Aeva Expands Partnership with SICK

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 12, 2024 — 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.

There are 1718 suppliers of Test & Measurement in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

metrology: Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
machine vision: Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
lidar: Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
