Technology

A deep understanding of the nature of optics and their advanced features is at the core of our capabilities. In our 30 years of experience in developing optical solutions for advanced imaging applications, we have refined a comprehensive knowledge of what optics can achieve. This knowledge enables us to deliver highly efficient optical solutions that balance economy with performance.

What is an OEM Imaging module?

A unique subassembly embedded in a machine or device that includes an optical imaging system designed to perform a specific imaging task within the specified specifications of the device.

The "new" Imaging Module

is a family of application specific imaging modules designed around a common optical device architecture.

The optical modules, with a common design, allow us to realize different configurations of sensors and technologies to provide a standard for a wide range of applications.

For System Builders and Machine Manufacturers, we offer access to our long-standing Competence in designing OEM ready SW solutions. 

We design User Interfaces for desktop and mobile use. We integrate mechanical axis and other sensors in one software environment. Motion Control, Light Control, Autofocus, Object tracking as well as Memory Management and Big Data analysis is part of the disciplines we can add to your solution. 

Our own Software toolbox allows us to extract quickly custom-made Software solutions.

When it is about Image Analysis needs, designing HMI, Process recording and control, Data and Network Management (Deep Learning) Opto is your choice. 

We program with Halcon and Vision Builder NI, Open CV, C++, and more to choose the best solution for you. 

  With our own solino Technology we are able to serve you with unique and newest computational methods to add immediately value to your product. 

Combining Imaging Modules with Motion is a regular demand for our OEM Customers. 

• Own Motorized Zooms
• Several Autofocus Modules
• Precise and fast Micro / Nano X-Y positioning
• Own designs of motorized High-Speed Fluorescence Filter Wheels
• Own motorized objective changer solutions

Are integrated in hundreds of machines around the globe.

Together with own specific controllers, we also have many own drivers and Software interfaces ready to quickly integrate the solutions in customers Interface and Logistic.

In most cases, our customers need more than just one component. This is reinforced by the fact that nowadays OEM´s and system providers want to integrate more and more benefits into their machines. This calls for a partner who can offer these added values in an integrated solution, combining optics, mechanics, software and electronics into an optimal whole. 

We design optics, mechanics, electronics and glue them together with our Software competence to complete OEM solutions for series production.

Opto offers this capability - from simple CAD design to complete manufacturing drawings for systems, from highly specialized lenses to complex optical assemblies, from simple mobile image analysis to automated in-line inspection systems - we have all the necessary resources in-house.

As an ISO 9001 accredited facility, we continuously research and invest in the latest machining and finishing techniques, including 3D and additive manufacturing as well as conventional 7-axis CNC machining. With facilities both in Germany and Asia, we are able to scale manufacturing to the technical and commercial requirements of a project, be it initial prototyping or series production.
