Fit for zero-defect production In every area of industry, quality objectives are continually reaching new levels; at the same time, the demands on throughput and productivity are increasing. Profitable manufacturing, high process speeds and 100% quality are essential to maintaining a competitive position. Everything revolves around realizing streamlined processes. And that applies to quality assurance as well as manufacturing. For this reason, more and more companies demand DPM (defects per million) of less than 100 from their suppliers. World-class companies must even pursue a zero defects production....

Monitoring, documentation, education Zoom optical system extend human vision in situations where the naked eye is no longer sufficient. In the macro range, zoom systems allow for a quick inspection of complete objects – for example, electronic circuits, workpieces manufactured by a machine or biological specimens. The overview of a large section offers valuable context and relationship information. You can continuously increase the magnification of selected details for closer inspection. Here, it is not the magnification level alone which determines the quality of the information, but also the...
