Optical Filters for Industrial Markets
Navigate the spectrum of automation with precision optical filters
Automation is reshaping industrial markets and industry, fueled by demands for greater manufacturing productivity, agile supply chains and growing adoption of new, demanding industrial standards.
As the “eyes” of automation, machine vision systems provide the clarity that enables many critical automated operations. Optical filters are a crucial component of vision systems in that they spectrally enhance what the system can see, boosting contrast by transmitting the wavelengths you want, while rejecting the wavelengths you don’t want.
With so many new technologies like multi and hyperspectral imaging, SWIR, 3D, TOF, it can be challenging to know what the best optical filters are for your machine vision application. At Chroma Technology, we're the filter experts, and we'll help you find or specify exactly the right filter for any application or technology.
Our longtime commitment to providing attentive, knowledgeable customer service and complimentary technical support makes us the partner of choice for OEMs and contract manufacturers of industrial and automation equipment.
Today’s industrial applications require optical filters with high precision, and efficiency
Machine vision technology provides solutions for automation challenges. At every phase of the manufacturing process — from packaging and assembly to quality inspection and robotic guidance — machine vision systems have become indispensable tools of industrial automation.
By measuring and detecting what the human eye cannot, machine vision provides precise spatial, spectral and temporal data required for successful automation, improving productivity and predictability. Appropriate lighting, cameras, lenses and other optics such as filters and the computer hardware and software to process and analyze images and store and distribute the data, are all important aspects of machine vision systems.
