Liyi Technology completed tens of millions of yuan A round of financing

In November 2022, with all the investment funds paid in place, Shenzhen Liyi Technology Co., Ltd. successfully completed the A round of financing, laying a solid foundation for the next stage of new product research and development and the company's operation and development. This round of financing is exclusively invested by Haolan Capital, with a financing amount of nearly tens of millions of yuan, mainly for market expansion, new product research and development and supplementary working capital.

The current mainstream 3D industrial vision technical routes include line laser, spectral confocal, fringe structured light, TOF, binocular and other technical routes, but the research and development of laser technology has gradually peaked, with the continuous iteration of technology, spectral confocal sensors are currently the highest accuracy in the market and can be applied to various characteristics of the surface and complex shape measurement scene of the new sensor. Its market is mainly occupied by foreign manufacturers, and the domestic production rate is low.

The principle of spectral confocal sensor is to emit a beam of white light (or multi-wavelength mixed light) through a small hole, through the lens to focus different wavelengths on the optical axis, dispersive formation of a rainbow distribution band, irradiation on the sample, part of the reflected light reflected back; The light shining at the intersection of the optical axis and the surface of the object passes through the spectral component, shines through the aperture to the spectral analyzer, and the distance from the lens to the measured object can be obtained according to the wavelength calculation. Light that does not shine at the intersection of the optical axis and the surface of the object passes through the splitter and is blocked around the other small hole.

Compared with traditional laser, spectral confocal technology has higher precision, wider material adaptability and higher stability, and can better complete the test task that has the demand for high-precision scanning.

After getting angel round financing, Liyi Technology continues to absorb high-tech and high-level talents to build a complete technology research and development team; So far, the company's point confocal has been iterated to the third generation, and currently has a huge lens group to support a variety of scene applications, a full specification coverage of the precision measurement field, and successfully entered the supply chain of Huawei, Samsung, Apple.

In addition to a number of innovations in product design, the company has also developed special instruments such as laser interference spectrum confocal calibrators prohibited for export abroad, and the process has been mass production verification, which can help products better production; In terms of performance, the sensor can achieve a 200% increase in light intensity, a 200% increase in linearity, and a 50% reduction in reflection interference. In terms of price, the product is sold at a lower price than foreign products.

The company began to develop line confocal products in 2020, and currently has a prototype, which can complete the scanning of three-dimensional shape objects, with the advantages of high accuracy, good material adaptability, no blind area, high efficiency, and can be widely used in semiconductor, new energy, 3C and other fields.

At present, the imported products of line confocal sensors account for more than 99% of the market, and the price is expensive, and the technology can solve the diffuse reflection and surface mirror material detection technology at the same time, with performance advantages.

After the completion of this round of financing, Liyi Technology will also focus on the development of commercial mass production version line confocal products. In the future, the company will continue to develop various industrial sensors such as hyperspectral +AI sensors and optical fiber sensors to enrich the product matrix and provide customers with more comprehensive solutions.

Up to now, the company's spectral confocal products in 8 years has served semiconductor, new energy and 3C, advanced manufacturing equipment, precision instruments, scientific research institutions and other fields, for BOE, Tianma and other customers have hundreds of sets of shipments. Long-term grinding, so that Liyi technology on the market demand and industry cognition continues to deepen, has now ranked first in the market share of domestic brands, product performance, technological innovation and all-round service are in the forefront of the industry.

In terms of revenue, the company is expected to complete tens of millions of revenue in 2022, which is two or three times the growth of 2021.

In the future, Lihe Technology will accelerate the expansion of the team, continue to deepen the spectral confocal sensor at the same time, continue to enrich the product matrix, use professional technical strength to serve customers, through the spectral confocal products into the core supply chain of automated industrial testing, and continue to improve brand awareness. Liyi Technology always firmly believes that under the joint efforts and promotion of the upstream and downstream partners of the industry, the new measurement technology represented by the domestic spectral confocal displacement sensor will be successful in China.
