At the 2025 World Manufacturing Convention, "new-quality productive forces" has emerged as a key buzzword. From chip packaging and testing to display panel manufacturing, and from automotive testing to cutting-edge quantum physics research, China's manufacturing industry is leveraging technological empowerment to accelerate its climb toward the high end of the value chain.
The self-developed high-speed cameras and sCMOS cameras by HF Agile Device Co.,Ltd serve as "microscopes for time and low light". These high-precision scientific instruments enable the manufacturing sector to explore the unknown boundaries of the physical world at the microsecond and photon level, fueling the transformation of "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."
The pan-semiconductor industry is the cornerstone of the information society, and its manufacturing and packaging-testing processes have extremely high requirements for precision and stability. During wafer manufacturing, high-speed cameras accurately capture the transient displacement of chips picked and placed by the tape-and-reel machine's nozzles, allowing clear observation of the positioning precision and stability of the suction heads and clamping jaws. In the glue path control of dispensers, high-speed cameras can capture transient images of abnormalities such as glue stringing and glue breakage under different air pressures, accurately identifying faults such as valve blockages or air pressure fluctuations.
With the popularization of new display technologies such as flexible screens, foldable screens, and large automotive screens, the touch response speed and reliability of screens have become key indicators of user experience. The Revealer high-speed camera can record the screen sliding process at a speed of thousands of frames per second. Through slow-motion playback, engineers can intuitively analyze the timing relationship between the finger sliding trajectory and the screen response points, and locate problems such as stuttering, jitter, and color distortion, providing intuitive visual basis and data support for product improvement.
The automotive industry is a typical representative of "new-quality productive forces". Driven by the trends of electrification and intelligentization, it has put forward more stringent requirements for R&D and testing.
In a national-level automobile crash laboratory, the Revealer high-speed camera fully records the collision process of vehicles moving at 50 km/h at a speed of 2000 frames per second (fps) with 4K resolution. In the slow-motion playback, details such as the deployment timing of airbags, the crumple path of the vehicle body structure, and the force-bearing posture of dummy models can be observed, providing image evidence for improving vehicle body design and optimizing restraint systems.
In automotive wind tunnel tests, the Revealer high-speed camera, combined with Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technology, visually presents the vibration and deformation of the automobile body structure under different wind speeds, offering valuable data for the optimization of automotive aerodynamics.
The development of "new-quality productive forces" requires not only application-oriented innovations for industries but also forward-looking frontier scientific innovations. In quantum physics laboratories, researchers have used the Revealer high-sensitivity, low-noise scientific-grade sCMOS cameras to successfully capture the relaxation process of an ideal isolated quantum system (cold ion cloud) from a non-equilibrium state to a steady state. This provides intuitive observation evidence for verifying quantum fluctuations and entanglement, as well as for researching topological photonics.
From "chips" to "screens", and from "automobiles" to the "integration" of the unknown, HF Agile Device Co.,Ltd is rooted in Hefei, a highland of innovation. It focuses on independent innovation in high-speed visual perception and measurement technologies, turning the "impossible" into the "possible". The wide application of its Revealer high-speed cameras and scientific cameras in key fields such as "Chip, Display, Automobile & Integration" is a microcosm of the development of new-quality productive forces by Chinese private enterprises. With the corporate vision of "enabling humans and artificial intelligences to better perceive the world", HF Agile Device Co.,Ltd will firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development, providing "Chinese solutions" and contributing "Hefei wisdom" to the development of the global manufacturing industry.
