„Standard must not mean ‘average“.„ The Baumer Group attaches great importance to this. The sensors from the manufacturer based in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, therefore endeavours to offer more than the usual with its standard products. The manufacturer of sensors, encoders, measuring instruments and components for automated image processing describes this product philosophy as “Beyond the Standard".
Manufacturing companies that are in international competition are dependent on standardisation in order to be able to Production efficiency leads to Baumer out. Sensor manufacturers are faced with the dilemma that every application requires the right technical solution. Standardisation often reaches its limits here. Specialised individual solutions sometimes seem to be unavoidable.
Standardisation offers many advantages
According to Baumer, standardisation offers many advantages. As familiar components are reused, this speeds up product development. There are usually fewer errors. It also reduces the Operating costs, because component storage becomes easier and Replacement components are available more quickly.
According to Baumer, the desire for flexible production only appears to contradict the desire for standardisation. Sensor manufacturers could produce extensive variants of their Standard products in order to be able to respond to the large number of customer applications. This enables the customer to easily select the right and most suitable solution from an established, comprehensive range. optimal solution to select.
Key questions for the right sensor selection
Which variant is to be selected is then decided on the basis of a few key questions. These include the desired Sensor technology and the sensor principle, the Performance requirements in terms of speed and accuracy. The design, mounting method and housing size should also be taken into consideration. Finally, it is important to know whether the sensor should be flexibly adjustable or cover fixed measuring ranges.
The Baumer Group confidently states that it offers more than the usual in all the areas mentioned. One Special solution The customer only needs a new sensor if the application is too specialised for the standard sensors in the portfolio to cover these equipment requirements.
The Swiss manufacturer also refers to its extensive expertise in the Sensor physics, the intelligent processing of sensor signals and the high level of Construction quality of its products. Baumer products are particularly resistant to Temperature fluctuations, mechanical loads and aggressive atmospheric influences. Last but not least, the sensors are easy to operate and integrate into the respective designs.
