In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbH acquired Dr. Wolf & Beck GmbH (Wangen, Germany) as part of its growth strategy, which centers on optical measuring technology and multisensor systems. The two companies jointly developed O-INSPECT, an instrument for optoelectronic measurement that is currently being introduced to market.
Wolf & Beck offers custom solutions in for image analysis and laser package solutions for coordinate measuring machines used for optical scanning. The company focuses on solutions that require interdisciplinary know-how from the fields of optics, precision engineering, electronics, microprocessor technology and software. This includes optical 1D, 2D, and 3D sensors for the recognition of form and color.
“The know-how of Wolf & Beck in the manufacture, integration and application of optical measuring technology ideally supplements the Carl Zeiss industrial metrology product portfolio. By completing acquiring the company, we are ensuring our leading product and integration know-how in optical sensors. This also enables us to establish another pillar for sustained development in this area of industrial quality assurance,” says Dr. Rainer Ohnheiser, president and CEO of Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbH.
