About Hypersen
Hypersen develops industrial sensing hardware for robotics, inspection and precision manufacturing. Its portfolio includes six-axis force-torque sensors, solid-state 3D lidar, time-of-flight ranging sensors, high-speed cameras, optical profilometers and line or point chromatic-confocal measurement systems.
Force-torque devices add contact feedback to robot assembly, polishing and manipulation, while lidar and cameras support ranging and machine perception. Confocal and profilometry products measure surfaces and dimensions in electronics, semiconductor, battery, photovoltaic and machining lines; laser tool setters and calibration sensors serve machine tools and robot alignment. Hypersen supplies selection guides, manuals and software alongside product families from operating centres in several Chinese cities and Korea.
