德国KrüssKruess

　　德国Kruess公司始建于1762年,是德国著名的分析仪器公司,

　　德国A.KruessOptronic GmbH公司作为一家具有200多年悠久历史的企业,曾在许多科技创新发明上有过辉煌历史。公司在2004年美国Pittcon会议上推出全新系列的DR6000系列折光仪和P8000系列旋光仪,这两个系列的产品以独到的设计理念和优异的性能表现获得全球用户的一致好评。

　　德国A.KruessOptronic GmbH公司的P8000旋光仪具有多项突破技术，其专利技术可以保证在一秒中内测完+/-90旋光度范围,而且不受旋光度的影响。其准确度性能不仅在小于1度内保持业界最高水平+/-0.002,而且把该性能保持在整个+/-90旋光度范围内,改变了其他制造商在小于1度时保持高精度在1-5度时又一个精度而在大于5度时还有一个精度的工艺水平,可谓在性能上傲视群雄,而且该仪器还具有一定的价格优势。

　　An amazing number of high-precision optical and other quite different products have been shipped world-wide from the Hamburg laboratories. Although some have long since been forgotten, more recent products, are known throughout the world.

　　But let us return to the origins, to 1796 and the Hamburg workshop of Edmund Gabory, ?Mechanicus Opticus?.

　　Gabory was trained in London by none other than Jesse Ramsden, the world famous optician, at a time when precision engineering was flourishing. On finishing his training in1790, Edmund set up a workshop of his own in London Holborn. In 1796 he moved with his family to Hamburg, the international portcity and trading centre. This is where the talented optical engineer established his career and saw his business prosper. In 1813 Gabory died. The company was taken over by his widow Mary and their son Edmund Nicolas. In 1823 Gabory’s daughter Mary Ann married Andres Krüss.

　　The combination of scientific skill with Hanseatic business acumen, tradition and perspective proved to be a successful formula. Together with his wife and her brother, Andres Krüss led the company to further success, adding nautical instruments and charts to their product range. Brisk trade with the neighbouring Scandinavian and other foreign countries developed. In 1844 Andres Krüss established a company of his own named Optical Institute A. Krüss. Four years later he fell victim to one of the cholera epidemics. After his death, the company was first run by his widow who then handed it over to her sons Edmund and William in 1851.

　　In 1859 Edmund set up the company’s own lens-grinding facility. In addition to camera lenses, they later manufac-tured projectors for dissolving views. In order to demonstrate the quality of his photographic lenses he opened his own photographic studio. He was awarded first prize for his lenses at the World Exhibition in London in 1862. In 1865 Krüss patented his famous Magic Lantern, forerunner of the cinema projector.

　　Still in existence at this time, the original company of Edmund Gabory was merged with Optical Institute A. Krüss in 1886. After completing his training with distinction at Steinheil and his university studies in Munich, Edmund’s son Hugo returned to take over the management of the company in 1888. In a period of many new inventions and scientific developments, Dr. Hugo Krüss established himself as a pioneer in theoretical and applied photometry. His Manual of Electromechanical Photometry became a standard work. In his capacity as chairman of the German Society for Precision Engineering and Optics, Dr. Krüss was appointed by the German government as an expert for customs and excise in 1892; while in office, he convinced the government to establish a tariff heading specifically for “scientific instruments?. In 1917 the Hamburg Senate awarded Dr. Krüss a professorship in recognition of his achievements in the scientific world and his engagement in public affairs.

　　In 1904 Hugo’s son, Dr. Paul Krüss joined the family company at the age of only 24. The so-called ?master craftsman with a doctorate? managed the company from 1920 during the troubled times of crisis and World War as well as during the later restructuring of the German economy. Using his international connections in the world of science, he developed a range of scientific instruments including laboratory equipment for schools.

　　Andres Krüss, Paul’s son, was an engineer and became a partner in 1946 in the 6th generation. Due to his hard work during the ?German Economic Miracle?, Andres secured new customers and new markets. Dr. Paul Krüss died in 1976 at the age of 96. No one else had ever run the company so long.

　　Today the company is run in the 7th generation by Martina Krüss-Leibrock, who took over A. KRÜSS Optronic in 1980. Martina is the daughter of Andres who died in 1992. In 2005 Martinas daughter Karin Leibrock joined the management of the company in the 8th generation. And today the company A. Krüss remains famous for high-precision, state-of-the-art measuring instruments. Thus the traditional craftsman’s art of precision engineering has been perfectly combined with innovative electronic technology.
