Nikon Uses Aeva’s Eve High-Precision Sensor Technology in its Products for Automated Robotic Factory Inspections
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. AND BRIGHTON, Mich., April 28, 2026 – Aeva® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, and Nikon Metrology, LLC today announced that Aeva’s Eve high-precision sensor technology is powering Nikon Corporation’s new APDIS MV5X Laser Radar system, which has begun commercial deployment as part of the companies’ multi-year production agreement to use Aeva’s technology in Nikon’s products for high-volume automated robotic inspection and metrology applications.
The Nikon APDIS MV5X Laser Radar represents the next generation of high-precision, non-contact measurement systems, designed for automated inspection across industries including automotive, aerospace, and energy. By incorporating Aeva Eve™ high-precision sensor technology, the MV5X Laser Radar delivers enhanced measurement accuracy, faster data acquisition, and a more compact system architecture—enabling customers to scale high-throughput inspection with greater precision and efficiency.
“Our Eve high-precision sensor technology is purpose-built to bring a new level of precision and performance to sensing,” said Mina Rezk, Co-Founder and CTO of Aeva. “Its integration into Nikon’s MV5X Laser Radar highlights the ongoing scaling of our unified perception platform beyond automotive into precision industrial automation. Together with Nikon, we’re enabling the next generation of intelligent inspection systems that can measure and understand the physical world with unprecedented accuracy.”
“Nikon has a long history of delivering industry-leading metrology solutions that enable our customers to achieve the highest levels of quality and productivity,” said Yoshihiro Maki, General Manager of the Industrial Solutions Business Unit at Nikon Corporation. “By integrating Aeva’s technology into our MV5X Laser Radar, we are advancing the capabilities of automated inspection systems with improved accuracy, speed, and reliability—all within a new compact design. The MV5X Laser Radar will help manufacturers meet the growing metrology demands of modern, high-throughput production environments.”
Aeva’s Eve high-precision sensor technology is based on the company’s unified perception platform built on Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave technology, which enables key requirements for automated quality control and metrology applications including micron-level precision, improved resistance to interference, and reliable performance across a wide range of industrial environments.
Nikon’s Laser Radar systems are widely used by global manufacturers for high-accuracy inspection of components ranging from individual parts to large-scale assemblies such as vehicle bodies and aircraft structures. The MV5X Laser Radar builds on this legacy with enhanced automation capabilities and next-generation sensing powered by Aeva.
The integration of Aeva’s high-precision sensor technology into the MV5X Laser Radar further strengthens Aeva’s position in the rapidly expanding industrial automation and metrology markets, as demand grows for intelligent sensing solutions that can support high-throughput, data-driven manufacturing.
