Customers speak up
Don't take it from us. Let our customers tell you how Light Works has served their machine vision and optics needs..
Edmunds Gages "Edmunds Gages has been in the dimensional measurement field for over fifty years. Edmunds Gages is a manufacturer of manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic gaging systems for the automotive, bearing, armament, and compressor industries along with many other specialty fields. We employ many different proven measurement techniques in our products such as pneumatic gaging, LVDT, Eddy Current, and Vision gaging. Edmunds Gages became involved with Light Works at least four years ago. We have found [Light Works] to be an invaluable resource when it comes to optics and other vision related issues. We have used many of Light Works standard and custom telecentric lenses (Super-Eye) over the years. Light Works has also not hesitated to work with us to develop unique custom telecentric lens solutions for our specialized vision gaging applications, all within a reasonable cost. Edmunds Gages also uses the Light Works website as an educational resource for our customers. The website offers an wide array of information related to vision and optics under the MACHINE VISION HELP section that seems to explain some of the complex concepts of optics in a very fun and easy to understand manner. If all else fails, call Light Works. They are often available to guide you through the decision making process as it relates to your optical needs. For Edmunds Gages, the fixed magnification telecentric lenses Light Works supplies and the services they offer are just what we’re looking for to outfit our industrially hardened gaging systems.” Chris Mickey, Mechanical Engineering Manager |
Lightway Systems"We've been doing machine vision dimensional gauging for 7 years, and have tried numerous manufacturers from all over the world (including Sill Optics, Nikon, Navitar). For every lens we used, we had to do somewhat excessive amount of software work to compensate for distortion, field non-flatness, etc. With Lightworks's stuff all this is gone, and now we calibrate the lenses for the linear magnification value only. Our machines with Lightworks' optics pass Pratt-Whitney R&R gauge tests." Andrei Kourilovich |
“I enjoyed our interactions on the last few telecentric lens projects. Your knowledge and patience have been particularly beneficial to our project and helped us make better decisions. Your design and delivery have been excellent. I learned a lot about these lenses throughout our interactions, which I appreciate very much.” Name withheld at customer’s request |
Federal Mogul“The [telecentric] lenses work well and are reasonably priced. The distortion is less than what we would have gotten going with Edmund [Industrial Optics] telecentric lenses. The double telecentric design makes them longer, but provides better performance.” Mike Sandy, Manufacturing Engineer |
