DSPE Knowledge Day Opto-Mechanics report

Achieving ever higher accuracy in inspection and metrology depends on the interplay between light wavelength and advanced opto-mechatronic systems.


This dynamic continues to push the boundaries of what the high-tech industry can deliver, as was demonstrated at the DSPE Knowledge Day that was organised end of October at NTS Optel in Nijmegen (NL). Topic of the day was “Opto-Mechanics – Ideas that Shape Solutions”. As featured in this Mikroniek article, industry speakers presented real-life cases, showing how ideas can be transferred into practical solutions, ready to go to market. (Image courtesy of ITEC)
