Distributed optical sensor surface concept for planar object detection: Using optical fibers as a vision distributor

With the ever-increasing demand for a more efficient production process, the thickness of silicon wafers for the solar cell industry has shown a decreasing trend over the years. This makes the substrates more and more fragile, with an increasing breakage rate as a result. Research at the TU Delft has been done on contactless handling, using air...
