Baumer Sensors at SPS – When rethinking automation, you start with the sensor. At SPS 2026, Baumer is showcasing the potential that innovative sensor technology will bring to the smart factory of tomorrow. In Hall 4A, machinery and plant engineering manufacturers as well as automation specialists will learn how the Baumer Sensor Solution Toolbox can help make plant engineering and operation faster, more efficient and more sustainable.
The current product innovations comprise smart encoders for demanding automation and drive applications, high-performance time-of-flight sensors, and precise laser distance sensors. This year, Baumer is presenting its newly expanded portfolio of position and distance sensors under the prestigious title “Global Company of the Year”. After winning numerous product awards, the sensor expert recently received this award from Frost & Sullivan, a global player in market research – just two years later after winning the global “Enabling Technology Leadership Award” for customer-focused innovation in process sensor technology.
Check out the latest innovations in the Sensor Test & Try Zone
SPS visitors can give themselves a trial of the newcomers to the vast portfolio in the Sensor Test & Try Zone. It is a fact that when comparing data sheets, sensors of different manufacturers seem to be more or less all the same. Only practice reveals the differences. At five themed sensor display islands, users can find out for themselves that the Baumer sensors with high functional reserve capacities do not only meet the specifications on the data sheet under ideal conditions but often even go beyond in real application environments. A particular highlight of the Sensor Test & Try Zone is the big theme island IO-Link. Here, Baumer is giving proof that the complete package counts when it comes to digital interfaces. Only if everything from sensor to master is perfectly in tune with each other, IO-Link delivers its full potential. With the complete Baumer package you can achieve cycle times of less than 1 millisecond.
Smart automation starts with the sensor. Though the product highlights of the comprehensive Sensor Solution Toolbox are center stage at this point, there is even more to sensor solutions with added value. “Just as important as the right sensors is the team’s passion to work together with customers in responding best to their challenges. At SPS, we’ll demonstrate how this combination supports customers in intelligently leveraging the capabilities of modern sensor technology. We look forward to SPS and having again the opportunity to talk with innovative-conscious mechanical engineering and automation specialists about their individual challenges,” says Baumer CEO Dr. Oliver Vietze.
