Visit Optotune at Hall 10, Booth 10G25 during VISION 2026 in Stuttgart to discover how tunable optics can improve machine vision performance, simplify system design, and enable new automation possibilities.
VISION remains one of the most important events for the machine vision industry, bringing together component suppliers, integrators, OEMs, and end users from around the world. This year, Optotune will showcase a range of live demonstrations highlighting how liquid lenses, electronically focus-tunable lens modules (ELMs), and adaptive mirrors can address real-world imaging challenges across inspection, logistics, microscopy, and industrial automation.
See Optotune's ELMs in Action
One of the highlights at our booth will be a live demonstration featuring Optotune’s latest electronically focus-tunable lens modules (ELMs).
Using a robotic arm and turntable setup, visitors will be able to see how tunable optics enable fast and reliable focusing in machine vision applications. The demonstration illustrates how adaptive optics can improve imaging flexibility while reducing the need for mechanical movement.
Applications for this technology include:
- Quality inspection
- Industrial automation
- Microscopy
- Barcode reading
- Vision-guided robotics
Dynamic Barcode Reading and Field-of-View Expansion
Another featured demonstration will showcase the combination of Optotune’s MR-15-30 adaptive mirror and ELM technology for field-of-view expansion applications.
In logistics and automation environments, barcode readers and vision systems often need to cover larger areas without increasing hardware complexity. Our demonstration will show how adaptive optics can dynamically redirect and focus the imaging system, helping users monitor a wider area while maintaining speed and reliability.
Visitors will be able to experience this technology through:
- A live breadboard demonstration
- A commercial system developed by 3D Vision Labs
Liquid Lens Integration with Leading Industrial Cameras
System integration is often just as important as optical performance.
At VISION 2026, we will demonstrate how Optotune liquid lenses and ELMs can be integrated with several leading industrial camera platforms. Visitors can learn how autofocus functionality can be controlled directly through the camera software environment, simplifying implementation and helping reduce development effort.
For machine vision engineers and OEMs, this can provide a faster path from prototype to deployment.
Additional Technologies on Display
Alongside the live demonstrations, visitors will have the opportunity to discuss several emerging Optotune technologies with our team, including:
Tunable Prisms for Optical Image Stabilization
Our liquid tunable prism technology enables fast optical correction and stabilization, opening new possibilities for imaging systems operating in dynamic environments.
Adaptive Mirrors for LiDAR and Free-Space Optical Communications
Discover how adaptive mirror technology is enabling beam steering and optical control in next-generation sensing and communication systems.
Microscope Objectives with Integrated Liquid Lens Technology
Learn more about our 10x and 20x microscope objectives that combine conventional microscopy optics with integrated liquid lens technology for dynamic focusing capabilities.
LW-18 Actively Cooled Mirror
For high-power laser applications, we will also discuss the LW-18 actively cooled mirror designed for multi-kilowatt laser processing systems.
