StablEDGE® optical filters are specifically designed to be less susceptible to effects from angular shifting seen when optical filters are used with short focal length (less than 12mm) camera lenses. This feature is becoming increasingly important as today’s trend in machine vision progresses towards more compact inspection layouts, which utilize less space – forcing the camera and lens closer to the subject. As a result, short focal length lenses are now more extensively used than ever before.

Bandpass Filters & Bionic Butterflies
Palatine, Ill. (August 9, 2016) – Festo, a worldwide leader in automation (pneumatic and electrical control), technical training and development, has successfully implemented the first ever eMotionButterflies which show how several autonomous flying objects can move independently in an enclosed space without colliding.
“With the use of MidOpt BN850 Near-IR Bandpass Filters, active markers (850nm IR LEDs) and a 10 infrared camera set-up, Festo has demonstrated how the use of an indoor GPS and infrared cameras could be used as a guidance and monitoring system in factories of the future,” says MidOpt President Barry Warzak.
