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.
