Lasers love OWIS – for a reason. The wide OWIS Portfolio of optical beam handling components and positioning units are characterized by high precision and reliability.
Optical beam handling systems form the basis for individual assemblies and may be combined perfectly with optomechanical components as well as manual and motorized positioning units. High-precision linear, rotational and swivel movements may be carried out with the OWIS Positioners. Corresponding controllers round off the OWIS Portfolio.
With OWIS Engineering, enormous potentials can be uncovered. Through combination, simplification and optimization, you benefit from an improved price-performance ratio and minimum construction size with maximum quality.
Every engineering project means the highest level of commitment to us. We are only satisfied when our systems work perfectly and meet the highest standards. On systems powered by OWIS Engineering you can rely on.
Convince yourself!
At OWIS, we turn our customers' pioneering ideas into reality and drive progress in high-tech industries. In doing so, we rely on our high-quality standard components, our outstanding engineering expertise and our ambition to push technological boundaries.
