All From One Mold - Optical, Ultra Sound, Inductive and Capacitive Sensors

From Baumer Ltd.
 

 
A uniform casing design, the same calibration and start up, as well as standardized mounting - and alignment fixtures are the features of this series of sensors, which encompasses many different technologies. This results in a multitude of advantages with construction of machines and equipment, especially where different sensor technologies are required. The proven and time-tested sensor series 20 from Baumer Electric offers all sensor technologies currently on the market in a compact plastic casing with small installation depth: The range of products consists of optical, inductive and capacitive sensors. Thus not only the advantages of a uniform casing for all varieties of sensors - such as consistency of all hole patterns, approximately the same position of the transmitting- and receiving axis and activated surface among the sensors are evident - but also the advantages of the electronic Teach-in. No matter which type of sensor is to be used, the set-up sequences are always the same. A priceless advantage with construction of new equipment, as well as for the service technician in the field during assembly and start-up.
