Light is essential in modern industry for quality, safety, and efficiency

Hamamatsu delivers photonics solutions that enhance industrial equipment across manufacturing and inspection workflow, enabling smarter automation and more reliable production.

Why photonics solutions are vital for industrial equipment

  • Precision & Accuracy: Integrating optoelectronic sensors, light sources, and high-performance image devices into industrial equipment ensures ultra-accurate detection, measurement, and control.

  • Quality Control in Real Time: Industrial photonics solutions empower inline inspection systems—for barcode scanning, surface inspection, semiconductor metrology, and nondestructive testing (NDT).

  • Streamlined Automation: From AGVs (automated guided vehicles) to optical encoders and FA optical switches, photonics-based components play a central role in machinery communication and safety systems.

Light-based photonics solutions for industrial equipment

From barcode scanners to production line sensors and printing systems, light-based technologies play a vital role in enhancing modern industrial equipment. Our photonics solutions support a wide range of manufacturing processes by enabling greater speed, accuracy, and reliability.

 

For example, our image sensors are ideal for barcode readers used in logistics and automation. Optical sensors and light sources serve as essential components in optical encoders and optical switches, ensuring precise positioning and feedback control in industrial machinery.

 

In the printing industry, we offer a comprehensive range of components designed to support:

  • UV ink curing
  • Surface preparation for advanced treatments
  • Static electricity removal during high-speed print operations

 

To help manufacturers improve their production processes, we provide high-performance optoelectronic components—including light sources and optical sensors—that can be seamlessly integrated into tools and systems requiring light-based measurement, control, or activation.
