components is available for connection to higher-level bus systems.

• In conformity with the relevant regulations and directives (3-A sanitary standards, FDA-compliant, EHEDG-certified)
• No dead space, and easy to clean
• Hygienic process connections, pipe connections and seals
• Hygienic materials and surfaces

Industrial cameras with JPEG image compression directly integrated in the FPGA allow high-speed image processing with a reduced bandwidth, a low CPU load, and low storage space requirements.

For quick and easy access to IO-Link technology: the most important terms in brief and clearly explained.

Baumer has ranked among the market leaders in the miniaturization of industrial suited sensors for years. "Maximum performance in minimum space" is the maxim which leads to in sensors with unrivaled capacity in their dimensions. They are available in switching and measuring versions in a wide variety that solves your issues as well.

Polarization cameras with sensor-integrated polarizing filters are the easy and cost-effective way to perform demanding inspection tasks for example on low-contrast or reflective surfaces and transparent materials in just one image acquisition.

Sensors with qTarget allow a fast and easy installation without fine-tuning as well as a fast exchange. The Baumer design aligns the sensor’s light beam to the fixing holes. This will not only compensate tolerances between individual components but ensures consistent alignment accuracy within the complete sensor series.

Demanding ambient conditions such as dust and water call for appropriate sensor protection rating from IP 65 to IP 69K.

Shape from shading is a 3D-measuring technique used in inline surface inspection to reliably identify defects, even on highly-reflective metal surfaces. Baumer industrial cameras simplify system design and reduce cost thanks to the combination of this technology with integrated illumination control.

Different teaching methods for easy configuration of the sensor’s measuring range using the teach-in button, the remote teach-in input, a potentiometer, the 1-step teaching method or the qTeach functionality.

VeriSens vision sensors offer 23 different feature checks. Up to 32 simultaneous checks are possible – with only one acquired image – for the efficient implementation of even extensive quality controls.

• For use in wet areas for spray water and chemicals
• In conformity with the relevant regulations and directives (Ecolab, FDA)
• Sealed V4A stainless steel housing
• Protection against ingress of dust and high temperature, high pressure water - IP 69K

European, non-profit consortium of users, suppliers and health care bodies. Assessment of the cleanability of hygienic components on the basis of a laboratory test in which the test object is compared to a reference tube. If the test is passed, EHEDG issues a certificate. The consortium also issues guidelines. The cleanability of the outside of devices (cases etc.) is referred to as “washdown”, which is used particularly in location sensors (e.g. light barriers). This can also be used for cable connections and connectors.

Independent, non-profit company in the US. Representation of the interests of public and state health bodies, machine and food manufacturers. Establishes standards for materials and design for use in the beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries. The assessment of the compliance of a test object is carried out by an inspector on the basis of the design drawing and a visual inspection. If this is positive, 3-A issues a certificate. In addition to the parts coming into contact with the process, the exterior design (case etc.) must comply with certain guidelines, for example, no liquid may remain on flat surfaces.

Supervisory authority in the United States for the protection of humans and animals. In process technology, responsible for the selection of materials. Certain materials such as high-alloy stainless steel and various synthetic materials (e.g. PEEK) are listed for safe medium contact. These are given a specific “CFR” number. Baumer declares compliance with FDA requirements on its own responsibility with the “Food Regulatory 26 Declaration of Harmlessness”.

Materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
10/2011/EU: Plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
2023/2006/EC: Good manufacturing practice. With the “Safety for contact with food” certificate, Baumer declares its compliance with these regulations. For bought-in parts we require appropriate evidence from our suppliers.

Compliance with European directives. By attaching the CE mark, Baumer declares the relevant product-specific compliance: 2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) (replaces 2004/108/EC). 2011/65/EU: Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) (replaces 2002/95/EC). 2014/68/EU: Making available on the market of pressure equipment (Pressure Equipment Directive) (replaces 97/23/EC). This is used from certain volumes and pressures. The directives and any standards applied are to be specified in a “Declaration of Conformity” with the type designation of the device and the manufacturer’s address. With this document, which is to be presented on request, the manufacturer declares compliance on his own responsibility.

European directive 2014/34/EU: Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (replaces 94/9/EC). Compliance is to be examined by a certified body and confirmed with a type examination certificate (e.g. TÜV). Baumer declares the compliance of appropriate sensors with the directive in the CE Declaration of Conformity.

Independent organization in the US. Issues standards and tests products for compliance with special requirements, for example safety. Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is the counterpart in Canada. The “cULus” pictogram indicates the recognition of the relevant test for both countries. After successful testing, the laboratory issues a certificate (UL listed). The test is largely required by European OEMs that supply machines to the US. Their testing costs are reduced if individual components are already listed. Listing is not mandatory for the simple sale of sensors in the United States and Canada, since our devices do not use voltages or currents that pose the risk of electrical shock or fire.

Amalgamation of the classification companies “Det Norske Veritas” (Norway) and “Germanischer Lloyd” (Germany). DNV-GL certifies equipment for the maritime sector, mainly for use on ships. Before a certificate can be issued, increased vibration resistance in particular must be demonstrated in laboratory tests.

Classification company with headquarters in London (UK). It issues certificates on the basis of laboratory tests complying with the Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance system. In addition to the shipping sector, the company is also active in the railway sector.
