Automotive Manufacturing: Sensor applications have been around for a long time, and after years of development, the automotive market has become one of the fastest growing automotive markets in the world. With the increase in automobile sales, industrial sensor applications are also growing rapidly. Miniaturized, multi-functional, integrated and intelligent sensors will gradually replace the traditional sensors and become the mainstream of automotive sensors.

In addition to the configuration of sensing systems to the car, in the automobile manufacturing process, the application of sensors has long been no longer new. In the automation process of automobile production, the position detection of parts has become an important part of the sensor application, and it is also the most demanding part of the sensor. In order to meet the highly accurate detection, high-precision sensors have been widely used in automotive parts processing, engine manufacturing, automotive plant stamping, painting, welding, assembly and other automated production of a variety of position detection.

"RFID technology is mainly used to realize the traceability of automotive parts and the management of warehousing logistics of automotive parts, and the IO-Link solution mainly helps automobile manufacturers to realize the remote monitoring of production and the collection of big data, all of which are in 'Industry 4.0' interface." It is the industry's ever-increasing requirements for production technology that keep the application of sensors in this field up to date, and automotive manufacturing has become an important engine for driving sensor technology innovation.

Electronics Manufacturing Industry: Sensors Meet High-Precision Detection

The popularity of consumer electronics products in recent years has led to the rapid development of the electronics manufacturing industry, accelerating the pace of the electronics manufacturing industry. Consumer demand for its use from the level of gradual tendency to the pursuit of trends, thus promoting the accelerated development of consumer electronics in the development, design and manufacturing level.

In the face of the rapidly expanding market, electronics manufacturing equipment is also being optimized and updated in the direction of increasing efficiency, improving yields, and enhancing the safety of equipment operation. At the same time, in order to meet the market demand, the electronics manufacturing industry a large number of industrial sensors, in order to comprehensively improve the overall production capacity.

In the production line of electronic manufacturing, whether it is robot assembly or electronic component inspection, the application of vision sensing equipment is indispensable.

Industrial Robots: Sensors Give Them Perception

In recent years, machine for man has become a craze, and the market for industrial robots is booming. In order to make robots more adaptable and detect the operating environment in a timely manner, a large number of sensing devices are applied to robots, and these sensors improve the working conditions of the robots so that they can more adequately perform complex tasks.

In a robot, tactile sensors, vision sensors, force sensors, proximity sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and auditory sensors are integrated to ensure that the robot works as well as a human would. Many collaborative robots have integrated moment sensors and cameras to ensure a better perspective during operations while keeping the work area safe.

A vision sensor is a camera that can perform a variety of tasks. From detecting moving objects to positioning parts on a conveyor belt, so that the robot can properly adjust its movements according to the information it receives; if the vision sensor gives the robot eyes, the force sensor gives the robot a sense of touch, and the torque sensor is utilized to sense the strength of the end-effector; in addition to considering the normal operation of the robot itself, in order to ensure the safety of the operators, the robot should also be equipped with a safety In addition to considering the normal operation of the robot itself, in order to ensure the safety of the operator, the robot should also be installed with a safety sensor, which triggers an emergency stop when the robot senses abnormal strength, thus ensuring the safety of the operator.

Food Processing and Packaging: A Must for Enhanced Automation

Food safety issues are becoming more and more prominent, people pay more and more attention to food safety, so the food testing technology put forward refined requirements. In the past, food machinery manufacturers ignored the application of food testing technology, and with the machine performance improvement, food testing technology will have more room for development. In food testing technology, sensors play an important role, the food temperature, location and other data acquisition helps a lot. The application of sensors not only improves the production of food, but also protects the safety of food.
