Baumer develops high-performance sensing and measurement technology for factory and process automation. Its current portfolio includes object-detection and distance sensors, absolute and incremental encoders, smart vision sensors, industrial cameras, pressure and temperature instrumentation, level and flow measurement, conductivity sensing, force and strain sensors, and IO-Link-enabled connectivity tools.
Sensor Technology for Factory and Process Automation
Founded in 1952 in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, Baumer has grown into an international family-owned sensor technology company. The current product range spans factory-automation sensing, motion feedback, machine vision, process instrumentation and force measurement, with smart functions and digital interfaces designed for connected automation systems.
Broad Sensor Technology Portfolio
Inductive, photoelectric, capacitive, ultrasonic, magnetic, radar, laser and precision-mechanical technologies address detection and measurement tasks across a wide range of machine designs.
Motion, Vision & Measurement
Encoders, smart 2D profile sensors, VeriSens vision sensors and industrial cameras extend Baumer beyond discrete sensing into speed, position, inspection and image-processing applications.
Smart Connected Devices
Many Baumer products support IO-Link and other industrial interfaces, while the Baumer Sensor Suite provides a common environment for evaluating and parameterizing smart sensor devices.

Use these product areas as a starting point for object detection, precision measurement, motion feedback, machine inspection, process instrumentation and force-monitoring applications.
Object Detection Sensors
Inductive proximity, photoelectric, fiber-optic, capacitive, ultrasonic, magnetic, edge, label and precision mechanical sensors support presence, position and object-detection tasks across industrial machinery.
Explore object detection →Distance & Precision Measurement
Laser, ultrasonic, radar and inductive distance sensors measure dimensions, position, level, width, height and other distance information. Baumer’s portfolio also includes linear magnetic encoders, measuring-wheel encoders and cable transducers.
Explore distance measurement →Rotary Encoders & Angle Sensors
Industrial and HeavyDuty absolute and incremental encoders, bearingless encoders and specialized feedback products provide speed, position and angle information for motors, machinery, cranes, hoists and demanding drive applications.
Explore encoders →Smart Vision & Industrial Cameras
VeriSens vision sensors provide compact all-in-one image processing, while smart 2D profile sensors and industrial cameras support inspection, identification, process control and vision-guided robotics.
Explore smart vision →Process Sensors
Baumer process instrumentation measures pressure, temperature, level, flow and conductivity for liquids, gases, pastes and granular media. Current families include compact 50 Series pressure, temperature and conductivity sensors.
Explore process sensors →Force & Strain Measurement
Force sensors, strain sensors, measuring amplifiers and related solutions support process monitoring and force measurement in machines, installations and tooling, including applications where large forces must be monitored with minimal influence on machine structure.

Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review the sensing target, measurement range, accuracy, repeatability, response time, mounting, environment, process connection and required electrical interface. We can also coordinate Baumer sensors with PLCs, IO-Link infrastructure, motion controls, machine vision and supporting automation hardware.
Sensor Technology Selection
Compare inductive, photoelectric, ultrasonic, capacitive, radar, laser and other technologies against the target material, distance, precision and environment.
Encoder & Motion Feedback
Review shaft style, resolution, absolute or incremental feedback, interface, speed, mechanical loading and environmental requirements for rotary-feedback applications.
Vision & Process Measurement
Match inspection, profile, pressure, temperature, level, flow, conductivity or force requirements to the appropriate Baumer sensing platform and interface.
IO-Link & WBIYII Integration
Coordinate sensors, IO-Link devices, connectivity, mounting hardware and related controls into repeatable bills of material, sensor packages or WBIYII installation kits.
Selection note: Final sensor selection should be verified against the actual target or process medium, measurement range, repeatability, accuracy, response time, environmental exposure, mounting tolerances, electrical interface, process connection and applicable machine requirements. Vision applications should also account for optics, lighting, field of view, part presentation and required image-processing performance.
Product Selection and Smart-Sensor Resources
Use these resources to explore Baumer’s current portfolio, parameterize IO-Link devices and compare supporting sensing and connectivity technologies.
Explore Supporting Automation Technologies
Baumer sensors and measurement products commonly integrate with PLCs, industrial networks, servo systems, robotics, machine-safety products and pneumatic or electric automation components.
