20 years of customized sensor and camera development
„How do you build a practical camera for industrial applications?”
That was the question that guided Dr. Peter Schwider out of research and
into the practical arena – and motivated him to found Photonfocus. The
company celebrates the 20th anniversary of its founding this year, and
demonstrates that its developments are still characterized by an
innovative spirit and a keen focus on customer benefits with the new UV
CMOS camera from the MV4 series.
The first CMOS sensor with global shutter and trigger formed the basis
for the success of Photonfocus. With this product, the company proved
that CMOS sensors were fully competitive against the then dominant CCD
sensors. The first A1024 sensor is still sold today and, with its very
high full well capacity, is still regarded as a benchmark in the market.
This laid the groundwork for the triumph of CMOS technology for
industrial use, making it a real milestone for Photonfocus and CMOS
sensors alike.
On the basis of this and numerous other groundbreaking proprietary
Photonfocus technologies, such as LinLog© technology for high-contrast
images with high dynamic range, the company develops and produces
sensors and cameras for many different applications. Thanks to the
modular concept, individual components such as sensors, processors and
interfaces can quickly be adapted to standard Photonfocus cameras,
making them ideally suited for quick and easy integration into
industrial systems.
The latest development of the company, which has been part of ISRA
VISION since 2019, is the recently unveiled and award winning UV camera
that combines deep UV image acquisition and CMOS global shutter
technology. The result is images without any shearing effect that enable
3D applications in the UV range, thus opening up completely new areas of
application.
