Precitec Optronik GmbH
Industrial Measurement Solutions


A range of passive, compact, lightweight optical probes offering high resolution, accuracy and repeatability measurements of form and surface texture, surface mapping plus thickness evaluation of glass bottles, windows, tubing thickness and additionally Si and GaAs wafers.

Since these are passive optical probes (ie unpowered, no electrical signal) they are idealy suited to operations in an industrial environment and are easily integrated into production lines.
