Suhl company revolutionizes the industry with high technology
The innovative strength from Suhl
In the picturesque surroundings of the city of Suhl, the company Vision & Control has made a name for itself as a pioneer in the development of photonics-based measurement systems. The company's technologies have become established worldwide. Jürgen Geffe, the managing director, recently presented an impressive telecentric system for testing catalytic converters. This groundbreaking system is based on Fresnel technology, a process that is characterized by its high precision reported in southern Thuringia.
A delegation from the economic development working group of the Municipal Working Group Oberzentrum Südthüringen visited the company to get to know the groundbreaking technologies. The innovative approaches offer numerous industrial sectors solutions for a wide range of testing tasks. Image processing technology is constantly being developed further, and the selection of suitable technologies is often complex and requires extensive expert knowledge. The Fraunhofer Institutes bundle their know-how in this regard in order to optimally support users.
Fresnel technology in detail
Vision & Control's telecentric system does a good job, especially with its wide field lenses. These special lenses have a distortion of less than 3% and are therefore ideal for inspection tasks. Unlike conventional lenses, they make it possible to capture even large objects precisely without having to rely on multiple cameras or complicated handling systems. The robust and dust-protected designs as well as the adjustable and fixable cover ensure that the systems work reliably even under unfavorable conditions, such as Vision control explained.
Ideal for numerous applications
The possible uses of photonics-based systems are wide-ranging. From the inspection of large parts to the inspection of holes and breakthroughs to assembly and assembly checks - the telecentric large field lenses open up new perspectives in many industries. The low pixel resolutions due to the large fields of view can be compensated for by using Fresnel lenses, which ensures high measurement accuracy.
With innovative approaches and a trained eye for technological developments, Vision & Control remains at the forefront of the industry and contributes to expanding the Suhl location into a center for the latest optical technologies. So we can be excited to see what new heights the company will reach in the future.
