Edge sensors

• Toolbox for edge measurement
• Transmitted light sensors for particularly precise applications
• Smart 2D profile sensors for edge detection at extended measuring range up to 125 mm

• Sensors with incident and transmitted light principle ensure installation flexibility
• Transmitted light sensor OE60 operating on the prinicple of transmitter-receiver up to 300 mm distance
• OE40 with practical reflector bracket for plug-and-play integration
• Smart profile sensors as all-in-one incident light solution 

• Standardized interfaces allow for easy integration and evaluation of digital secondary data
• Contamination alerts for predictive maintenance prevent machine downtime

In battery production, the individual component positions to eacht other (anode, cathode and separator foil) are crucial for battery quality. The precise edge sensors from Baumer with up to 1 µm repeat accuracy contribute towars extremely precise web edge control. Baumer refrains from using high-risk materials such as zinc, copper on the electrode foil.

Reliable edge detection of transparent films with optical sensors is a major challenge in the packaging industry. OE40 edge sensor with its specialized measuring mode is up to this challenge and can will reliably measure edge positions on thin transparent films. 

The smart 2D profile sensor checks floor planks to identify any nonc-compliance of tongue and groove. By measuring the edge position, the sensor identifies depth or width of tongue and groove. The measured results are delivered straight to the system so that tool wear will be detected early on by any change in the height profile.
