Company profile
PHOTON-TECH INSTRUMENTS CO., LTD. was established in 1995 and has experience in vision inspection and automatic control. Its technical team assists clients with project development and professional programming languages, and the company states that its optical-technology team has more than 10 years of experience. For image development, PHOTON-TECH has cooperated for more than a decade with MVTec, which the company describes as a global top image automatic-identification company founded in Munich, Germany, and it collaborates with more than forty doctors to help clients develop AOI inspection equipment. The company treats precision motion control as an important complement to machine vision for completing equipment solutions. For lenses, PHOTON-TECH selects national brands according to lens analysis and optical theory, configures applications for individual projects, and customizes lenses to meet customer requirements. It distributes ImperX cameras for aeronautic-field applications and describes their features as extraordinary linearity, extremely low dark current, and low hot noise, with certification or use associated with AUO, LG, SAMSUNG, and other globally renowned corporations. For lighting, PHOTON-TECH combines industry-specific customized development and invention with attention to product quality, stability, security, longevity, heat-dissipation processing, inspection, and certification. The company began cooperation with STAUBLI in March 2014 for 2D and 3D motion-control applications for robot arms, with the goal of more intelligent motion control for customer requirements. PHOTON-TECH states that its team has studied motion-control technology for more than a decade and that, after proposing cooperation with Bosch Rexroth in 2011 and undergoing more than two years of assessment, it was affirmed for precision control combined with machine-vision concepts and technology. It describes itself as a vision distributor certified by the Ministry of Science and Technology to enter and station in the Central Taiwan Science Park, while also acting as a technology-oriented image-development provider for Taiwan manufacturers. PHOTON-TECH's history states that it obtained ISO 27001 Information Security Management System Certification in 2026 and established a training center of nearly 330 square meters in Hsinchu in 2023. In 2014 it cooperated with STAUBLI and jointly developed 2D and 3D high-precision positioning work with MVTec, and in 2013 Bosch Rexroth agreed to cooperate on a high-precision, high-speed motion-core project after two years of audit. The company states that it moved to a new plant at the end of 2009 and that in 2006 it was the only company passing Germany TUV ISO 9001:2008 certification related to AOI and machine-vision components. In 2005, after a one-year evaluation, PHOTON-TECH was approved by the National Science Council to move into Central Taiwan Science Park as an AOI team with high-end technical capability. In 2004, MVTec Software GmbH in Germany authorized PHOTON-TECH to hold Halcon and ActivVision Tools end-user training in Taiwan, with courses once a month for 2 to 3 days and certificates awarded by the German headquarters after completion. Earlier milestones include developing Taiwan's first high-speed swirl on-line automatic measurement system for Canon in 2003 at 50,000 swirls per minute with accuracy up to 1um, distributing automatic-vision-system components in 2001, providing precision-instrument rectification reports with a LEICA optical calibration system in 1997, and successfully developing Camera Type Automatic Vision Inspection on-line for CANON in 1996. At its establishment in 1995, PHOTON-TECH focused on precision optical instruments, vision-inspection-related components, nuclear instruments, atomic microscope systems, laser systems, X-ray products, and motion tables. The company identifies its Taichung operation as its headquarters and also lists offices in Taoyuan and Tainan, giving it a multi-location service presence in Taiwan.
