SmartReflect Light Barriers
Baumer's SmartReflect optical sensors are ideal for reliable level control in vibratory bowl feeders. Their design and intelligent signal processing allow them to reliably detect objects without contact, regardless of color or shape.
High performance reserve thanks to powerful processors
- Reliable switching even on highly reflective parts; extremely high resistance to dirt.
Easy installation and commissioning
- Teaching is performed underneath the bowl; the switching output activates when the light beam is interrupted by parts. Automatic parameterization via IO-Link and the qTeach® teaching method.
- Simple and well-guided qTeach teach-in method allows rapid training, saves time and prevents errors
- Universal push/pull sensor with selectable mode (NO / NC) reduces the number of required variants
Flexibility in machine design
- The Baumer OneBox design enables easy interchangeability between the U500 and O500 series optical and ultrasonic sensors thanks to a shared housing.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors detect parts in the bowl regardless of color or transparency. Variants with one or two independent switching signals are available, as well as models offering an analog measurement signal.
High process reliability with a large range of parts
- Independent of object color, gloss, or transparency
- Unsusceptible or highly resistant to dust, dirt and moisture
- U500 and UR18 are uniquely resistant to chemical and mechanical influences
- Sensor adjustment to the properties of the object, thanks to parameterization with IO-Link
Flexibility in machine design
- Cylindrical or rectangular design allows installation in practically any installation situation
- Miniaturized sensors for minimal interference contours
- Short blind regions allow measuring almost up to the sensor surface
Easy installation and start-up
- Automated parameterization with IO-Link
- Simple and well-guided qTeach teach-in method allows rapid training, saves time and prevents errors
- Universal push/pull sensor with selectable mode (NO / NC) reduces the number of required variants
Inductive Proximity Switches
For use with the sensing lever on your level control device, Baumer offers a very wide range of inductive proximity switches. Their small size and fully integrated evaluation electronics enable simple and precise integration.
High process reliability even in demanding environments
- High repeat accuracy and precise switching point
- Vibration resistant encapsulated electronics
- Robust metal housing
- Independent of object color
- High degree of temperature stability and very good EMC properties
Flexibility in machine design
- Large selection of sizes and shapes allow installation in practically any installation situation
The IFFM20 inductive sensor with a particularly large sensing distance is ideal for detecting the level of metallic parts in vibrating spiral feeders made of plastic.
Discrete assembly from below
- Gentle, non-contact detection
- Free access from above without wiring getting in the way
- Very small footprint thanks to flat and compact design
High process reliability
- Reliable detection of metal parts such as washers or nuts through the plastic floor thanks to the extra large sensing distance of up to 8 mm
- Metal housing with encapsulated electronics for maximum robustness, particularly in applications exposed to vibrations
- High repeat accuracy and precise switching point
- High degree of temperature stability and very good EMC properties
