Machine Vision's Best New Resource - Navitar's Optical Wizard
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- August 24, 2006 – Navitar’s
Optical Wizard has quickly established a place on the favorites list
of engineers, end-users, and OEM’s as the resource tool to use
when needing a lens or complete lens system for machine vision or electronic
imaging applications.
“The response to the Wizard since its launch in April has been
tremendous – more than what we ever anticipated. During the months
of development time and beta testing we knew we had a great tool, but
we had no idea of the impact it would have on the machine vision industry,”
comments Navitar’s President, Jeremy Goldstein.
The Wizard presents a logical set of questions, created by Navitar’s
team of application and optical engineers, which take the guess-work out
of lens selection. Dick Schneider, an application engineer with Kramer
Scientific, is one of hundreds who has bookmarked www.opticalwizard.com.
He remarked, “The tool is really put together very nicely and I
will definitely refer to it as applications arise.”
OEM customers consider the Wizard’s ability to provide several
applicable lens options one of its best features. Time previously spent
searching and compiling information from multiple manuals and catalogs
is now eliminated. The Wizard presents several options in table format
allowing for easy comparison of performance, components and price. Engineers
find the supporting data such as parts lists, drawings and performance
specs ideal for providing details to colleagues, and in turn facilitating
decisions and keeping projects moving ahead.
"The new Navitar Optical Wizard is more than a useful lens finder.
It is a trustworthy, accurate, easy-to-use tool that offers customization
for any optics application,” comments Tad Papineau, President of
PSI Solutions, a Navitar integration partner located on the west coast.
The best part is - the Wizard is empowering. Customers are now able to
design an optical system themselves, when they need it. International
customers find the online tool extremely helpful as they can now obtain
information without delay due to time variances. Craig Fitzgerald, VP
of Domestic Sales with Navitar comments, “Our dealers can’t
say enough about the Wizard. They now have a lens selection tool at their
fingertips, 24/7, to help them configure complete vision systems and allow
them to respond quicker to their customers.”
Optical Wizard users are supported by Navitar’s exceptional engineering
and sales teams. Lens systems configured using the Wizard can be purchased
online or from a worldwide network of integration partners and dealers
