ProCam®
Active alignment, assembly and testing of camera modules and LiDAR systems
With the measurement and production equipment of the ProCam® series, we offer the latest solutions for the challenge of active alignment and series production of high-precision optical sensor systems. Active Alignment technology has a key function in optimizing the image quality of camera modules and LiDAR components. By providing optimal image quality across the entire field of view, active alignment is an established and efficient manufacturing process to produce high-end camera applications and LiDAR systems.
What is active alignment? Aligning an image sensor to a lens while actively reading image data from the sensor.

Software
ProCam® Software
The ProCam® software consists of components for the fully-automated active alignment process:
- Using high precision image analysis algorithms, all relevant parameters for the accurate alignment process such as the MTF at multiple field positions and the tilt of the image plane are automatically analyzed in real-time and used in the alignment process.
- All stages of the alignment and measuring process are software-controlled by ProCam®
- With the integrated scripting tool, the measurement and alignment process can easily be tailored to specific customer needs and products.
- The measurement data can be saved in a database so that the process is completely traceable.
- The setting of individual configuration files enables a quick product change between different camera types.

Multi-position Dome
In the development and prototyping phase, many customers want to try out different camera configurations and measurement positions.
The new Multi-position Dome from TRIOPTICS has been developed exactly for this trial and error phase and maximizes flexibility in camera production and testing. The set-up of the collimators can be changed with a few simple steps and allows a continuous adjustment of the collimators. Minimum and maximum angles are quickly adjusted and positioned. Three different sensor formats 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9 can be tested in just one device thanks to the Multi-position Dome.
In concrete terms, this means time and cost savings when changing products. The numerous adjustable measurement positions make camera production and testing more flexible than ever before.
The new Multi-position Dome is now available as an upgrade for ProCam® Lab, ProCam® Align Smart and CamTest Focus.
