Liquid Future

In the evolving world of imaging technology, liquid lenses are emerging as a groundbreaking solution for a wide range of applications. From machine vision and barcode reading to medical diagnostics and beyond, these innovative optical components are revolutionizing the way we capture and focus images. Let’s dive into the world of liquid lenses and explore why they’re becoming the go-to choice for cutting-edge imaging systems.

Customizing

In der Kamera- und Sensortechnik gibt es immer wieder individuelle Anforderungen hinsichtlich Bauform, Schnittstellen oder weiterer Spezifikationen. Daher baut Balluff mit dem Custom Design & Engineering (CDE) seit vergangenem Jahr sein Angebotsspektrum aus, um noch flexibler auf spezifische Ansprüche der Kunden einzugehen. Wie das funktioniert, erklärt Ralf Grasmann, Vice President Custom Design & Engineering bei Balluff, der inVISION.

Lichtausgleichsfilter

Lichtausgleichsfilter von Midwest Optical korrigieren künstliche Beleuchtung, damit Farben natürlicher erscheinen und ausgeglichen werden, sodass keine Softwareverarbeitung erforderlich ist.

Optics for Logistics

Bild 2 | Analysing the MTF curve (polychromatic VIS), it is observed that the performance across the image plane (coloured lines) closely approaches the diffraction limit (black line).

Cost efficient solutions with slow f/# are required for the logistics market. In response to this need, Edmund Optics has launched the E-Series, designed to fulfill the intrinsic requirements of this application space. These lenses offer significantly lower costs compared to the C and UC series, without compromising on lens performance and image quality, displaying near diffraction-limited performance.

Bright & Uniform

Until now, LEDs have dominated the illumination market by providing adequate brightness but with limited uniformity. However, nano-active fiber laser for illumination, developed by L.E.S.S. SA, surpasses LEDs in terms of brightness and uniformity, letting the user with unprecedented image quality and contrast, free of parasitic light reflections.

Essential Filters

Midwest Optical Systems is producer of quality filters, protective windows, and custom optics solutions for machine vision and beyond. inVISION spoke to Georgy Das, Director Systems & Training, about the portfolio of the company and their new products.

Das letzte Wort*

When it comes to Edmund Optics, the first thing that comes to mind for many users is lenses & filters. Your portfolio is significantly larger. How many percent do lenses actually make up of total sales?
