Since 1952, Baumer Electric has stood for Swiss precision and British know-how. This unique combination has earned us the recognition as the leading producer of superior sensing products. Where automated processes and industrial sequences require precise monitoring and feedback, Baumer electric products provide the accuracy and efficiency required. Driven by customer needs, reliability and functionality are the central requirements for product design and development.
Demand for the highest standards of quality and economy is the motivation for our development engineers in their ongoing commitment to providing customer driven automation solutions.
Thanks to a broad range of sensors, Baumer electric is always able to supply customers with best available sensor solution. Detection of the smallest objects, precise measurements of amounts or heights, part counting at extremely high speeds must be achieved with confidence, even in harsh industrial environments.
This culture of continual improvement embodies the attention to detail that has made us worldwide leader in sensing technology. We offer solutions for your automation needs from a simple position sensor to pressure and displacement measuring sensors to complex industrial solutions with intelligent image processing systems.
Today, Baumer Electric’s sensors are the eyes, the ears and the touch of leading-edge automation technology.

Distance laser technology
- With Distance - Measurably Better »
An efficient selection of the proper sensor technology for distance measurement becomes more and more important. Continuously increasing requirements to machine capacity and reduced budgets requires a lot of experience especially as regards the selection of the proper measurement process to be able to achieve a solution fitting the application.
Magnetic field sensors
- Magnetic field sensors as speed monitors! »
Magnetic field sensors are generally based on the magneto-resistive or Hall-principle. Compared to optical speed sensors, resolvers and precision potentiometers magnetic field sensors do not contain movable parts, such as shafts, bearings, code disks or slip rings. A fact allowing that they are sealed completely with a sealing compound and thus a completely sealed unit. Therefore they are tolerant to contamination of any type. Strong vibrations, which sometimes occur in rough applications, also do not affect magnetic field sensors.
My-Com Precision Switches
- The nut has now been cracked! »
Setting reference points, checking tolerances, monitoring and adjusting. All this quickly, reliably and with high accuracy: in an industrial field with unbroken trend to miniaturization and continuously more and more complex components, more than ever, a continuous challenge. Two measuring sensors My-Com and IPRM were specially designed for the above-mentioned functions. Both products have a high switch-point accuracy of 1 µm.

Small distance laser sensor
- Small unit (sensor) tackles large jobs »
To some extent today's technical systems and instruments are extremely complex configured puzzles of individual parts. Automobiles consist of dozens of subsystems with a multitude of activators, sensors, control electronics and mechanical elements. Cell phones are small miracles - so small that they can no longer be operated with normal fingers and digital cameras, filled with functions, now fit into vest pockets.
Standard sensor housing Series 20
- All from one mold »
A uniform casing design, the same calibration and start up, as well as standardized mounting- and alignment fixtures are the features of this series of sensors, which encompasses many different technologies. This results in a ltitude of advantages with construction of machines and equipment, especially where different sensor technologies are required.
