We are a Czech-based company focused on developing optical extensometers and advanced DIC optical measuring systems for deformation and deflection analysis.
We provide turnkey measuring devices based on our own DIC strain analysis software to augment your experimental research with precise, accurate, and complex data. Our key personnel’s expertise is based on more than a decade of practical technical insights into DIC development and application.
Our company has achieved industry recognition for delivering efficient, high-quality, and user-friendly DIC metrology systems and optical extensometry solutions for complex and sensitive applications.
WHAT WE DO
Valuing Performance
Our team is dedicated to the advancement of the DIC technique and its efficient data supply for mechanical testing and engineering.
Assisting Innovation
We believe that the most inventive potential arises from interactions between developers and clients. That is, by combining technical insight and attention to the client’s needs. This approach has proven to inspire solving existing problems in new ways.
Focusing on Accessibility and Reliability
Although strict attention to detail lies at the core of our development process, we follow a pragmatic mindset and deliver DIC systems that are user-friendly and render high-value outputs.
HIGH-TECH DIC STRAIN ANALYSIS AND OPTICAL EXTENSOMETRY
DIC systems developed and produced by our company are designed to minimize the occurrence of errors and invalid results and maximize the amount of information obtained testing. The intuitiveness of the software and low requirements for preparation and calibration serve to maintain time and cost effectiveness.
We emphasize cooperation and a thorough understanding of the client-specific needs and application range. We will help you design and perform measurements of material specimens or components of your choice.
X-SIGHT CORE TEAM
PETR GAJDOS
CEO & Head of Applications
Petr has been involved in the development of video extensometers since 2011, and he has also worked as a designer and developer of DIC systems. After obtaining his master’s degree in vibrodiagnostics, he focused on measuring dynamic phenomena and vibrations. In 2018, he collaborated with Jan Cepela to design the ONE video extensometer for industrial use. Since then, he has served as the primary application expert, advancing the use of DIC methods in numerous industrial, engineering, and R&D applications worldwide. In his role as CEO, he is driving X-Sight’s global expansion and continues to provide expert support to many customers, addressing critical applications.
JAN CEPELA
CTO
Jan acquired his master’s degree in software engineering with a specialization in signal processing at Brno University of Technology in 2004. Since 2009, he has been involved in the specific area of engineering software development for optical measurements in the fields of mechanical testing, testing, and quality control. He is the main author of several software programs for deformation, motion, and shape analysis. He is an experienced software analyst, designer, leader, and mentor of a team of software developers. Since 2020, Jan has been a software development manager, where he collaborates with a team of application engineers and businesspeople to develop commercial applications of video extensometers and DIC solutions.
MICHAL VAJDAK
CCO, R&D Manager
Michal has been involved in product development and DIC technologies since 2007. Together with Jan Cepela, he created the first commercially focused industrial DIC system, ADICT, in 2009, designed for quality control of fuel sensors. Additionally, since 2010, Michal has engaged in program management, business growth, and leadership roles within companies focusing on in-house research and the development of Czech products.
In 2020 he joined X-Sight as an Innovation Manager and today, he is also responsible for global business development as CCO.
