Free On-Site Demonstrations: See KEYENCE Products Tested on Your Own Parts

If You're Facing an Investment Decision

Before you choose a sensor, a measurement system, or a vision solution, you want to know whether it will reliably solve the task on your specific part. Datasheets only answer that in part. That is exactly what an on-site demonstration is for.

Typical situations where customers request a demonstration:

• You want to confirm that a hard-to-read or direct part marking (DPM) code will read reliably before you switch.
• You are not sure whether laser marking on your specific material will give you the result you want.
• You want to back up a visual inspection with your real good and bad parts, instead of judging it on a sample.
• You are evaluating several suppliers at once and want to compare the solutions under the same conditions.
• You want to demonstrate the solution internally, for example to quality assurance or to management, before the budget is approved.

In all of these cases, you are not testing on a lab example but on your own application.

How a Demonstration Works

• Clarify the task. You describe the measurement or inspection task. The expert works out ahead of time which product and configuration fit your material, geometry, and cycle time.
• Test on site. The expert brings the product along and tests the application with your own parts, right at your plant. Demonstrations can be arranged at your facility.
• Evaluate the result. You see the result on your real parts and discuss whether, and how well, the task is solved.

Afterward, if you like, you can try the product yourself as a trial unit in your equipment for an agreed period.

Why KEYENCE Can Test Products This Way

The reason is direct sales. In its main markets, KEYENCE serves customers through its own sales and application organization, with no middlemen. That means the same technically trained expert who understands your application can also bring the product to you and demonstrate it under your real conditions.

Availability helps too. With its own network of 250 offices in 46 countries, a contact is reachable in your region. For many common products, stock is available, so a demonstration can be scheduled on short notice. That ties the demonstration to two other strengths you may already know: fast same-day shipping from stock and support from our own experts instead of through dealers. You can find out more on KEYENCE's global network page.

Which Products Can Be Demonstrated

Demonstrations are possible for nearly all products across the main product areas:

• Code readers. Check read rates on your real codes and labels, even on poorly printed or direct-marked parts.
• Laser markers. Try the marking result on your specific material and determine the right solution for your application.
• Displacement and distance sensors. Measure on your actual surface and part geometry.
• Machine vision. Back up the inspection task with your good and bad parts.
• Digital microscopes. View, measure, and document your own samples.
• 3D measurement systems. Scan your part and define the right measurement strategy.
