8th Wetzlar Autumn Conference "Modern Optics Production"





Already for the 8th time Optence invited to the Wetzlar autumn conference "Modern optical production". Over the years, the conference has become an established event in the industry.

HOFBAUER OPTIK also exhibited at this event together with TH Deggendorf/ TechnologieCampus Teisnach.

In addition to the optical giants such as Leica, Edmund, Schott, Ohara, Optotech, Satisloh, Schneider and Mahr as well as 20 other exhibitors, HOFBAUER OPTIK presented its product range in the field of optical straightness and position measurement technology as well as angle and centering measurement technology, especially for aspheres.

This year, the event offered two innovations: The presentations were translated into English by simultaneous translators in order to make the event attractive for international guests as well. Furthermore, there were parallel sessions for the first time: The international partners of the network "Photonics Finland" organized a session on virtual and augmented reality. The participants were able to choose between lectures on current innovations in the field of coating or VR/AR.

Of course, most of the presentations remained as usual and appreciated: the opportunity to visit companies in the region, the accompanying exhibition with almost 30 exhibitors and the networking dinner were on the agenda again this year.
