Products & Services

Optical components and hardware
Positioning systems and mounts

At OWIS, we turn our customers' pioneering ideas into reality and drive progress in high-tech industries. We do this by relying on our standard components and our outstanding engineering expertise:

Our standard components:

Beam handling systems

Beam handling components and systems form the basis for every experimental and laboratory setup. Optical experiments can be performed simply, quickly and individually at different beam heights.

Optical components

Optomechanical components include highly precise mounts and adjustment units to hold and align optical elements in the beam path. The product portfolio is complemented by optomechanical elements such as filter wheels, flip mirrors, slits and diaphragms.

Manual positioners

Manual Positioners enable precise motion sequences. Due to the versatile combination options of linear, rotary and goniometer stages, multiaxial setups can also be realized.

Motorized positioners

Motorized positioners are characterized by highest precision. With linear, rotary and goniometer stages, high-precision alignment and handling tasks can be solved in research and industry.

Plus with a system: OWIS Engineering

With OWIS Engineering, enormous potentials can be uncovered. Through combination, simplification and optimization, you benefit from an improved price-performance ratio and minimum installation space with maximum quality.

C-CROSS

C-CROSS 105 & C-CROSS 205

Compact XY stage for optical inspection

The square base is 290 mm in width, making it smaller than the height of an A4 sheet of paper. Despite its compact size, this stage enables an impressive measuring range of 205 x 205 mm.

It is driven by easy-to-use stepper motors that achieve a velocity of 50 mm/s.
