At the INNOPROM exhibition in Yekaterinburg, Shvabe holding demonstrated high-precision optical developments for science, industry, and geodesy. Among the key novelties are a profilometer for assessing the quality of large-sized astronomical and space optics, a modernized stereoscopic microscope, and the first Russian total station with an angular measurement error of just one second.
The profilometer was created by the Lytkarino Optical Glass Plant in cooperation with Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The device measures surface irregularities thinner than a human hair, determining the microrelief condition of telescope mirrors and space objective lenses. This allows for higher quality images of Earth from space and increases the accuracy of astronomical observations. Only a few companies in the world produce similar devices for optical parts with a diameter exceeding 0.25 meters.
The modernized stereoscopic microscope, developed at LZOS, produces a contrasting image without color distortion or geometric aberrations. It is intended for laboratories, restoration workshops, and the jewelry industry. Serial production has already begun – several dozen devices are planned for release by the end of the year.
The 6Ta1 total station, developed by the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant, provides an angular measurement error of one second – this is the first domestic device of its class. Since 2023, 345 devices of the 6Ta series have been supplied to customers and are used in Central Russia, the Urals, and the Far East. Shvabe noted that the holding's products reduce dependence on foreign solutions and surpass foreign counterparts in a number of characteristics.
