Machine Vision

Machine Vision is the use of devices for optical non-contact sensing to automatically receive and interpret an image of a real scene, in order to obtain information and/or control machines or processes. Fiber optic illumination facilitates optimum lighting of an object and therefore makes an important contribution to successful Machine Vision.

Examples for Machine Vision applications in which our products are used:

Final inspection of PCBs
Foil thickness inspection
Completeness inspection
Surface inspection of sheet material
Surface control of parts

A typical Machine Vision system

Our product range comprises both standard and customer-specific components, as well as high quality light sources and optical elements for putting together a complete illumination system.

Depending on the application required our illumination systems have the following characteristics:

Very high transmission
Excellent color temperature
Good fiber randomization for very even illumination
High flexibility
Mechanical stability
Chemical resistance
Temperature resistance
