New Balluff Wafer Mapping Sensor Delivers Precision in the Smallest Spaces

Balluff features the smallest LED sensor on the market

Balluff's new wafer mapping sensor, BOH00EZ, utilizes a highly precise photoelectric sensor for quick and reliable detection of semiconductor wafers and slotting errors in FOUPS - front opening unified pods. Especially designed for use with extremely thin end effectors, it features an extremely controlled and focused light spot, allowing it to detect wafers even just a few μm thick with extreme precision.


Based on photoelectric Micromote technology, it features the smallest LED sensor on the market in an impressively small sensor head - measuring in at just 2.4 x 1.5 x 7 mm. This allows it to deliver precision in even the smallest spaces.

In addition to wafer mapping, this sensor delivers capabilities that can be used for a variety of applications that require through beam sensors in a small area, such as Life Science and Food and Beverage applications.

Key features:

Multi-functional sensor head
Smallest LED sensor on the market
Very compact, extremely flexible sensor cable
Flexible adaptation to the respective application using an external amplifier

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
