Light is essential in modern industry for quality and safety

While recent years have seen tougher demands for industrial product quality, there also seems to be no letup in the pace of technical advances to streamline and speed up production processes. To assist industrial production on this path of constant improvement, Hamamatsu offers a wide range of optoelectronic devices that help optimize production processes or ensure product quality.

Light-based tools for industrial equipment

From barcode scanners to sensors in production lines to printing presses, our products contribute in various ways to assist manufacturing processes. For example, our image sensors are ideal for barcode readers while our optical sensors and light sources are suitable components in optical encoders and optical switches. In addition, we offer several product lines suitable for various tasks in printing equipment, such as curing UV inks, preparing surfaces for special treatment, and removing static electricity during the printing process.

 

For improving production processes, we offer optoelectronic components, such as light sources and optical sensors, for integration into optical encoders, optical switches, and other tools that use light to complete tasks along a production line. See below for some examples:
