Review 2022 – Start 2023


2022-12-27

DIOPTIC looks back on a very special year 2022. We are very proud to have implemented these significant milestones and developed innovative products with our great team. Now we are looking forward to an exciting NEW YEAR 2023 full of optimism and energy. We can´t wait to launch numerous innovative ideas. And above all we want to remain successful together with our loyal customers and trusting partners.

Automated inspection of a mirror surface with ARGOS matrix 200

What do our customers actually do with ARGOS matrix 200?

This is exactly what we ask before we individually adapt the modular ARGOS system to the needs of our customers. The ARGOS matrix 200 surface inspection system enables fully automated series inspection of optical elements at the highest level of accuracy. And thanks to our know-how, we teach it’s AI capabilities that can only be obtained from DIOPTIC by intelligently combining maximum precision and optimum efficiency.

Why would a camera manufacturer need our ARGOS matrix 200?

Have you ever been annoyed that you take photos and there a UFO hovering in the picture, always at the same spot? Most likely, this is not a UFO, but a dust particle. If it’s on the lens, it’s relatively easy to fix. Inside the camera, however, it becomes much more complicated.

Lens development: A customized lens for future ARGOS matrix systems

The ARGOS matrix surface inspection system enables inspection for scratches and defects on optical surfaces. The ARGOS matrix surface inspection system enables inspection for scratches and defects on optical surfaces. The right choice of camera sensor and lens is essential for the system. For defect sizes between 1 µm and 5 µm, modern image sensors require a lens with a magnification between 0.5x and 3x. This magnification is between that of classical camera lenses and microscope lenses. Therefore, one has to rely on special solutions that meet all requirements. Here we describe a new development of such a lens by DIOPTIC.

Applications of Spatially Resolved Angle Measurement

Components and optical systems used in the automotive sector must meet particularly high quality requirements. In the case of so-called lidar systems for environment detection, the requirements are even more demanding. Why? Because they must be highly precise, reliable and function flawlessly even under extreme conditions. The inspection system WAVOS from DIOPTIC helps to ensure that this is achieved.
