Switzerland is known all over the world for its watches. We are all the more pleased that almost all (or the vast majority) of watch manufacturers rely on us as their partner for high-speed cameras.
For over 30 years, the former Videal AG and today's Highspeed department in our company has been the partner of many watch manufacturers and the largest provider in Switzerland in this area.
How do high-speed recordings work?
High-speed recordings or slow-motion recordings are video recordings of fast movements. The high frame rate makes it possible to play back the recordings much more slowly. Fast-moving processes can thus be analyzed with the appropriate software.
Why are high-speed recordings important?
Product quality plays a very important role in the watch industry. "Swissmade" stands for unique quality and ingenuity. The images from the high-speed cameras are particularly helpful in research and development and in detecting faults during production.
The movement of a wristwatch consists of many small parts that move quickly. Displayed only in slow motion, you can see how these small parts react to shocks and falls, for example.
This is impossible without high-speed images. The watchmaking trade in Switzerland can thus benefit from further analyses and improve product quality even further.
How do other companies benefit?
But it is not only the watch industry that benefits from high-speed images. Many other companies that produce or develop should use high-speed cameras to their advantage. In particular, companies with production lines, packaging lines, filling lines and R&D departments with fast processes can improve their insights with high-speed cameras.
We have already been able to carry out exciting projects with many companies and thus contribute to the development of new products or the improvement of existing products or processes.
High-speed cameras are particularly helpful during production. In some cases, there are production lines that work at breakneck speed. Finding the cause of a production error here is hardly possible with the human eye.
Has your production line ever stood still for hours and you couldn't find the fault? Then you know the situation.
The images from the high-speed cameras show you exactly where the problem is and what you need to change. Sometimes it's just the machine settings, but sometimes there are also mechanical problems. The slow-motion images enable simple visualization so that the necessary adjustments can be made quickly and the downtime remains short.
