From an Idea to a Working Imaging System
20+ Years of Experience in Professional Imaging Technology
Design • Engineering • Bench Testing • Reverse Engineering • Machine Vision • System Improvements • Consulting
We design, analyze, test, modify, repair, and improve professional imaging devices and complete imaging systems.
From an individual camera, sensor, optical component, or display to a complete automated machine-vision or specialized imaging machine, we can help transform your requirement into a practical engineering solution.
⸻
CAMERA & SENSOR SYSTEMS
Professional • Industrial • Scientific • Motion Picture
We work with:
Digital camera systems
High-speed cameras
Industrial cameras
Machine-vision cameras
CMOS and CCD sensors
Specialty imaging devices
Optical assemblies
Camera electronics
Camera control systems
Custom camera configurations
Whether you are developing a completely new camera or improving an existing imaging platform, we can evaluate the entire imaging chain.
⸻
MACHINE VISION
Let the Machine See, Measure & Decide
We develop and consult on imaging systems for:
Automated inspection
Object detection
Measurement
Quality control
Manufacturing
Scientific imaging
Positioning and alignment
High-speed inspection
Image analysis
Specialized automation
We can integrate camera + optics + illumination + electronics + mechanical system + computer processing into one complete solution.
⸻
COMPLETE IMAGING SYSTEMS
Sometimes a camera alone is not the solution.
We can help engineer a complete machine around the imaging requirement.
Camera → Optics → Lighting → Mechanics → Motion → Electronics → Processing → Display → Final Result
Applications can range from laboratory instruments and inspection machines to film scanners, specialized cameras and custom imaging equipment.
⸻
DISPLAYS & IMAGE EVALUATION
Capturing an image is only half of the imaging chain.
We can evaluate and integrate professional displays and monitoring systems for accurate visualization, measurement and image evaluation.
Services can include:
Display evaluation
Resolution testing
Color evaluation
Signal-path testing
Image comparison
Calibration workflow consulting
Camera-to-display integration
⸻
ENGINEERING & BENCH TESTING
Measure. Test. Understand. Improve.
Before modifying or manufacturing a system, we want to understand exactly how it performs.
Our engineering bench testing can evaluate:
Resolution
Dynamic range
Noise
Color response
Sensor performance
Optical performance
Illumination
Electronics
Power systems
Thermal behavior
Mechanical stability
Data and signal paths
System reliability
Testing allows engineering decisions to be based on measurable results rather than assumptions.
⸻
REVERSE ENGINEERING
Have a Machine Nobody Supports Anymore?
We specialize in investigating existing and discontinued imaging technology.
We can analyze:
Electronics
Circuit boards
Sensors
Cameras
Optics
Mechanical assemblies
Motors and motion systems
Power supplies
Communication interfaces
Control systems
The objective may be to understand, repair, reproduce, modernize or improve the original system.
⸻
IMPROVEMENTS & MODERNIZATION
Don’t Replace a Good Machine Just Because Part of It Is Old.
Many professional imaging systems contain excellent mechanical and optical engineering but outdated electronics, computers, sensors or controls.
We can investigate possibilities for modernization including:
New cameras and sensors
Modern computers
New electronics
LED illumination
Improved optics
New control interfaces
Replacement displays
Modern data storage
Faster processing
Improved cooling
Motion-control upgrades
Workflow improvements
The result can be a modern imaging platform built around equipment that already works well.
⸻
ENGINEERING CONSULTING
You may not need us to build the entire system.
We can participate as an independent imaging technology consultant during:
Concept development
Product development
Prototype evaluation
Equipment purchasing
Technical troubleshooting
System integration
Equipment restoration
Engineering review
Technology modernization
We can work alongside your own engineering team, manufacturer, integrator or technical department.
⸻
HAVE AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM?
Perfect.
Some of the most interesting engineering projects begin with:
“We need to capture something nobody has been able to image properly.”
“The manufacturer no longer supports this machine.”
“We need this camera to do something it wasn’t originally designed to do.”
“We have an imaging concept but don’t know how to build it.”
“Our existing machine works—but we know it can work better.”
That is where our experience becomes valuable.
