Automation in production environments has been commonplace for many centuries. The first automated mills date back to the 1700s and were powered by water. Modern manufacturing is now dominated by automation, which allows for consistent quality and high throughput.
As products become smaller and more complex, so do the requirements for automation machines and processes.
A critical requirement for hardware will always be accurate position data. LASER COMPONENTS offers a wide range of position-sensing detectors. These are non-contact devices with nanometre resolution and microsecond response times; perfectly suited to accurate high-speed production machines.
