About Moritex Corporation
Moritex supplies the optical path used by machine-vision systems, including fixed- and variable-magnification telecentric lenses, bi-telecentric assemblies, macro and CCTV lenses, and large-format line-scan optics. Telecentric designs keep principal rays parallel to the optical axis, reducing perspective error for gauging, alignment and dimensional inspection.
Matching illumination includes coaxial, oblique, backlight and fibre-optic arrangements selected for reflective wafers and panels, electronics, automotive parts, food and pharmaceutical inspection. High-resolution SOD-X and Machine Micro Lens families cover microscopic fields, long working distances and integrated coaxial lighting, while MTL systems combine large fields of view with telecentric backlights. Moritex also develops custom optical modules around a customer's sensor, surface and inspection geometry.
