About CAPTRON
CAPTRON develops sensing and human-machine-interface components for automated equipment. Its capacitive SENSORswitch families provide sealed, wear-free operator controls, while optical laser sensors detect metallic and non-metallic targets in assembly and production machinery. Level probes measure liquids, pastes, adhesives and bulk materials, including applications exposed to high temperatures, pressure, dirt and chemicals.
For robot cells, CAPTRON's Tool Center Point sensors measure and correct tool position along the X, Y and Z axes. Ring and fork geometries allow welding, dispensing, bonding, soldering and food-processing tools to be checked without relying on manual gauges. A URCap software extension integrates the calibration cycle into Universal Robots programmes, enabling recurring checks and automatic offset correction. The company supplies these components as machine-level sensing and calibration infrastructure for integrators and equipment manufacturers.
