Axelrod Associates solves practical problems for:

• automated monitoring, control, testing, documentation
• non-contact sensing, detection, recognition & gauging
• product development, product & process control, quality control.

A complex background can hide defects and features (left), but optical techniques can bring them out. (below)

Optical techniques can suppress complex background features as shown.
Arrows point to same feature in both images, above, of same field of view.

In-house resources include computer-based vision systems and data acquisition systems, SMART OPTICS^SM, fiber optics, lasers, software (for testing, control, analysis, design, etc.), electronics, and our ROBUST SYSTEM^SM program for hardware and software development.

We solve immediate problems as well as long-standing problems for which no practical solution had been available. The services become of immediate value when a current lack of suitable experience or manpower in applying optics and computer-control technologies would cause delay.
