Aeva Expands Partnership with SICK
Sensing and perception systems developer Aeva has expanded its collaboration with SICK, a global supplier of solutions for sensor-based industrial applications. The companies are working to incorporate Aeva’s frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology into SICK’s portfolio of high accuracy contactless sensors for industrial applications, including for distance and motion control for a variety of factory automation applications.
Under the collaboration, Aeva plans to provide its FMCW technology to SICK, including its Aeva CoreVision sensing module and digital signal processing algorithms tuned for micrometer-precision detection at long standoff distances, as well as micrometer per second velocity measurements. By using Aeva’s FMCW technology, SICK sensors will provide precise contactless measurements on a variety of surfaces at flexible short to long stand-off distances, regardless of material, texture, or color, and can be used across a wide variety of lighting conditions.
Aeva and SICK began a multiyear collaboration
in 2022 and established a production agreement with Nikon
last November. Both agreements involve the integration of Aeva’s FMCW technology into quality control systems.
