Sill Optics (booth 1266) will present telecentric lenses for machine visio
Greg Blackman reports on the latest lens technology presented during Vision Stuttgart, including optics designed to withstand shock
Stemmer Imaging’s series of technology days included talks from various lens manufacturers. Here, we round up some of what was discussed at the event
Sill Optics’ telecentric lenses for applications beyond standard metrology setups will be on display at booth 1146
Sill Optics is one of only a few mid-sized companies in Germany specialized in the production of optical components. Its philosophy “100% Made in Germany” is maintained throughout its own production and supplier chain. The product range focuses on telecentric imaging lenses, standard lenses and telecentric condensers for illumination. Besides high quality, flexibility due to inhouse production and individual services are offered by them. Sill Optics is often the first choice for customised products, prototypes and small series.
