Local company Motion Tronic has recently added two new ranges to its product portfolio: SUNX sensing and laser technology and Microsonic ultrasonic sensors.
About SUNX
SUNX technology contributes to the progress of IT and factory automation. With sensing and laser technology as a core SUNX, a global corporate, provides technology and services to fulfil a promising dream and creates a brighter future with its customers.
SUNX was first established producing sensors that perform the five basic sensing functions for automation systems. It now contributes to factory automation, particularly in production line applications for semiconductors and electronic components which require the work of industrial robots. In 1996, thanks to its effective use of composite and production technologies, it developed the laser marking system, which continued to serve the marking needs of countless products and components in a broad spectrum of industries.
