About EURECA Messtechnik
EURECA Messtechnik GmbH specializes in technical consulting, development and supply for OEM projects. Its focus areas are optical measurement technology systems, cameras and thermoelectric cooling systems. The company supports device manufacturers in developing new instruments and measurement methods and supplies the required components for series production – including CCD/CMOS image sensors, lenses, interference and IR filters made of plastic (PMMA), as well as Peltier elements and cooling system accessories. Its own services include the modification of image sensors, camera characterization, image simulations, the design of Peltier-based cooling systems, the assembly of Peltier elements and laser cutting of filter material with tolerances of ± 0.25 mm. In addition, EURECA offers seminars on optoelectronic components and operates as a distributor for machine vision cameras from Teledyne FLIR as well as a representative of Caeleste and CMOS Sensor Inc. The company is based in Cologne and participates in research projects such as quantumflexika and the CLOUDS experiment on board BEXUS-38.
