Sensors
At manufacturing sites for semicon-
ductors, automobiles, consumer
electronics, food, and a variety of other
products, sensing technology provides
high-precision inspection and meas-
urement of an item’s shape, position,
gaps, and other characteristics to the
nanometer scale (1 billionth of a meter),
supporting enhancement of productiv-
ity and product quality.
Safety Components
Safety components contribute
towards the creation of a safe work-
place environment. They sense a
worker’s presence in areas where
robot arms are in operation and in
other defined danger zones and auto-
matically shut down machinery or
sound an alarm.
