We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical Technology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Robots can make use of 3D vision system from
Scorpion Vision, which we summarised at the time by saying "A 3D stereo vision system a software based system that utilises two cameras which work together in the same way that a human uses two eyes, so giving a robot, for example, 3D vision".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Critical cleaning experts stage UK workshops from
Enviro Tech Europe: "Two world renowned experts in critical cleaning will be flying into the UK from the USA to stage a series of essential workshops at the 3C Contamination Control and Cleanroom Products show".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Vision Engineering
concerning its Mantis family of ergonomic stereo viewers
- take a look at Stereo inspection systems capabilities extended
which says: "A wider range of options for a family of stereo inspection systems offers extended reach, increased working distance and freedom of mobility".
Take a look also at the news release from Vision Engineering, LED illumination for stereo microscope,
as well as Cable systems feature at conference from Prysmian Cables and Systems,
and High resolution, magnetic, absolute encoder from Motor Technology.
