WAVOS – Testing of Wavefront and Beam Deflection
Our WAVOS system is designed to test and evaluate the quality of optical components made of glass or plastic by measuring the transmitted light field. The high-precision measurement of the angular field and the wavefront enables the inspection of large samples as well as the batch inspection of several parts. WAVOS is an extremely flexible and versatile measuring instrument, ideal for optical quality control.
Precise. Reliable. Fast. WAVOS enables convenient quality inspection in the optical characterization of glass and plastic components. This enables you to enhance the quality of your products and minimize variation in series production.
Quality Assurance of Optical Components
Whether in product development or in manufacturing processes – WAVOS enables the reliable assurance of the quality of optical glass and plastic components. The inspection system is particularly effective in the quality assurance of protective screens for lidar systems, where the quality requirements are high. Our integrated WAVOS software offers an objective pass/fail analysis and raw data for further detailed analyses.
Customized Systems for Angle Measurement
Our WAVOS system measures flat and curved panes as well as cylindrical shapes, protective covers or mirrors. Based on the spatially resolved angle measurement, further measured variables can be derived and used for the qualification of components. These include measurement of thickness variation, refractive power measurement, and refractive index. The test system can be tailored to suit specific requirements in terms of illumination wavelength, sample geometry, or automatic batch testing.
WAVOS enables the precise measurement of the topography and wavefront quality of a wide range of optics, including those made of plastic or glass. Its high precision, high lateral resolution, and large scanning range ensure accurate and reliable results.
Advantages of WAVOS
Reliable Quality Inspection
WAVOS guarantees precise and reliable quality inspection and evaluation of optical components in accordance with ISO-10110-14 or customer-specific requirements. The system is used to inspect components not geometrically, but in terms of their optical effect according to their actual use.
Fully Automated Measurement
During the fully automated measurement of the angular field and the wavefront, various parameters are determined to identify mechanical or thermal deviations. Automatically generated test reports are designed for 100% control in end-of-line testing.
Precisely Fitting and Versatile Solution
WAVOS is extremely flexible and efficient in terms of test piece size or measurement wavelength. The easily adaptable trays and convenient assembly also contribute to this. Customer-specific software adaptations further extend the field of application.
The WAVOS Family
WAVOS is the optimal solution for the quality inspection of plastic or glass protective screens. The automated inspection process is already in use for 100% inspection. The WAVOS cap is designed for the precise measurement of cylindrical components and hemispheres. The WAVOS cover has been developed for the inspection of flat and moderately curved samples. Both WAVOS inspection systems enable pass/fail evaluation in accordance with ISO 11010-14 or customer-specific requirements.
