O500 - The new performance category in optical sensor technology
The first series of Baumer NextGen sensors provides maximum safety and convenience
With the first O500 series, Baumer has created a new performance category in optical sensor technology through consistent innovation. Further series of Baumer NextGen sensors with new sensor principles will follow.
Fully visible display LEDs
Aline inside
Innovative, powerful CMOS Opto-ASIC for fast and temperature-stable sensors with high ambient light immunity.
Identical position of the optical axis within a sensor principle
qTarget
Thanks to an optimum sensor configuration in which the optical components are aligned towards one another by design, the light beam of the Baumer sensors always hits the defined target. qTarget reduces adjustment operations during installation thanks to the aligned optical axis

Sensor principles
-
Diffuse sensor with background suppression - precise and extremely color-independent
- Aline technology – for maximum capacity and efficiency
- Detects objects with various shapes and surfaces even more reliably
- Extremely color-independent diffuse sensor with background suppression
- Standard LED or Baumer PinPoint LED for all accuracy requirements
Your benefits: Maximum functional reliability during object detection
SmartReflect - The light barrier without a reflector- Highly reliable object detection thanks to the sensor principle
- No separate receiver/reflector required
Your benefits: No downtimes due to defective reflectors
Retro-reflective sensor – the light barrier also for reflective surfaces- Consistently high excess gain in typical applications up to 2 m
- Red light or PinPoint for all accuracy requirements
Your benefits: Longer service life thanks to increased dirt resistance
Light sources

Baumer NextGen sensors – innovation for greater safety, convenience and optimized total operating costs
Baumer qTeach - easy-to-operate, safe and wear-free
With qTeach we are introducing a new, convenient and wear-free teach procedure. The O500 sebsirs cab be taught-in just by touching them with any ferromagnetic tool. A blue LED light provides clear optical feedback. To prevent user errors, qTeach locks autonomously after 5 minutes.
Baumer qTarget - Time saving during installation
The light beam of the sensor is aligned to the fixing holes by design at Baumer. This eliminates individual part tolerances, providing the entire sensors series with a light beam that is aligned with consistent accuracy.
Baumer OneBox Design - flexibility during planning
OneBox Design stands for a new Baumer housing design. Baumer NextGen sensors feature the same dimensions, through holes and control elements for all sensor principles and technologies within the series.
Aline inside
Innovative, powerful CMOS Opto-ASIC for fast and temperature-stable sensors with high ambient light immunity.
Maximized range – freedom during development
As measured by their dimensions, O500 series sensors have the largest sensing distances and ranges. Larger ranges combined with a compact design enable more flexible selection and placement of the sensor.
Area of Applications
-
Developed for many industries. Examples:
• Packaging industry
With the new O500 series we are setting new benchmarkswith regard to reliability and convenience, thus meeting thechallenges of the packaging industry in an ideal way.
• Installation/handling and automation
When it comes to required features like precision, reliability and compact design, the O500 series offers optimum solutions for object detection and positioning.
