Photonfocus looks back on 25 years of corporate history. The foundation was laid in 2001, when the company was established as a spin-off of the Swiss organization CSEM. InVISION spoke with CEO Marco…
Yeah, the goal in founding Photon Focus was to utilize the, at that time, new CMOS image technology for industrial applications and the development of high performance industrial cameras based on this sensor technology for machine vision applications.
Right from the start, Photon Focus focused on the development of innovative CMOS sensors with global shutter technology.
An important milestone was the development of the patent DynLock technology.
This enabled an exceptionally high dynamic range in image sensors and opened a new possibility for use in applications with challenging light conditions.
In these years that followed, the product portfolio, which includes CMOS sensors and industrial cameras, was continuously expanded.
Photon Focus starts the first international sales activities and made further investments in R&D to drive further growth.
During this period, we developed new cameras with the technologies for 3D image processing for laser triangulation applications, as well as for NIR, UV, SWIR and hyperspectral imaging.
