Boulder Imaging Intelligent Machine Vision Manufacturers - About Our Company

Specializing in intelligent machine vision and high-speed, high performance digital video recording, Boulder Imaging’s Vision Inspector inspects with industry leading accuracy and reliability.

In the early 1990's, after graduating from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and working on sensor technologies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Carlos Jorquera decided the time was right to launch a company of his own.  What Carlos saw at JPL was that he was collecting all this data from multiple sensors, but there was really no way to record it all with 100% accuracy at the time. He wanted to design a system that would allow the end user to plug in multiple cameras or other sensors, hit record, and capture data with guaranteed zero data loss. And the second requirement was that the system captures scientifically accurate data, meaning uncompressed data that can be used to make valid scientific observations. 

Realizing that the field of high-performance imaging had a great deal of untapped potential, Carlos formed CJ Computational Systems in 1995, which was later renamed Boulder Imaging. As founder and chief technology officer, he has guided the company's product roadmap, including products for real-time image acquisition, analysis, and processing solutions for high-speed manufacturing, engineering, and scientific applications.

From this background in developing imaging applications for deep-space missions at NASA, Boulder Imaging has a reputation for designing equipment to withstand the most extreme environments and to work reliably for many years.

Based on the success of its first product - the Quazar High Performance Digital Video Recorder (HPDVR)™, the industry-leading High Performance Digital Video Recorder (HPDVR)™, with fully synchronized and time correlated multi-camera input, and guaranteed zero data loss, Boulder Imaging introduced the Vision Inspector line of intelligent machine vision solutions. Vision Inspector Beacon detects surface defects and non-uniformities in precision parts, materials, and coatings, assigning a pass/fail rating it then sends to an automated handling device. Vision Inspector Benchmark provides accurate measurements of 2D, cylindrical, flat part, sheet metal, gasket, and other precision parts. Vision Inspector Premier provides both metrology and surface inspection to check parts for surface quality as well as size, shape, integrity, and dimensional accuracy. Vision Inspector Guardian monitors high-speed manufacturing equipment, systems, and processes.

Boulder Imaging also markets a complete range of high-speed, high-resolution cameras from AVT, Basler, Dalsa, Imperx, Mikrotron, Prosilica, Photonfocus, and Vision Research among others.

With R&D virtually written into our genetic code, Boulder Imaging is constantly discovering new ways for the technologies we develop to be used in key markets including aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, paint, film and coatings, defense, and medical devices. Our business mantra is that if our systems aren’t orders of magnitude better than what’s currently available, it’s not a market we want to enter.  We only focus on areas where we can have a substantial impact; and that’s evident in our substantial track record and stellar customer base.
