Baumer’s optical sensors provide the highest performance in the smallest design for any application in assembly and handling.  What makes Baumer Photoelectric Sensors a high performance product?  They work under difficult ambient light, mounting positions or object properties such as transparency, gloss or structure – the Baumer O200, O300, O500 enable reliable detection in 24/7 operation.  With integrated evaluation electronics in a miniaturized housing as well as different functional principles in every design, Baumer always offer you the ideal solution with our know-how.

Baumer's photoelectric compact sensors are designed to offer design flexibility because of their small size.  They integrate into robot arms thanks to their lightweigh and integrated electronics.  Baumer's unique qTeach and qTarget technology allow for fast installation and updated IO-Link technology allows for application specific parameterization.

Baumer qTarget is a unique system designed by Baumer to decrease sensor installation time.  The light beam of the sensor is aligned to the fixing holes.  This eliminates individual part tolerances, providing the entire sensor series with a light beam that is aligned with consistent accuracy.

Baumer's qTeach is a wear-free teach procedure for Baumer photoelectric sensors. Baumer's qTeach is a simple and convenient teach-in process that begins with a light touch to the housing using any ferromagnetic tool, such as a screwdriver.  Touch the housing once to enter the teach procedure; align the desired sensing condition and touch the housing a second time to teach   A blue LED on the sensor provides clear optical feedback during the teach procedure, blinking to indicate when the user has activated teach mode and when the teach function has been completed. To prevent in advertent reprogramming in the field, qTeach automatically locks out after five minutes of operation. Baumer O500 series sensors with qTeach eliminate damage to sensor components caused by repeated teach adjustments.

The mechanical integration of sensors into the machine design is often very demanding and complex. Especially when installation space is tight and the performance requirements for the sensor are high. Learn more about the compact sensors available from Baumer that will save you some headaches during the integration.

Can you imagine a situation when something breaks and having the ability to look at a screen to find out what is broken and then fix it? Or a solution that eliminates having to troubleshoot cables and connectors to find the broken item?
Or even better, not having to worry if you have the correct cable and connector to fix the issue because you are using wireless technology?

This is where SMC’s EX600 wireless solutions comes into play. Even though SMC is known as a pneumatic systems powerhouse, they have been leading the way in the development of wireless communications for controlling and monitoring motion systems. The future is wireless communications and with our industries current supply chain issues, now is the time to consider this innovative technology.

Thanks Mike. My name is Ellis and I cover the southeast for Finder. I am based in Atlanta, GA. I want to tell you a little more about our 7L panel light. If this is not something that you knew we offered, it might surprise you if you are just thinking Finder relays, but we have a line of very affordable, nice value proposition products for the full enclosure as well. The Finder 7L panel light is a great example of that, your guys that Scott equipment can tell you more about your pricing, you are going to be impressed. But I will just tell you a bit about the features. We are keeping it simple. Just this one form factor here about a foot wide. We have three switching modes. You can pick a PIR motion detector, nice wide field of view, it is very sensitive. You can pick an on-off button, or you can pick a no switch option if you would like to wire into a door switch.

Hi, I am Aaron Pieratt. Welcome to the Scott Equipment Company Automation Simplified video series featuring Joulin Vacuum Systems.   Today I would like to welcome Business Development Manager Philip Hart from Joulin Vacuum. In the end-of-arm tooling, collaborative robot market, I like to visit Philip and talk about processes, end of arm tooling, product availability, and what he has in the form of “why would we use Joulin products”?

Finder is well known in the controls industry. Finder has a wide range of industrial solutions for industrial applications and automation. Finder makes multipurpose relays and components for electrical panels, packaging and lift systems, products for the food & beverage sector, devices for ATEX rated explosive atmospheres and for the protection of facilities and equipment.

Precise Automation's (PreciseFlex) collaborative robots offer the flexibility of both an easy-to-use web based interface as well as an optional advanced programming environment as capable as any industrial robot. The easy-to-use Guidance Motion interface is accessible from any web enabled device and allows technicians or operators to quickly and easily setup and teach the PF3400 to perform real work.  In this video, Darren Jacobs and Michael Norman discuss the software's recovery functionality.

But traditional six axis robots are pictured here on the right. And then our SCARA design is down there at the left. Now what is different about our SCARA, which is collaborative, vs. industrial SCARA designs are the Z stroke, which is traditionally out in the front correct of a normal SCARA robot. it is only 200 millimeters, right? Twenty maximum. Okay, but as you can see, in the column, here, we have, we can have four hundred millimeters 750 or 1160 millimeters, you get a lot more of Z stroke. So, what that creates for us is what we call a cylindrical working envelope, right? Okay. And the six axis has a spherical working envelope.
