OptiCentric®
The benchmark for lens centration
High-precision centration test devices, alignment, cementing and bonding systems.
The OptiCentric® product group represents the global standard for optical centration testing and manual and automated cementing and bonding of lenses and lens assemblies. With its extremely high degree of centration accuracy and integrated operation, OptiCentric® systems are indispensable in modern optics productions. It makes no difference whether the sample has a small or very large diameter, works in the visual or infrared spectral range, or is to be cemented, bonded or just measured: modular OptiCentric® systems permit a wide range of different applications and samples for optimum composition.
