Black Baumer sensor is compact and small like a Lego-brick, It’s designed to fit in very small spaces. The sensor features a red lens and cable.

At Tempcon, we are excited to announce the launch of the Baumer OT200, the world’s smallest time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, now available to our South African clients. Designed for demanding industrial environments where installation space is limited, the OT200 sets a new benchmark in sensor performance and reliability.

What Makes the OT200 Time-of-Flight Sensor Unique?

The new Baumer OT200 offers advanced Time-of-Flight Sensor technology in an ultra-compact housing, making it

ideal for space-constrained applications across manufacturing, packaging, robotics, and automation. Here’s why the OT200 is a game-changer for process engineers, machine builders, and OEMs:

Ultra-Compact Design: The OT200 is the smallest ToF sensor on the market, perfect for applications where every millimeter counts.
Industry-Leading Blind Zone: It features the smallest blind zone in its class, allowing you to detect objects closer to the sensor, thus optimizing space utilization in your equipment.
Impressive Detection Range: Despite its small size, the OT200 achieves a detection range of up to 2 meters, offering great flexibility in system design.

The tiniest compact Baumer sensor is no bigger than a Lego-brick.

Reliable Detection in Every Scenario

Not all objects are easy to detect especially those with challenging surfaces. The OT200 is engineered to deliver:

Consistent Performance: Accurately detects light-absorbing, shiny, or highly reflective objects, including ultra-black or mirror-like surfaces.
Versatile Sensing: Maintains reliable detection regardless of the object’s shape, structure, or material.

This makes the OT200 an ideal solution for industries such as automotive, electronics, food and beverage, and logistics, where a variety of product types and materials move along your lines.
