Industrial Applications

1. Li-ion Battery Cell Vacuum Handling

Monitoring the vacuum level during automated pick-and-place handling of delicate Li-ion battery components to ensure secure gripping.

Problem Solved

Prevents dropped components and chemical contamination. The sensor's F1a suitability (reduced Cu/Zn/Ni) ensures no heavy metal contamination degrades the battery chemistry during handling.

2. Cleanroom Inert Gas Purge Monitoring

Monitoring low-pressure inert gas supply lines in semiconductor or electronics manufacturing environments to maintain constant purge over sensitive wafers.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of particulate contamination while verifying precise low-pressure gas delivery, utilizing the sensor's verified cleanroom standards.
