History

Mr. Klaus Eckerl, CEO
1992
Founding IB/E OPTICS as a „one man company“
1997
We launched the new office in Hutthurm;
and the first three employees came - and they are still with us.
1999
Another five employees have been hired. IB/E OPTICS did development for companies like BOSCH, Siemens and DLR.
2001
To do more than prototyping we founded production facilities.
IB/E OPTICS Eckerl GmbH with four more employees
The main issue was, to manage the series production.
2003
IB/E OPTICS developed the OptiBench measurment system for ultrafast MTF, distortion and telecentricity measurement.
2004
IB/E OPTICS invested in an own CNC-milling and turning technique to realize prototyping more fast.
2005
Development of machine vision systems as fully automated testing machine for Plansee AG/Reutte, stereo zoom lenses for Aesculap Meditec AG
2006
IB/E OPTICS designed the broadcast lens HD Scope. A fully felxible tool for the professional video industrie with 2 axis rotation with image derotation feature.With focus, iris , rotation, tilt and pan you have 5 axes to be driven.
Another fantastic lens was created - an ultra low and low budget wide angle lens up to 130° horizontal field with distortion less than 10 % for a well known automotive supplier. The only system that is allowed to be used instead of front mirrors.
2007
IB/E OPTICS invested in new high precision assembly and alignment station and in clean room facilities with now 60sqm. IB/E OPTICS now has the possibility to do high precision assemblies on opto-mechanical systems.
IB/E OPTICS started the development on a very complex surface inspection system in the sub micron region within all the imaging and illumination optics as dark field illumination and through the lens illumination.
IB/E optics developed the optimizer for Trace Pro and is the spot where to get short courses on Trace Pro
2008
Currently IB/E OPTICS is creating a new family of cine and broadcast lenses for the SI2K 2/3" HD and extrem wide angle lenses for 4K/5K sensors with fantastic performance and never seen low vignetting while telecentric construction technique are used.
2009
IB/E Optics at the NAB Las Vegas shows the first measurement equipment for the digital cams, the 14mm 5K wide angle and a family of lenses for the 4K sensors.
With the "Null lens" IB/E Optics shows an easy to use utility to ajust the perfect back focal at digital cams.
Another OptiBench MTF measurement equipment is installed.
Further development on the UPMOS alignement technique to mount optical components precise in the mechanical tubes.
Development of a Makro Zoom lens 9x für 3 CCD 1/3 " sensors.
Development of a ultra highspeed wide angle lens with 1:0,9 for the industry
Development of high apertur MWIR lenses.
