Compact FlexiDrive positioning drives are now also available with angular gears and continuous hollow shafts. They are mounted directly on the shaft without any additional coupling components. This concept allows space-saving installation. They can be mounted from either side and offer a variety of fixing methods. An optional shaft extension allows manual adjustment even when no power is present.

The new ZDDM 050T sheet sensor from Baumer ensures the high quality of bound print products in collating machines. For this task, a 60 x 80 mm image is taken of every sheet at a specified point in rapid sequence and this image is compared to a previously taught reference image.

The SCATEC family of laser copy counters is suited to counting newspapers and magazines in one lap stream. The recognition principle used by SCATEC is based on a patented optical edge detection method. This method renders the SCATEC family extremely insensitive to colors. Matte to high-gloss printed objects (e.g., gold labels) can be reliably registered up to the maximum counting rate.

IO-Link is the new standard in the lower communication layer supported by leading automation and sensor manufacturers.

This is the motto behind Baumer's new high-grade steel sensors. Baumer is now introducing a generation of high-grade steel sensors that can be used in virtually any product. Combining this with Baumer's signature sensor miniaturization allows simple integration of the sensors into customer-designed housings.

With the new generation of line sensors PosCon and ParCon from Baumer, the edges of paper webs can be controlled more accurately, positions of wires determined more exactly or the width of a plastic profile at the outlet of an extruder measured more accurately.

Angular measurement tasks on moving equiment such as dancer arms or articulated joints are often handled using carbon-film potentiometers. The load placed on the wiper contacts by the fast, continuous motion is enormous and the resulting wear is obvious.

With EcoSpin, Baumer adds yet another innovation to the family of magnetic sensors. The flexible and modular system comprising a variety of sensor types, magnet carriers and accessories provides optimal integration into any given application.

The new MAGRES hermetic absolute multi-turn encoders contain a hermetic encapsulation for the complete electronics. This unique encapsulation provides an insurmountable protection against fluids and allows IP 68 and 69K protection.

The new UNAR sensor range from Baumer was developed specifically for use in aggressive industrial environments. The M18x1 sensor housing is made of high-quality stainless steel 1.4435 and the front of the transducer is protected by a chemically resistant Parylene coating. This is characterized by an excellent barrier effect against inorganic acids, alkalis and organic solvents, as well as steam. The sensors are thereby highly suitable for long-term use under the harshest conditions.
