About TRIOPTICS
TRIOPTICS GmbH, based in Wedel near Hamburg, develops and produces optical measurement and production systems for the development, quality control and series production of lenses, lens systems and camera modules. The portfolio includes MTF test systems (ImageMaster® series), centering and alignment systems (OptiCentric®), goniometers (PrismMaster®, SpectroMaster®), autocollimators (TriAngle) and active alignment production systems (ProCam®) for camera modules and LiDAR components. In addition to its instrument business, TRIOPTICS offers contract manufacturing of optoelectronic systems at its Wedel site in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom with active or passive alignment, bonding with microliter precision, UV pre-curing, oven final curing and 100 % inspection of all modules (up to 500 modules per week), as well as a measurement service for lenses, afocal optics, AR/VR/MR optics and temperature tests from -40 °C to +120 °C. Customers come from the optics and precision optics industry, smartphone/consumer electronics, automotive, medical technology, defense, VR/AR, and aerospace. The company employs around 400 staff worldwide and maintains seven subsidiaries and six partners around the world. TRIOPTICS is part of the Jenoptik Group.
