Baumer Group, founded in 1952 and headquartered in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, is a global leader in sensor technology and automation solutions. The company develops and produces sensors, encoders, measuring instruments, and components for automated image processing, serving sectors such as factory automation, process automation, motion control, and industrial machinery. Baumer’s portfolio includes innovative solutions like smart vision systems, force sensors, and ultrasonic sensors, all designed to enhance precision, reliability, and operational efficiency. Through extensive R&D and a commitment to customer-centric innovation, Baumer addresses complex application requirements. With subsidiaries in 19 countries and a robust partner network, Baumer delivers localized support and technical services across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
In modern processing centers, inductive sensors are the components of choice for monitoring the motor spindle clamping process. Integrated into the spindle, they must be exceptionally small and offer high repeatability to ensure smooth tool changing at all times. Baumer offers a high-performance portfolio of miniature sensors for the intelligent design of effective spindle solutions. This can either involve a classic design with three switching sensors or a smart design with one measurement sensor.
Baumer Hübner has established the class of extraordinarily resilient and reliable HeavyDuty encoders and offers a broad portfolio. Manufacturers of cranes and hoists are among the most frequent users of such sensors. And for good reason: These applications are most demanding and here they can play to their strengths - robustness, precision, resistance and longevity.
In Europe’s biggest roller coaster, the Helix at the Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg, POG 10 HeavyDuty incremental encoders from Baumer monitor the speed of the carrriage's drive as it approaches the start ramp. The HeavyDuty technology guarantees high reliability and precision under extreme environmental conditions – serving up both thrills and reassuring safety for riders.
With the new generation of universal temperature transmitters, FlexTop 2212 and 2222, Baumer is expanding its proven range of products. With integrated micro-USB port, automated cable compensation and a fast sampling time of less than 50 ms, it stands out from other commercially available products and is also suitable for demanding applications in a wide variety of areas.
