1. Small Component Detection on PCB Assembly Lines
Installed on a PCB assembly line immediately after a component placement machine to verify the presence of tiny surface-mount devices (SMDs) like 0201 or 01005 packages before the board moves to the reflow oven.
Problem SolvedPrevents costly rework and scrap by catching component placement errors in real-time. The sensor's ability to detect objects as small as ø0.3mm and its ultra-thin profile allow it to be integrated into tightly packed machinery without interference.

2. Needle and Syringe Verification in Pharmaceutical Packaging
Used in an automated pharmaceutical packaging machine to confirm the presence of a needle within its cap or a syringe plunger in its barrel before the final sealing of the sterile package.
Problem SolvedEnsures product completeness and safety, which is critical in the medical field. The sensor's fast 0.5ms response time keeps pace with high-speed packaging lines, while the IP67 rating allows for washdown procedures common in pharmaceutical environments.

3. Fine Wire Breakage Detection in Coil Winding Machines
Mounted on a high-speed coil winding machine to continuously monitor a fine copper or specialty alloy wire as it is wound onto a bobbin. The sensor immediately detects if the wire breaks or runs out.
Problem SolvedMinimizes machine downtime and material waste by instantly halting the winding process upon wire breakage. The sensor's high repeatability (0.02mm) and ability to detect very small objects are essential for monitoring fine-gauge wires that other sensors might miss.
