Baumer Acquires X-Sensors AG — Strengthening Force & Strain Sensing with IO-Link

Baumer acquires X-Sensors AG to advance high-precision force and strain sensing

Baumer has announced the acquisition of Swiss force-sensor specialist X-Sensors AG at the SINDEX automation fair in Bern. The move expands Baumer’s portfolio in high-precision force and strain measurement and combines two strong R&D teams to accelerate innovation.

Strategic impact and product roadmap

The acquisition extends Baumer’s offering of force and strain sensors and brings tailored solutions for OEMs. Integration will be gradual: current X-Sensors customers will retain existing channels in the short term, with product lines migrating into Baumer’s range over the medium term.

• Expanded product range: More high-precision force and strain sensors for special applications.
• Enhanced innovation: R&D integration to push IO-Link enabled smart sensing solutions.
• OEM focus: Continued support for custom sensor developments and specialized applications.

Why this matters for industry and AI-enabled automation

Smart electronic sensors and IO-Link interfaces are making force and strain measurement easier to deploy and more cost-effective. This acquisition positions Baumer to deliver sensor data that integrates smoothly into IIoT and AI-driven condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and precision control systems.
