Perceptron Receives Record European Commitments

                    Perceptron Announces Personnel Changes


    PLYMOUTH, Mich., March 7 Perceptron, Inc.
today announced the receipt of significant commitments from major European
customers for new vehicle programs.  Two of these represent the largest single
commitment ever made to Perceptron by a European customer.  Combined, these
programs call for in-line gauging at a minimum of 7 plants over the next 36
months.
    Alfred A. Pease, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Our customers have clearly
recognized the advantages that Perceptron's new IPNet web-based process
measurement and control systems, and our new FMS Flexible Metrology systems,
bring to their operations.  These systems will be a key factor in reducing
vehicle launch times, in lowering manufacturing costs, and in the consistent
production of vehicles of the highest quality.  We are extremely proud of the
tireless dedication of our global automotive team."
    Perceptron also announced that Dean Massab, Sr. Vice President for
Perceptron's Global Automotive Business Segment, and Neil Dueweke, Sr. Vice
President for the Industrial Business Segment, will be leaving Perceptron
together for a new opportunity in an unrelated industry.
    "Dean and Neil worked together at Fanuc, at Perceptron, and will continue
their close association in their next employment.  They have made significant
contributions to Perceptron during the company's recent challenging period of
diversification and new product development," continued Mr. Pease.  "The
company will benefit from these accomplishments for years to come.
Additionally, both leaders built exceptionally strong teams in their business
units, teams which are very well prepared to carry on."
    Harry Rittenour, Perceptron's Vice President for Quality, will assume the
leadership of the Industrial Business Segment.  A search will begin
immediately to identify Mr. Massab's replacement.
