Markets

Navitar designs and manufactures optical imaging products and solutions used in a wide variety of applications within the Semiconductor, Machine Vision and Life Science industries. 

Our modular solutions allow customers to automate manual processes by incorporating highly repeatable, precision optics resulting in overall lower cost and exceptional accuracy. 

SEMICONDUCTOR & OEM MANUFACTURING

Navitar works closely with OEMs, integrators and end user customers within the semiconductor market, specifically targeting those with non-UV processes. Product offerings include high magnification zoom and fixed lens systems, low magnification video lenses, and large FOV objective lens components, industrial USB3 and 10 GigE cameras, high speed lenses, and more. Navitar products are widely used in non-contact vision-based systems to measure and inspect surface form, waviness and roughness on sheet metal parts, automotive interior parts, turbine blades, medical devices, tools, and anything too large to fit within the frame of a CMM.
