Applications and Development Trends of Optical Precision Components

Optical precision components mainly include glass spherical lenses (including camera lenses, security lenses, telescope lenses, microscope lenses, etc.), glass aspheric lenses, vehicle lenses, industrial lenses, camera lenses, etc. The future demand for optical precision components is primarily driven by the machine vision field of downstream industries.

The essence of machine vision is to implant "eyes" and a "brain" into machines. This means that machine vision can utilize the reflection of light from the environment and objects to acquire and perceive information. It also needs to intelligently process and analyze this information, and apply the results obtained from the analysis to perform corresponding activities. 

Optical precision component products are core components of the image acquisition module in machine vision devices. In the future, with the advancement of new generation information systems, the application fields of optical precision components will be broader, and the degree of application will be higher.
