Optical System

For a Clear View at All Times – Optics with Zühlke

Optical imaging and measuring processes are becoming increasingly important in a wide variety of industries. The use of plastic in optics in particular allows compact and inexpensive solutions. Lighting systems incorporating LEDs and laser diodes is another trend that is taking the market by storm.

 

Zühlke offers you specialised knowledge in the field of optics and all the expertise you need for the integration of electronic and mechanical components. Using simulation tools, we design the optics and optimise them during the design process. Our experts build operational models or prototypes in our workshop and test them in an optical laboratory. For the transfer of the product to production, we work with you to select a suitable supplier and assist you with the transition to series production.

 

At Zühlke, you are given full support to assure the smooth integration of optical technologies in your area of application. Just ask us! We can make your ideas a reality!
