Panasonic (formerly SUNX)  Legacy Special Use Sensors

Panasonic continually improves and upgrades its ‘special-use’ sensing devices, which are essential in major industries such as semiconductors, medical, assembly, and automotive. A few of these key products include double-feed metal sheet detection, coated and clear wafer mapping, and ultrasonic sensors for reliable detection of transparent materials.
This page highlights some of these legacy solutions that have been retired by Panasonic/Sunx, often due to advancing technology for improving your process.
We understand that, in some cases, you may require an exact replacement for these specialized devices. Ramco may still have inventory of these legacy sensing technologies. Please contact our application or technical support team for assistance in checking availability or selecting a current alternative that meets or exceeds your specific application requirements.
