What their customers say
Quotes from people at KEYENCE's customers.
“Approach KEYENCE first. When we have a problem, or a challenge that the customer brings to us, we need to partner with a company like KEYENCE to work closely with us until we can give a good solution to the customer. With the knowledge of the salespeople and the range of products that KEYENCE has, I think it's a very good partnership.”
“The 2D actually had about 40 to 50% failure. So after introducing this, it improves to like 95%. Of course there will still be 5%, but not because of the vision — basically because the product has variation. In general it meets what the requirement or the specification the customer gave us, which is 95%.”
“Our 2D inspection could not tell whether a very thin IC package was truly seated in the tray pocket, and that put an already-delivered machine at risk. Pattern projection inspection on the XG-X Series needed no more space than the 2D camera it replaced, so we could retrofit the machine on site and meet the requirement our customer had set. Since then we have used pattern projection on many other applications, because one camera can check presence, orientation and seating at once.”
“You have a very qualified and strong supporting team, and your online support is also very good. Even when the people change, the system is intact. That is one of the biggest feature about KEYENCE.”
“Auto-learning and the AI feature was a big bonus for us. Even if they add some clips, or if the O-ring becomes big, they were able to do it with the AI feature.”

“Earlier we were using probes, LVDTs and complicated mechanical systems to measure in microns. And now we are able to use the TM-X solution head — we were able to integrate it very easily. The repeatability is very good and the machine is running for more than a year successfully.”
“The first thing that impressed us was the compactness of the product and the wide range of models available. Additionally, your R&D capabilities are excellent. Over time, our measurement accuracy has improved from the millimeter range to the micron level, and it is now advancing toward sub-micron precision.”
“Previously, most quality measurements were highly dependent on operators, and the perception of quality often varied from person to person. Additionally, there was no comprehensive solution available, so we had to combine multiple instruments and technologies into a single system to achieve the desired results. As more measurement parameters were added, the system became increasingly complex, and the processing speed decreased significantly.”
“We used to measure with probes, LVDTs and complicated mechanical systems. With the TM-X Series solution head we were able to integrate measurement very easily, the repeatability is very good, and the machine has been running for more than a year successfully. As a machine tool builder, the compactness, the range of products and the ease of connectivity matter to us, and everything we need is available in one place.”
““All of them, yes. Yes, you shouldn’t hesitate.””
““If I can go a bit further without it costing me too much, and in this case it costs me nothing except a little ink, then I might as well do it!””
““The KEYENCE interface, at least on the central console, is overall quite easy for an operator to use.””
““The print is much sharper. It’s incomparable in sharpness and contrast. The little Norman cottage drawn on the box is quite small—it must measure about 5 by 4 centimeters—but the logo is ultra-sharp.””

“The devices are so reliable that we've rarely needed to contact KEYENCE, but on the few occasions I needed advice, they've been very responsive.”
“They're able to scan pretty much every barcode, even labels that aren't in the best condition.”
“With BT-A Series scanners, we can scan those locations directly, improving accuracy.”
“We've seen a notable improvement in accuracy with the KEYENCE scanners, largely because they're able to scan from much further away.”
““A CNC is a money-making tool where investing raw materials and labor can generate money; however, what is gained with the IM is a sense of trust that money cannot buy.””
““From precise measurement to rapid generation of inspection reports, it eliminates the traditional time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and significantly enhances customer trust in our products.””
““The IM’s fast, precise, and accurate measurement mode leaves no room for ambiguity, so we no longer have to doubt whether there are errors in our measurements.””
““It doesn’t just perform health checks on our products; it also helps us gain our customers’ trust. This is the priceless treasure that business owners strive for with all their might.””

From precise measurement to rapid generation of inspection reports, it eliminates the traditional time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and significantly enhances customer trust in our products.”
“Price and value are two different things. I use instruments to ensure that my drawings and products are consistent. Some money should not be saved, so as not to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.”
“Whether it is my mistake or the customer’s mistake, we ultimately have to make modifications. So why not control quality right from the source and be more cautious?”
““The more conventional companies should look into this, because it does help, in a better way, both for themselves and for their customers. You definitely invest first, then you see the return — so you have to look further out and judge whether the investment is worth it at the end of the day.””
““It allows different team members to follow the same measurement program and get consistent results. The main value is not only the machine accuracy — it is the consistent repeatability and the ease of use.””
““Instead of checking one product at a time, we can check two or three products within the same time frame. It is the same repeatability process, which is very consistent, and it gives a lot of confidence to our quality inspectors.””
““When we purchased the IM Series, we were tackling a burr issue on the part. After considering more deeply, we looked into the IM-X Series with LM head — it has better, clearer vision, and it can see the burr. That surprised us, and from there we use it for areas that cannot be seen or done otherwise.””
““The previous conventional method was hands-on teaching for everything. Right now, with KEYENCE, everything is pre-set up already, so it is much easier to train workers. Another good thing is that you also provide on-site training — that is something we appreciate.””
