Sensor Solutions in Feeding Technology
Maximum system availability through application stability and flexible sensor solutions
Automating assembly processes begins with feeding individual parts or workpieces. Whether fasteners, washers, O-rings or plastic parts, the variety of these parts is as wide as their use across many different industries — from automotive to pharmaceutical/medical technology, from consumer goods to electronics, and from food to packaging.
Whatever the application, the task of feeding systems is always the same: to separate parts as gently as possible and make them available individually, in a defined position, for the next process step. In addition, test stations integrated into the system sort out faulty parts at an early stage, guaranteeing the best possible material flow.
Comprehensive sensor solutions from a single source
Baumer offers comprehensive sensor solutions from a single source for assembly and handling applications: reliable detection and precise positioning with optical and inductive sensors, level measurement with ultrasonic sensors, and image-based quality control with smart vision sensors.
This broad product range makes it possible to select the right sensor technology at every stage of the feeding system — from the hopper outlet to the buffer zone and the separation station — maximizing system availability.
