Industrial Optical Inspection
Flexible Configuration – Fast Step- and-Settle – Nanometer Resolution
Optical inspection is an essential process in industrial quality assurance. Optical inspection systems, which are used in industrial environments, should provide reliable and repeatable measurement results and enable high throughput rates. This also applies to the movement of the workpiece, specimen or test specimen, and to the positioning of the imaging optics. The positioning systems used, must be flexible in order to move the sample in the plane along different travel ranges and the optical components in the vertical direction.
