On July 19, the official public account of Keli Sensor clearance announced that recently, the company’s subsidiary Shenzhen Keli intelligent sensing Industry Development Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Liyi Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Liyi Technology“) officially signed a capital increase agreement, completing a strategic investment of tens of millions of yuan in Liyi Technology.

Public information shows that Liyi Technology was founded in 2014, the company has been committed to the field of precision optical detection research and breakthroughs, the main products for the spectral confocal displacement sensor and its application supporting products. The founder Liu Jibo has 20 years of experience in the precision measurement industry, and was a senior executive of Philips, a Fortune 500 company. The core members of the team come from Zeiss, Keens, Sainty Marine Optical and other world-renowned enterprises.

Spectral confocal sensors are the most accurate and widely used displacement sensors in the market. Compared with traditional laser sensors, spectral confocal technology not only has the characteristics of high precision and high resolution, but also can effectively avoid the influence of ambient light to ensure the accuracy and stability of measurement. This technology is not affected by transparent objects, highly reflective objects, and complex topography, and is mainly used in high-precision manufacturing scenarios such as 3C electronics, auto parts, lithium batteries, and semiconductors. For a long time, this product is mainly monopolized by foreign enterprises such as Keenshi, Omron, and LMI, and there will be export control for expensive and high-end products entering the country, and there is a risk of congestion.

In the field of spectral confocal for 9 years, the technology team continues to innovate and make breakthroughs in the underlying technology and process, and has 5 authorized invention patents and 5 authorized invention patents. The performance of its self-developed products in material adaptability, measurement shape, accuracy, resolution, miniaturization and other indicators has reached the world’s leading level. And in the mass production cost has enough competitive advantage.

At present, Lihe Technology is already the leading enterprise in the field of domestic spectral confocal sensors, and its products have been promoted and applied in hundreds of enterprises in the fields of 3C, photovoltaic, lithium battery and semiconductor, and have obtained batch purchases from many head customers. In addition to point spectral confocal products, the company’s line spectral confocal sensors and other precision measurement products are also about to be released.

In recent years, Keli Sensor has firmly implemented the development strategy of multi-physical sensor fusion, and actively laid out sensors in high-end intelligent manufacturing fields such as robots and automation equipment. Keri Sensor said that the strategic investment in Liyi technology, the company will be in the market, research and development, supply chain, production, management and other aspects of the depth of cooperation to empower Liyi technology to become the “domestic light” in the field of industrial vision sensors.
