Photoelectric sensors

Detecting objects, measuring distances, recognizing colors

Baumer’s innovative photoelectric sensors have been successfully employed for years in numerous industrial fields, where they can securely solve even the trickiest detection and measurement problems. A wide variety of employed sensor technologies forms the basis for an extremely broad area of application.

Photoelectric sensors are characterized by:

  • Their high resolution
  • Their very rapid response times
  • Their easily visible light dot
  • A variety of different beam shapes and light sources to increase their application range
  • Objects can be detected either dependent on their materials, or independently thereof
  • An established and well-known technology.

Measuring sensors – Measurably better

Many applications require the collection of far more information than merely the presence or absence of an object. Under even the most difficult surface conditions, our sensors measure with precision and a high clock rate. More information
