Vision & Control GmbH – Imaging Solutions for Electronics, Semiconductor Manufacturing and Glass Inspection
Vision & Control GmbH, based in Suhl, Germany, is a trusted systems provider of optical inspection solutions for high-precision industrial environments. The company’s optical components and systems are specifically designed for demanding applications in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, produktronics, and automated glass inspection—where maximum precision, repeatability, and process reliability are essential.
Optical Precision for Microstructure Inspection
In electronics and semiconductor production, fine structures and micro-defects must be reliably detected—regardless of surface properties, reflections, or material transparency. Vision & Control offers application-specific telecentric lenses, high-resolution optical systems, and high-performance LED lighting with tailored spectral characteristics. These enable detailed, distortion-free imaging with consistent depth of field—critical for inspecting bond wires, traces, solder paste deposits, or IC packaging.
Stable Imaging Under Complex Conditions
The company’s modular image processing components are optimized for inline industrial processes. In glass inspection—such as display panels, optical substrates, or packaging glass—adaptive lighting techniques (brightfield, darkfield, transmitted light) and polarized illumination provide high contrast, even with transparent or reflective surfaces. Microcracks, inclusions, stress zones, or coating defects can thus be reliably detected and classified.
Seamless Integration into High-Speed Production Lines
Produktronics applications demand not only high image quality but also short cycle times and precise synchronization with manufacturing processes. Vision & Control develops robust components with industrial-grade interfaces (GigE Vision, CoaXPress, IO-Link) and real-time triggering. Combined with thermally stable designs and optional cooling, these systems are built for continuous high-speed inspection in production environments.
Custom OEM Solutions
For machine builders and system integrators in electronics and glass processing, Vision & Control offers OEM partnerships—from mechanical integration of optics into compact assemblies to application-optimized lighting wavelengths, custom mounts, and documented calibration. Special emphasis is placed on long-term delivery reliability and reproducible quality—critical factors in highly regulated industries requiring traceability and compliance with international standards.
Future-Proof Technology for Advanced Manufacturing
With a focus on Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, Vision & Control continuously develops intelligent imaging components featuring integrated preprocessing, parameterizable light control, and AI-ready interfaces. These technologies enable adaptive process control and are ideally suited for predictive maintenance, traceability, and data-driven process optimization.
