Imaging Modules

are the Opto own standard Image Sensors for

Machine Builders and Integrators

Why are Imaging Modules needed?

1. Performance

Many existing 'all-in-one' sensors, optics, and smart cameras don´t meet the combined resolution and performance demands of emerging vision and inspection applications. Imaging Modules do.

2.Consistency

New 'Industry 4.0' applications and AI imaging applications require consistent images to be captured, leading to a need for dedicated, high performance optoelectronic configurations. Imaging Modules deliver those consistent images.

3.Simplicity

Users are becoming increasingly confused by the technical challenge presented by specifying a simple, high performance imaging setup in a market that is already well saturated with 'me too' products that are difficult to understand and differentiate between. Imaging Moduls convince with a simple, but high performance imaging setup.

Perfect combination of integrated optics, sensors, and lighting – tested and optimally calibrated by specialists
Significant shortening of system development times for machine builders and integrators
One image module for one image task. Thus continuously repeatable imaging performance and guaranteed redroducibility in the application
Open software architecture provides easy, seamless connectivity to virtually any image processing package
The free OptoViewer 2.0 software allows quick access, measurements and has useful plugIns
