Optics at the service of the manufacturing industry

Optical technologies play a key role in manufacturing, providing accurate and efficient measurement and quality control tools.

Optical techniques, including microscopy, spectroscopy, photometry and imaging, are used to inspect materials, characterize surfaces, detect defects and measure dimensions with micron-level accuracy. Lasers are also used for cutting, marking and welding materials, while machine vision systems automate manufacturing processes. Optical technologies are essential for guaranteeing product quality, improving the production process efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.
