Apertursystems

AperturSystems is a technology company that specializes in aperture control solutions for optical and imaging devices. The company designs and manufactures a range of aperture systems, including mechanically actuated iris diaphragms, motorized iris modules, electrochromic diaphragms, and variable aperture assemblies. These systems are intended to regulate light transmission, influence exposure, and tailor depth of field across diverse imaging applications.

The product line emphasizes precision engineering and reliability. Typical offerings feature high-tolerance components suitable for camera lenses, spectrometers, microscopes, telescopes, and machine-vision systems. Specifications commonly highlighted include tight mechanical tolerances, fast actuation, broad dynamic range, low power consumption, and compatibility with standard control interfaces such as Ethernet, I2C, and SPI. The company also provides configurations for vacuum environments and other specialized operating conditions where optical performance is critical.

In addition to hardware, AperturSystems delivers software tools and application programming interfaces that enable programmable aperture control within imaging pipelines, as well as calibration routines and integration with autofocus, exposure control, and image stabilization systems. This software support is designed to simplify system integration for both commercial products and research instruments.

Applications and markets include professional photography and cinema for creative control of exposure and depth of field, astronomy and astrophysical instrumentation for optimized light gathering, microscopy for enhanced contrast, and industrial or laboratory imaging where precise light regulation improves measurement accuracy. Public information about the company’s history and leadership is limited; AperturSystems is positioned as a specialized supplier within the optical engineering sector.
