| | | First developments of measurement- and control-systems starting in 1969. First projects were computerized controls for electron beam welding machines, peripheral components for machine attached computers like optocouplers, AD-converters, high-voltage-controllers, deflection units or missile-controllers. In 1972 the first optical measurement system for the detection of the eye-movement was developed. This system was able to detect rapid eye movements exactly. The contactless system could also control X/Y-mirrors for the generation of stabilized pictures ofthe retina.

First pilot projects were optical pre-crash- sensors for cars, optical 2D-scanners for securitysystems. The optical triangulation distance sensors became a standard product, as well as in 1994 the scanner for 2D- and 3D-measurements. The MEL GmbH is still a development company for customer specific solutions and is well known for its high-tech products throughout the automotive industry. 2D-Laser scanners are used for quality assurance ofmechanical parts orforgap finding or seam control with welding robots. | | |

Beginning in 1975, electronic was developed for stratospheric reseach missiles. Many missiles have been operated with the directional control UNISTAB which had been developed by Mr. Langer. | | |
