It's all about the contrast

Machine Vision Optical Filters for the Automation Industry

Chroma Technology produces Machine Vision, thin-film interference filters, with extremely durable sputtered coatings in various form factors and sizes that work in a variety of applications.

Machine vision is an indispensable tool of automated manufacturing and distribution systems. Automation technologies rely on vision systems with high contrast to provide accurate recognition. 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.

For vision system designers and OEMs creating application-specific or embedded machine vision systems, Chroma specializes in custom-built filters to exactly meet your challenging performance requirements at comparable prices. Our line of machine vision optical filters is suitable for a wide range of machine vision applications across a variety of markets including vision systems for industrial automation, robotic guidance, agricultural automation ("smart farming"), food sorting, Earth science/environmental monitoring, and semiconductor inspection.
