Is The Baumer OADM 20 My Best Option?

Question:

I am a graduate student at Rutgers University. I was looking at the Baumer OADM 20 sensors. I noticed there was both fixed range (OADM 20I 44/45) and variable range (OADM 20I 64/65). I was hoping you could explain the difference to me.

I'm looking for a distance measuring sensor that can measure a moving target over a range of 711mm with an accuracy of about 1 mm or better. Do you carry other products that might suit my needs beside the OADM 20?

Answer:

What they mean by “fixed and “variable”  is the fixed has a set distance, no distance adjustment. A variable will actually allow you to set the overall distance. Both units offer an analog output so by scaling this output in your control will get you where you need to go. I would stay with the OADM 20I 44/45. This has the correct distance capability and .5 mm accuracy.

Need Presence Detection? We Have You Covered.

if you need to detect the presence of something in your application, there are a numbers of ways we can help you do it!

  • Inductive Proximity Sensors - A classic sensor for detecting metal objects
  • Photoelectric Sensors - Tried and tested technology can solve even the most critical object detection issues
  • Ultrasonic Sensors - Reliable detection, independent of color or transparency
  • Capacitive Proximity Sensors - detect metallic, non-metallic, transparent, opaque, liquid and solid, conductive and non-conductive substances reliably without the need for contact

  • Magnetic Sensors - These long-running sensors perform up to 20,000 measurements per second, use contactless measuring methods and are maintenance and wear-free

Within each of these sensor categories we offer a number of brands. Baumer Electric, Pepperl+Fuchs, IDEC, Carlo Gavazzi, Takex, Autonics... you name it, we are authorized for it.

Tired of Clogged Tuning Forks?

Inaccurate readings caused by clogged tuning forks are now a thing of the past!

Vibration level switches have vibrating forks that can be quite large and protrude quite a bit into the material being measured.

Coarse granular media can easily become lodged between the forks, pasty materials stick to the forks and they are just difficult to clean! This all can cause measuring errors.

With Baumer's CleverLevel switches no media can accumulate on the sensors. You can count on a precise and reliable level detection.

Baumer's new CleverLevel series takes these sensors to a new level!

Baumer IFBR 17 Hygienic Inductive Sensors, FDA-Compliant!

Ideal for food and beverage applications!

Baumer offers more high-precision sensing solutions in more technology groups than any other company in the world!

Baumer can handle simple monitoring applications up to complex remote wireless intelligence systems. Engineers are on staff to assist you with your applications!

The new sensors with their plane, groove-free V4A stainless steel housings as well as the mounting accessories are compliant with hygienic standards, Ecolab-approved, and the materials are FDA-compliant. Along with the range of EHEDG-certified reflectors and Ecolab-approved cables with protection class IP 69K, Baumer offers a complete solution for position detection in the food zone.

For applications in the splash zone Baumer offers adequate sensors with washdown design. These sensors are as resistant against detergents and high-pressure splash water as those in hygienic design, but they are mounted conventionally.

With the specifically developed impermeability concept proTect+ Baumer guarantees a higher sensor performance and life-time. For this purpose the sensors are exposed to continuously changing temperature cycles in addition to the IP 68 and IP 69K impermeability tests.

Inductive sensors have a particularly large operating temperature range from -40 to +80 °C. This offers versatile fields of application from the processing of frozen products to areas with CIP processes.
