Products of the Schneider Group

	Optics for industrial applications Optical and opto-mechanical components and subassemblies for machine vision and other image processing applications. By providing high-quality optical solutions, we help system integrators and equipment manufacturers enhance their vision systems. We offer C-mount lenses, modular macro lenses, lenses for large sensors, telecentric lenses, 3-CCD lenses, filters, mechanical adapters and mounts as well as custom solutions for OEM projects. Applications include surface and web inspection, ITS and traffic law enforcement systems, document reading, postal identification and sorting, metrology (2D/3D), medical imaging, biometrics, aerospace and defense.
	Servohydraulic and Servopneumatic Electro-hydraulic servo valves in single-stage, two-stage and three-stage versions of 0.5 to 1000 l/min and pressures up to 420 bar for industrial applications. Electro-pneumatic servo valves in a single-stage version up to 100 Nm³/h and pressures up to 30 bar for packaging-, welding- and measuring machines.
	B+W Filters and SCHNEIDER-Magnifiers and Digital Filters Photographic filters for high optical requirements. They are used by professionals as well as amateurs in the fields of photography, video and TV just as successfully as they are used in science and technology. Virtually all the filters are made of SCHOTT glasses and they are available in screw-, bayonet-, slip-on- and series mounts. Special mention should be made of KÄSEMANN-type polarizing filters. High-grade SCHNEIDER Magnifiers for all fields of visual control complement the extensive line of B+W Filter products.
	Lenses for Photography, Enlarging and Digital Photography Absolutely top quality lenses for all tasks in professional photography and image processing. Based on decades of experience in lens manufacture, these lenses have been conceived for applications in 35 mm and large format photography and for digital imaging. The first use of aspheric elements in large format lenses of the SUPER-SYMMAR-XL line. Accessories: Centerfilter, Magnifiers and helical mounts.
	Lenses for motion picture projection Schneider lenses for modern multiplex theaters with large screens and stadium seating satisfy the stringent requirements for imaging quality. All motion picture formats, including Cinemascope films, are supported by lenses with finely stepped focal lengths in the CINELUX class.
	Lenses for digital projection The closely stepped fixed focal lengths and the anamorphic systems of the CINE DIGITAR line are a guarantee for rich contrasts and finely resolved details in projection with digital high-performance projectors. The fields of application of the lenses range from DIGITAL MOVIE THEATERS to front- and rear projection and on to RENTAL & STAGING applications.
	Lenses for eyeglasses / ophthalmic optics Quality lenses made of glass or plastic material. Single power-, multiple power- and graduated lenses of high-refraction materials: SPECTRALITE, HYPER INDEX 1.67, TRANSITIONS ® III, etc.
	Plastic Injection Moulding PENTACON processes on state-of-the-art machines ((ARBURG, DEMAG, ENGEL) with clamping forces between 200 kN and 1500 kN and carrier plates ranging till 700x700 mm. Furthermore are our machines equipped with an intelligent three-axis-handling. The additional refinement of surfaces with printing, varnishing or vaporizing is possible on request as well. Pentacon has broad experience on the fully-automated over-moulding of metallic parts with plastics (full automatic production cell).
	Assembly Our experience in the field of camera production predistinated us to assemble fine mechanical, high integrated assemblies. Customer Formation Manual mounting of sensitive, fine mechanical, optical assemblies (e.g. magnifiers) Assemblies or medical industry Mounting f camera closures, film magazines Electronically assemblies with following assay, finish, surface
	Precision Measuring and Test Equipment Service As an accredited DKD laboratory PENTACON offers various measuring and calibrating services. PENTACON is accredited for parallel end gauges and calibrates with the smallest possible inaccuracy of measurement of 0,09 µm (90 nano meters). With the Datacollector Pentacon is offering a customized monitoring software. It's based on a web interface and a MySQl database and can be used with a web browser.
	Mechanical Production Mechanical production PENTACON processes on CNC controlled capstan lathe and plain turning machines (with opposed spindle and y-axis) and we are also operating on different 4-axis milling machines. Having a broad experience in the processing of surfaces we are specialised in the handling of aluminium, steel and high-grade steel.
	Finished Products Under the name of PRAKTICA and EXAKTA PENTACON is distributing still cameras (analogue and digital), storage and binoculars. With more than 40 countries worldwide the company is extending their market share and already has a strong base all over Europe, Turkey, Taiwan and Russia.
	Optoelectronics For years PENTACON is developing, producing and selling components for the electronical image capturing as well as the sonic and optical quality control. On the field of camera construction we are developing and producing high-resolution scanner cameras which can be equipped with various lens systems. Scanner cameras are usually used for advertising and reproduction photography, cataloging at museums or for measuring at engineering offices.
	CENTURY Film & Video For over 50 years, Century Film & Video Accessories have been used by filmmakers and videographers worldwide, winning numerous prestige awards during that span. Professionals lens add ons and accessories remove obsticals, expand creative choices, and make the seemingly impossible shot a reality.
