Advanced imaging and perception

Mach 1

High-speed imaging, made accessible.

Mach 1 is OpticWorks' high-speed camera product and the center of our work in imaging and perception: high-speed capture, advanced sensing and image processing for scientific and engineering use.

Early development

Development program. Mach 1 is not a product you can buy, and we have not published specifications. Internal performance targets have not been validated.

01Overview

Seeing what happens too fast to see

Many of the most important events in engineering and science happen faster than the eye or a conventional camera can follow. High-speed imaging makes them observable, measurable and repeatable.

Mach 1 explores how to make that kind of instrumentation more accessible to the engineers and researchers who need it.

02Overview

Perception across the company

The sensing and image-processing work in Mach 1 is also how our other machines will perceive the physical world. It feeds directly into the platform that connects our hardware.
