Axis New England offers a full range of sensor solutions from the world’s leading sensor manufacturer, Omron Electronics.  These include photoelectric, proximity, measurement, vision, and ultrasonic sensors.  In addition to Omron, Axis carries Baumer sensors, a company with over 53 years of experience in manufacturing sensors for the automation industry.  We can find the right sensor for your application through testing of your product samples in our vision lab.  The next time you are looking for a sensor solution, call the experts at Axis New England.

Omron

Omron is the world’s leading manufacturer of sensing products. With over 70 years of experience, Omron has proven itself as a manufacturing problem-solver with engineering expertise in many industries.  Omron can help you improve productivity and product quality by applying advanced sensor solution to your application problems.

Featured Sensor Products:

ZG2 - The ZG2 measurement sensor is a 2D line beam sensor tool used for precisely measuring profiles, widths, heights, and angles.

ZS Measurement Sensor - The ZS is not your standard laser displacement sensor. It has built in settings that enable it to measure a variety of materials that most measurement sensors would not be able to measure, such as black rubber, mirrored surfaces, and glass. It is also incredible accurate, with resolution down to .25um on regular reflective models. Configuration of the sensor can be done without software via the easy to use button interface.

ZFV-C - The ZFV-C is a color vision sensor that can be used to distinguish between colors for basic pattern matching and presence/absence. It also has the capability to be configured to ignore particular colors in its field of view to increase contrast.

Baumer

Baumer electric is recognized as a leading producer of  sensing products for the automation industry.  With 52 years of experience, Baumer electric products provide the accuracy and efficiency required for your industrial sequences.

The Series 12 family of laser distance sensors are now also available with the serial interfaces RS232 and RS485. The laser distance sensors OADM 13 have a convincingly compact housing (13.4 x 40 x 48.2 mm) and a measuring distance of up to 550 mm. The triangulation method combined with the precise optics and an intelligent signal evaluation allows resolutions of up to 10 µm at a measuring rate of 900 µs. The sensors are available with measuring ranges of 300 and 500 mm. Depending on the application, the sensors are offered with dot shaped or linear laser beams.  Using the interface, the current data cannot only be recalled and transmitted continuously, but it can also be e.g. gauged or archived in a hold register where it can be accessed later. In case operational reasons call for a temporary shut down of the laser, the correspondent order can be transmitted through the interface.  Thanks to the compact housing, the sensor can be used even in cramped spaces and monitor the production process directly on the spot.

Baumer Microplate Well Sensor

In lab automation, the liquids used in microwell plates are frequently only available in limited quantities. This has created an ever increasing demand for a sensor that can measure minute amounts of liquid to ensure accurate level measurement. Baumer has responded to this need with the new Series 09 ultrasonic sensor. This sensor is capable of measuring into wells as small as 3.3mm in diameter and provide 0.1mm of resolution. Convert this to use with a 384 microplate, and you have volume resolution of 1.09 microliters. Also, the sensors compact size (only 9mm wide) allows you to line them up in a row for simultaneous well measurements. For 96 microwell plates, if you have 8 sensors lined up, you can scan an entire plate in one cycle, greatly reducing processing time.
