New Sensor Delivers Slip-Free Accuracy, Maintenance and Wear-Free Measurements, and Integrates Seamlessly into Any Production Line
Aeva® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced the introduction of Aeva Eve™ 1V, a high-precision, non-contact motion sensor with the potential to redefine industrial speed, length, and position measurement wherever traditional encoders and tactile sensors are used in manufacturing today. Built on Aeva’s breakthrough Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) sensing technology, Eve 1V delivers unmatched motion accuracy, repeatability, and reliability without ever touching the material.
Eve 1V is designed for a broad range of industrial and manufacturing environments including packaging and printing, construction materials, and extrusion lines. It excels in measuring both continuous materials—like webs, sheets, and rolls—and discrete goods, providing precise data for cutting, quality control, and material handling. By replacing tactile measuring wheels and complex high-cost laser velocimeters, Eve 1V offers manufacturers a more accessible, reliable, and scalable speed measurement solution.
“With Eve 1V, we’re bringing Aeva’s precision sensing expertise to a whole new class of industrial applications that measure an object’s motion in the manufacturing setting,” said Mina Rezk, Co-founder and CTO at Aeva. “By combining non-contact FMCW laser measurement with our proven performance in velocity and position sensing, Eve 1V empowers manufacturers to measure faster, more accurately, and without maintenance down-time or wear-and-tear limitations of traditional systems—ultimately enabling greater productivity and protecting the integrity of every material.”
Eve 1V employs Aeva’s advanced FMCW laser technology to precisely measure the lateral velocity, including the length, movement direction, and position of moving materials. Even in challenging conditions like start-stop operations or with short material segments, Eve 1V captures motion data with exceptional submillimeter per second accuracy. The sensor is designed to minimize any disruption or maintenance downtime to manufacturing by featuring a non-contact measurement method that reduces system wear and tear and allows for rapid “install-and-go” integration into existing production lines. Eve 1V’s compact, robust design incorporates an eye-safe Class 1 laser.
Eve 1V Key Advantages
- Material-Friendly Performance – Ideal for a variety of materials including delicate, soft, smooth, or textured surfaces where traditional tactile sensors risk damage or measurement errors.
- Slip-Free Accuracy – Eliminates slippage errors common with wheel encoders, ensuring consistent measurement quality that boosts throughput and reduces waste.
- Maintenance-Free and Without Wear – Non-contact design prevents mechanical wear-and-tear and avoids factory down-time for maintenance.
- Eye-Safe – Class 1 laser technology removes the need for special safety training or costly protective measures.
- Easy Integration – One compact housing – with low power consumption, an industrial-grade connection interface, and encoder-compatible outputs – makes Eve 1V simple to retrofit into existing manufacturing environment setups.
