New Balluff Wafer Mapping Sensor Delivers Precision in the Smallest Spaces

FLORENCE, Ky, Jan. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 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 m 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
