They detect objects and measure distances over large measuring ranges of up to 18 millimetres with micrometre precision. They can be used for applications as diverse as <strong>Recording batch sizes<\/strong>which<strong> Flexible control of vibratory conveyors<\/strong> or the distance measurement of gripper jaws. Two switching points, counter values, the switching frequency and other analysis data can be evaluated directly.<\/p>\n<p>Through extended <strong>Parameter options<\/strong> With IO-Link, the sensors can be optimally adjusted to the respective application.

A disadvantage to date has been that the sensor front is sensitive to chemical cleaning agents. Baumer presents the new, chemically robust M12 miniature proximity switches \u201eUNAR 12\u201c with Parylene coating.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>UNAR-12 sensors<\/strong> are protected from hot water vapour or chemical cleaning agents thanks to the parylene-coated sensor front and an FDA-compliant stainless steel full metal housing without weak points such as LEDs. The design is compact, with a diameter of just twelve millimetres. The sensor and receiver are located in the same housing. No reflector or second sensor needs to be fitted.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Sonic lobe<\/strong> is very narrow, so that the sensor recognises individual bottles even when they are very close together. At less than six milliseconds, the response time is also very short, which enables high throughput speeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baumer at the SPS\/IPC\/Drives 2018: Hall 4A, Stand 335<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zwei neue Sensortypen f\u00fchrt Baumer in den Markt ein: die Abstandssensoren \u201eAlphaProx\u201c mit IO-Link-Schnittstelle und die chemisch robusten&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_title":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7,113],"tags":[53,55,58776,56,94],"class_list":{"0":"post-16781","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-messen-und-veranstaltungen","8":"category-produkte","9":"tag-abfuelltechnik","10":"tag-automatisieren-und-robotik","11":"tag-baumer","12":"tag-qualitaetssicherung","13":"tag-sps-ipc-drives","14":"cs-entry","15":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"vimeo_video":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
