It has been announced that Roxel UK, a designer and manufacturer of solid rocket propulsion systems for land, sea and air defence systems, has acquired a VHX Series Digital Microscope from KEYENCE, to assist with rigorous testing.

Updating its vision sensor IV series, KEYENCE has introduced optical character recognition (OCR) capability that can offer a simple, three-step (1 minute) set-up routine and more stable detection through high-intensity illumination and high-performance lens technology. In addition, the ultra-compact size makes the vision sensors easy to retrofit for companies updating their equipment. 

Global supplier of sensors, measuring systems, laser markers, microscopes, and machine vision systems, KEYENCE, has been providing displacement sensors/measurement systems to a variety of industries. As the company's attempts to help customers improve their business operations, they say two things: "With all the different types of displacement sensors and measurement systems, it's difficult to make the right choice."

  Global factory automation company, KEYENCE UK, has announced its CV-X and XG-X series multi-spectrum vision systems. They now offer new levels of colour detection performance that will yield broader application potential for consistent and stable quality inspection in automated production. 

Used to inspect protective transparent resin overlays on its smart-card micromodules, Gemalto has reported improved productivity using Keyence's CV-5000 vision system. The system can quickly halt production if a defect is detected.

Keyences' range of static eliminators produce oppositely charged ions and create a high-precision ion balance. Twice as fast as the best standard system on the market, the eliminators eradicate clogging and the need for adjustments.

The new TM-3000 Series from KEYENCE opens new possibilities by performing high-speed on line two-dimensional measurements. It thus avoids off line controls which are expensive and introduce variability between operators. True measurement system, it also offers a much more accurate alternative to vision systems.

With this new sensor, Keyence makes vision sensors accessible to everyone. Affordable, quick start-up and easy to use: no need to be an expert. This new solution is highly reliable and covers 80% of vision systems requirements, making it a beneficial alternative to one or more sensors when detection needs to follow a moving target.

The new VHX-1000 Digital Microscope from KEYENCE represents the fusion of high-performance digital microscopy with precision measurement. Quick, accurate measurement and observation for the most challenging applications are rapidly becoming standard requirements for an observation system. The integration of advanced technology into a powerful, all-in-one unit launches microscopy into the next generation.
