News Jadak and Jenoptik buy vision firms to strengthen imaging portfolio H
ealthcare tier one supplier, Jadak, has purchased the Imaging
Solutions Group, while metrology and photonics company, Jenoptik, has acquired Otto Vision Technology and Ovitec, which specialise in optical inspection systems. Both Jadak and Jenoptik have
strengthened their imaging portfolios and expertise through the acquisitions. Imaging Solutions Group,
based in Rochester, New York, manufactures video imaging platforms and smart cameras for industrial and medical applications. Te smart camera of its Allegro series contain an embedded FPGA, and are compact, high resolution and high performance. Jadak builds embedded
machine vision into medical devices, such as clinical analysers, surgical machines and assay readers. Te ISG acquisition gives Jadak much more of a footprint in industrial machine vision. In 2014, Jadak was acquired
by Novanta, then the GSI Group, for $93.5 million. In 2017, the company released its Clarity 2.0 machine vision soſtware package; it also has a portfolio of smart cameras. Jenoptik’s acquisition of Otto
Vision Technology and Ovitec adds optical inspection systems to its metrology offerings. Both Otto Vision Technology
and Ovitec have headquarters in Jena, Germany, where Jenoptik is based. Te two firms employ 32 personnel, with a forecast revenue for the fiscal year 2018 of around €8 million. Otto Vision Technology and
Ovitec make optical inspection systems for quality assurance and process optimisation, as well as in complex imaging systems for applications in the field of part

dimensioning, surface inspection and position detection. Te main customers of the
two companies come from the automotive, stamping and glass industries, as well as from the machine and equipment
engineering sector. Both were founded by brothers
Reinhard and Gunter Otto, who will continue to work as managing directors of the companies. ‘We are convinced that we can benefit not only from
Jenoptik’s extensive know-how in production metrology, but also from the Group’s financial strength and global presence, and substantially expand our international sales activities in the future,’ commented Reinhard.
New 3-CMOS industrial prism area scan cameras from JAI When color matters….

…The Apex Series is the clear choice
In nature, no one handles color better than the chameleon. And for color vision systems, no industrial cameras handle color better than the Apex Series. With their new 3-CMOS, prism- based technology, these Apex cameras provide significantly higher color accuracy and spatial precision than typical Bayer-filter cameras, and offer more than 3 times the throughput of previous 3-CCD models – up to 3.2 megapixels at 55 fps. Add to that advanced features like edge enhancement, color enhancement, and built-in color space conversions for a price that’s well-below previous prism cameras, and it’s easy to see why system designers are choosing Apex Series cameras for their color-critical applications in life sciences, print inspection, paint matching, darkfield color wafer inspection, and much more. If color is critical to your vision system, don’t settle for less than the best. To learn more, visit
