Better measurements…
… at a greater speed
OPTICLINE solutions scan the workpiece to be measured opto-electronically and fully automatically in accordance with the shadow image principle. The complete workpiece contour is analyzed quickly and highly precisely thanks to the high measuring resolution per measured value.
… more efficiently
OPTICLINE solutions are the result of our decades of experience and extensive expertise in optical non-contact shaft measuring technology. Thanks to this knowledge, we can offer you sophisticated technology for both operator-controlled and fully automatic use in complete inspections.
… with versatility
OPTICLINE solutions offer you a comprehensive selection of measurement functions and evaluation options. The results can be recorded statically, positioned according to the rotation angle or dynamically, and combined with automatic measurement processes that suit your requirements.
… with reliability
Thanks to their insensitivity, precision and performance, our OPTICLINE solutions have been impressing a broad range of users worldwide for many years. Our 25 years of experience and the vast number of Jenoptik systems installed are testament to the success of the OPTICLINE range.
… with precision
OPTICLINE solutions comprise high-resolution CCD line sensors, semi-conductor LED light sources and telecentric optics of the highest quality, coordinated to work perfectly with the entire system. Sophisticated electronics and software ensure optimum processing of measurement data. Extensive adjustment and testing steps during assembly and commissioning enable consistent, exceptionally high levels of quality and precision for the camera system.

Measuring valves, spools and bolts using the Jenoptik Opticline.
HOMMEL-ETAMIC Opticline C Series
The SPC measuring stations of the HOMMEL OPTICLINE product group are designed specifically for optimum ease of operation for worker self-inspection in the production environment.
SPC measuring stations can be used via differentintegrated interfaces for the Statistical Process Control (SPC).
The production process can therefore be monitored very efficiently and influenced very close to real time by the fast result feedback.
