Non-Corrosive Sensors from Baumer

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 by Caryl Clement

Baumer Electric Sensors are among the best available.  Now, the inductive outdoor sensors IFRR (proximity switches) and IWRR (distance -measuring sensors) by Baumer have passed the latest corrosion tests with flying colors. Both sensors meet the requirements of the highest corrosiveness category C5-M. Both sensors are therefore ideally suited to use in demanding ambient conditions at sea or on the coast, e.g. in wind power stations.

IFFR non corrosive sensors Baumer ElectricDigital inductive sensors are mainly used to detect the nacelle position and the rotor speed. Measuring sensors are applied for monitoring the brakes and the shaft deflection. To meet the requirements of the maximum corrosiveness category C5-M, the sensors were subjected to a 1440-hour or 60-day salt spray test in accordance with ISO 9227, followed by a 720-hour condensation-water resistance test in accordance with ISO 6270. The results show that these inductive sensors meet the highest corrosion resistance demands, and Baumer can guarantee a very long service life for its products.

A New Dimension In Speed

Thursday, December 8, 2011 by David Sheets
Baumer has developed the fastest ultrasonic sensor in the world!UNAM12

The response time of the new ultrasonic sensor from Baumer is just over one millisecond.  This makes the UNAM 12 ultrasonic sensor around 20 times faster than the traditional ultrasonic sensors, and the fastest sensor of its type in the world.

Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Baumer distributor.

The Baumer UNAM 12 combines the advantages of ultrasonic technology with a short response time of 1.3 milliseconds which is the equivalent of an photoelectric sensor.  The sensor is therefore perfect for use in high-speed processes and make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency in automation.

The UNAM 12 detects, for example, the presence of highly transparent packaging materials such as foils, bottles, wafers or glass, etc. controls the continuous production flow.

In order to provide maximum operational safety, the ultrasonic technology can guarantee problem-free operation of the sensor, regardless of the degree of soiling or the object color.

Innovation for the Beverage Industry

Monday, November 14, 2011 by David Sheets
Baumer recently introduced a real attention-grabber for the beverage industry---SmartReflect, thesmart
 first light barrier that operates without a reflector and recognizes all types of beverage packaging, including transparent glass or plastic bottles.

Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Baumer distributor. 


In Baumer SmartReflect light barriers, the light beam is closed by, for instance, a machine component.  Detection takes place regardless of the color and material of the background and the relevant object.  This dispenses with the separate reflectors or receivers customarily required until now.

In the beverage industry, photoelectric sensors or light barriers are most commonly used in filling and packaging applications. Especially for such operations, Baumer offers SmartReflect in a hygiene-and-washdown design with protection class IP 69K and its proTect+ leaktight concept.

New Atex-approved LBFS level switch from Baumer

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 by David Sheets
Baumer's multi-purpose LBFS level switch is now available in three different ATEX configurations which enable safe level detection in explosive gaseous and dusty atmospheres, typically found in the chemical, pharmaceutical, or food industries.

Marshall Wolf Automation is a full-line industrial automation distributor and an authorized Baumer distributor.

Baumer uses a highly specialized protective design for the ATEX versions of the LBFS.  Thanks to this, versions Ex ta for dust (zones 20, 21 and 22) and EX nA for gas (zone 2) can be used without a Zener barrier because the housing itself already provides all the necessary protection.  This is very cost-effective because usually all sensors for hazardous areas require a Zener barrier.

Baumer Laser Sensor News

Thursday, August 18, 2011 by David Sheets
Baumer has expanded its portfolio of distance measuring sensors with the OADM 260 laser distance sensor.  The new time of flight technology sensor measures distances up to 13 meters.  With its compact housing it is one of the smallest and at the same time most powerful sensors on the market.

OADM260

Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Baumer Electric distributor.

The OADM 260 laser distance sensor is especially suited for path measurements in large-format machines, i.e. in wood, metal, or paper processing, or in hydraulic lifts and raised platforms.  The repeat accuracy (+/- 5mm), linearity (+/- 20mm) and short measuring repetition rate 0f 10 ms allow precise measurements even on moving objects. 

The compact design of the sensor facilitates its integration into the application.  The measuring range of the OADM can be adjusted via a teach-in button or the connector cable.  The robust metal housing, the washable glass pane, and protection class IP 67 guarantee a high durability, even in harsh industrial applications.

We Have Your Industrial Automation Sensor!

Tuesday, June 14, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
Inductive proximity sensors basically let you know if something is there (parts presence), detect and confirm features, verify a hole presence or absence and many other applications.

Inductive proximity sensors are competitive, reliable and accurate. Relatively rugged and they are generally the most popular choice if the target you are detecting is metal.

industrial sensorsCapacitive proximity sensors are similar to inductive but they product an electrostatic field instead of an electromagnetic one.

Capacitive proximity sensors will sense metal as well as nonmetallic materials such as paper, glass, liquids, and cloth. Level detection through a barrier is a popular application for a capacitive proximity sensor.

Photoelectric sensors are available in different models including through-beam (using a transmitter and receiver), retro-reflective (using a reflector), diffuse reflective and many other application specific models.

Photoelectric sensors can be used for metallic or non-metallic targets.

Laser sensors use a variety of methods to effectively detect product details. These sensors are also capable of long-range position detection and target color will not affect these.

Marshall Wolf Automation is your industrial automation distributor for a full range of sensors.

We are authorized, stocking distributors for all the top sensor manufacturers including:

Pepperl + Fuchs, Baumer Electric sensors, Carlo Gavazzi sensors, Altech, Autonics and Panasonic (formerly SUNX sensors)
