Keyence is one of those amazing
Japanese companys that makes a huge range of measurement and
control products that are all superb.
Keyence makes PLCs (smallest
in the world), analog controllers, photoelectric sensors, bar
code readers, laser, ultrasonic, and inductive gauging systems,
thru-beam laser gauges, vision inspection systems, colour measurement
systems and much more.
Their superb PLC Ladder software
allows "targetless" ladder building using a simulator.
That is you don't need a PLC to test your programs, just simulate.
Have a look at their excellent
web site for full details on each product.
MasTec has sold Keyence into
the most demanding of measurement sites and always had success.
