The benefits for you:
You won't receive a generic, off-the-shelf component, but rather a technically tailored solution for your application.This reduces:
- Voting effort
- Integration risks
- Change loops
- Installation problems
- Uncertainty before the start of production
When standard sensors are not sufficient
A standard sensor is often the right solution if the installation conditions, medium, temperature, switching point, and connection type match the specifications in the data sheet.
However, in many projects, this is not the case.
However, in many projects, this is not the case.
- The sensor does not fit properly into the assembly mechanically.
- The switching point is not in the correct position.
- The material is not suitable for this medium.
- The connection does not fit the existing structure.
- Design, development, and procurement teams waste time on follow-up questions and compromises.
Binsack will conduct a technical review of your application and, if necessary, develop a suitable design.

Sensors as a protective feature
Level, flow, and position monitoring are often critical to safety or process operations.
A properly designed sensor solution can help detect critical conditions early on, for example:
· Dry running
· Malfunctions
· Shutdown
· Rework
· Unnecessary maintenance
· Damage to pumps, systems, or equipment
That is why sensors should not be selected only at the end of the design process.
The sooner the installation space, medium, switching point, and connection are determined, the lower the risk of having to make changes later on.

Here's How a Project Works
From technical inquiries to mass production
1. Clarify requirements
We will discuss the medium, installation conditions, environmental conditions, quantities, and technical requirements.
2. Design a sensor
Based on this, we develop a proposal for a suitable sensor solution and produce prototypes as needed.
3. Test and approve the design
If needed, we can provide samples for you to test in your application. Feedback from tests or installation trials is directly incorporated into the further design process.
4. Manufacture and deliver the sensor
Once technical approval has been granted, we will handle production and deliver the sensors on schedule to meet your mass-production needs.
Faster clarification instead of searching through catalogs.
When a standard sensor isn’t a good fit, engineering and purchasing teams often waste time poring over data sheets, asking questions, and making compromises.
We’ll conduct a technical review of your application right away to determine which sensor solution is practical, feasible, and ready for mass production.
Standard sensor or custom solution?
| Standard Solution | Binsack Custom Sensor Solution |
|---|---|
| Rigid design with no customization options | Customized design, connection types, material, and switching points |
| Limited customization | Customization of design, connection, material, and switching point |
| Unclear series adjustment | Prototyping, Testing, Approval, and Mass Production |
| Often multiple interfaces | Direct technical contact at the manufacturer |
| Might be roughly right | Checked for medium, installation space, and installation |
If a standard solution is sufficient, we'll say so.
If a custom design makes sense, we'll engineer it to meet the technical requirements.

Development and manufacturing under one roof
Binsack supports OEMs with recurring needs, small- and medium-volume production runs, and custom variants.
In-house manufacturing, short lead times, and pre-shipment testing make projects easier to plan.
Our manufacturing capabilities
In-house manufacturing, short lead times, and pre-shipment testing make projects easier to plan.
Our manufacturing capabilities
Assembly and Testing
Sensors and assemblies are installed and tested before shipment. This ensures consistent quality in mass production.
Mechanical processing
Mechanical adjustments can be integrated directly into the manufacturing process.
Cable Assembly
Connection cables, connectors, and cable lengths are designed to suit the specific application.
Coil winding technology
In-house coil winding expands the possibilities for specific reed relay solutions.
Tool manufacture
Custom tools enable the production of customer-specific components and modifications.
plastic injection molding
Plastic parts can be customized to suit specific applications, such as housings, floats, or assemblies.
Quality for Mass Production
A prototype must function properly. A mass-production solution must be consistently reproducible, testable, and available.
That is why we view custom sensor technology not merely as a single component, but as a mass-produced part with clear requirements for manufacturing, testing, and supply.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sensor Solutions
When is a standard sensor no longer sufficient?
A standard sensor is insufficient when specific requirements apply—for example, when installation space is limited, the temperature range falls outside the standard range, the medium to be measured is unique, or the installation orientation differs from the standard. A customized solution is also often advisable when there are special requirements regarding materials, leak tightness, or integration into production lines.
What information is needed to design a sensor?
The following information is particularly important for an initial technical assessment:
- Medium
- Temperature range
- Installation scenario
- desired function
- Switching point or switching range
- electrical interface
- Quantity or annual requirement
What is the process for a project, from the initial inquiry through to mass production?
Typically, the project begins with a technical clarification of the requirements. This is followed by a proposed solution, including a prototype if necessary. The solution is then tested and approved. Once approved, mass production begins.
Can existing sensors be modified?
Yes. In many cases, an existing solution can be customized—for example, in terms of length, switching point, material, connection, mounting, or housing design. This is often more cost-effective than developing a completely new product from scratch.
Is it possible to build prototypes before production begins?
Yes. Prototypes are useful when the installation situation, functionality, or suitability for specific media need to be tested before production is approved. This helps reduce technical risks and minimizes the need for subsequent rounds of revisions.
What are the benefits of having development and manufacturing under one roof?
Short communication channels between development, manufacturing, and testing facilitate implementation. Changes can be evaluated more quickly and incorporated into prototypes or production runs.
What applications are level, flow, and position sensors suitable for?
Typical applications include level monitoring in tanks, flow monitoring in industrial systems, and position detection for valves, doors, limit switches, or moving components.
Is mass production also possible for OEM projects?
Yes. For OEM projects, it is crucial that technical design, approval, quality assurance, and delivery capability are taken into account early on. Binsack supports these aspects from the initial technical clarification through to series production.
For which industries does Binsack develop sensor solutions?
Binsack develops sensor solutions for technical B2B applications, including medical technology, hygiene technology, mechanical engineering, equipment manufacturing, commercial vehicles, and household appliances.
