Technology succeeds

where mankind alone would fail.


Today the Baumer Group is a leading international enterprise
in the field of sensors and systems. Its origin goes back to
the pioneering work of Herbert Baumer who in 1952 founded
Baumer electric, specializing in precision mechanics, initially
producing microswitches. In 1964 Helmut Vietze took over
the management. A visionary entrepreneur ventured into the
sensor market in the early 70s and transformed a small
business into an international enterprise. A company policy
of sustainability and reliability was the foundation for more
than 50 years of success and continuous growth.
In 2007 the management was transferred to the next gen-
eration, beginning the reorientation of our group. To the
outside world our innovative strategy is evident in its uniform
presentation by all members of the group and in the expan-
sion of the international sales organization.
With the traditional Baumer values proximity to customers,
quality and precision besides a distinctive innovative spirit
we shall continue to set the benchmark both in economic
and technical terms and preserve the independence of the
family business.

I enjoy working for Baumer because the corporate culture
convinces me and my personality is respected. Maria Abati
Development at Baumer
The success story of the Baumer Group is heavily marked by
innovations. In the past years, many trend setting Baumer
products have been brought to the market. Particular atten-
tion was given to miniaturization, precision and measuring
speed as well as robustness of sensors. These attributes set
Baumer products apart.
In order to realize ambitious future targets, Baumer attaches
great importance to research and development. Over 12% of
our staff, whether hard- and software engineers, designers or
process engineers, develop new products and systems. The
Baumer development teams are part of an international net-
work and cultivate close contact with research institutions
and universities. As one of the technological leaders, Baumer
strives to maintain its advantage and to protect its innumera-
ble innovations with patents.
Innovations
We dont just talk about innovations, we translate
them into products and processes! Dr. Andreas Glinz
Baumer Operations System
The mastery of all processes is the basis for consistent high
quality, reliability, flexibility and economy. In order to meet
the demanding expectations of customers, the Baumer
Operations System is mandatory for all Baumer companies.
To continuously improve our business processes we combine
lean management methods with Six Sigma to ensure zero
failure processes. The aim is to reduce non-value adding
processes to a minimum and to eliminate any form of waste-
fulness. The principle of continuous improvement has for
many years been the basis of Baumers competitiveness.





Operational Excellence in the Baumer Group stands for
Qualified staff
Lean Six Sigma (lean and zero failure processes)
Mandatory quality for our customers
Guaranteed delivery times
Lean logistics
High degree of flexibility
Production
Constant process improvement demarcates Baumer
as a reliable partner for the future. Ruedi Graf
High demands are placed on sensors in production automa-
tion. Properties like precision, reliability, robustness and
compact design are crucial factors for the functional safety
and economy of an automation solution. Sensors measure,
count, sort and monitor. They identify size, position, color,
shape or individual objects. They react to force and expan-
sion. They detect and control movement. Baumer develops
and produces sensors and provides services which fulfill the
exacting demands of diversified sectors. As one of the mar-
ket leaders, Baumer constantly sets benchmarks, striving to
keep the technical edge. In close collaboration with custom-
ers, projects are reliably and quickly realized for joint benefit
from market advantage.

its claim to excellence in factory automation.

In process automation, criteria such as safety and reliability
are of prime importance. In order to warrant these, precise
robust sensors and meters are required to guarantee faultless
measurement, control, regulation, monitoring or failure ana-
lysis. Many applications are subject to strict constraints. Tight
regulations and norms as well as certification of materials for
food processing, explosion protection, constant temperature
and media control, special process connections etc. must be
met and certified. Examples are food, beverage, pharmaceu-
tical and chemical industries.
Baumer understands customer requirements in these sectors.
Thanks to extensive experience and ongoing technological
further development, Baumer can provide reliable sensors,
meters and system solutions.

Motion Control
Whether for object or position recognition, measuring,
a miniaturized or exceptionally robust design Baumer
has the right sensor for every application. Different
sensor functions in standard housings ease assembly
for the user and limit the setup time to a minimum.
Baumer can supply a wide range from inductive to
vision sensors and advise you comprehensively.
When the need is to regulate, control and monitor
rotary or linear moving processes to establish angle
positions, turning direction and number of revolutions
of motors and spindles Baumer is one of the leading
suppliers. Whether a miniature rotary encoder, a high
resolution encoder or one in a heavy duty housing,
whether counter or spindle positioning systems, Baumer
can provide the appropriate product.
A wide range of compact drives with integrated control
and regulating electronics round off Baumers compe-
tence in positioning applications.

Baumer sensors and measuring equipment for process
technology are exceptionally precise and stable,
matching application needs to the fullest. Particularly
in extreme environmental conditions, they must deliver
exact measurements. Process automation places
extreme demands on the accuracy and reliability of
meters and sensors. Good product quality extends life
cycle, reduces maintenance cycles, increases process
safety and efficiency.

Quality assurance systems
The gluing systems sector is specialized in fully integrated automated
package solutions for gluing and their quality assurance. Baumer systems
are applied in a variety of sectors such as printing, packaging or wood
machining. To satisfy increasing production speeds and the demand for ever
improved quality, Baumer develops solid state gluing systems for millimeter-
exact adhesion at all speeds and with minimized set up and cleaning times.
Since the gluing is mostly at the end of the process, Baumer systems also
monitor other criteria as well. Modules like code identification and glue
monitoring, documenting and the rejection of defective products guarantee
faultless end production. The customer benefits from the application of
these innovative systems with markedly improved efficiency and cost
reduction.

Quality Assurance Systems
When there is a need to control the perfection of
colored, structured and treated surfaces, complex
optical monitoring systems from Baumer keep a
watchful eye on them. Tiles, floor and ceiling boards
and panels, furniture components or textiles are
inspected for surface defects by powerful cameras.
Color, pattern, shape and thickness are scanned.
The tiniest deviations, hardly visible to the naked eye
but indispensable for process stability and end pro-
duct quality, are identified and the defective materi-
als automatically rejected. The consistent modular
construction in line with customer requirements as
well as the multisensorial technology single out
Baumer as the competent partner for industrial image
processing in production with rigid requirements.

Customer requirements are often so specific that standard
components available on the market are either stretched to
the limit or do not provide an optimal solution costwise or in
performance. Custom-built OEM products whether simple
modifications of standard products or completely special
developments of complex multi-sensor systems are a parti-
cular strength of Baumer.
Sales engineers and product specialists from Baumer appre-
hend the customers needs on the spot. Qualified technical
teams with their worldwide networks develop appropriate





solutions and confer regularly with the customer. Modern
simulation and development tools underpin a progressive
