Optical Coherence Tomography Provides Structural Analysis
Vision Spectra
In the Winter 2025 issue of Vision Spectra magazine, Excelitas Product Manager Matt Angstadt examines how optical coherence tomography (OCT) is gaining momentum as an industrial imaging technology for applications where traditional camera-based machine vision falls short. The article explains how OCT uses near-infrared (NIR) light and interferometry to generate cross-sectional images or detailed surface topography, enabling visualization of features that cannot be captured with conventional imaging systems.
Enhancing Image Quality with Melt-Fit Technology: Customizing Optics to Material Variations
Vision Systems Design
Vision Systems Design features an article from Excelitas Optical Design Engineer Thorsten Zwinger that highlights the innovative use of “melt‑fit” optical design. By precisely adjusting mechanical and optical parameters according to real-world glass attributes, the melt‑fit approach ensures a high amount of color-correction, which results in a high-resolution image with high uniformity and minimal sample by sample variation.
Noblelight BlueLight Flash Systems: Engineered for High Performance in Challenging Production Environments
Food & Drink Processing & Packaging - FDPP Magazine
Noblelight® BlueLight Flash systems from Excelitas® offer a cutting-edge, chemical free disinfection solution that is transforming how manufacturers disinfect products and packaging in food and beverage production facilities. Powered by pulsed xenon technology, BlueLight Flash systems emit intense ultraviolet light that inactivates pathogens by disrupting their cellular structure.
Technical Considerations to Ensure Optimal UV LED Curing
PFFC Magazine
PFFC magazine features an article by Excelitas Marketing Manager Stacy Hoge, which explores the technical requirements for achieving optimal UV LED curing in printing applications. The article emphasizes that successful curing depends on precisely matching UV output to the specific needs of the ink, coating or adhesive, reinforcing that no single UV LED solution fits every application.
Intelligent Infrared Systems Save Energy
Der Konstrukteur
Precision is essential in plastics manufacturing—especially for automotive interior components that are formed, joined, or deburred using heat. The process works best when heat is applied only where it is needed. Excelitas’ Noblelight Infrared Emitters deliver fast, targeted and energy-efficient heating, helping manufacturers reduce energy use, shorten cycle times and improve both production speed and product quality.
Is UVC LED Technology Ready for Real-World UV Curing?
Converter Magazine
In the October 2025 issue of Converter magazine, Roy Kayser, Senior Manager of Global Applications & Custom Projects at Excelitas, examines whether UVC LED technology is ready for real-world UV curing applications. Drawing on recent advancements in efficiency, lifetime and manufacturability, the article explains how UVC LEDs have matured into a viable complement to established UVA LED curing systems for demanding industrial processes.
