Highest quality optical beam handling systems and positioners

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 optical 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.

Researching – networking – winning

It's not quite that trivial – but with our commitment we want to create the best conditions for it. Following our future-oriented strategy, we are increasingly contributing our knowledge and experience to the research of new technologies and solutions in photonics. We have created capacities and spaces for this at OWIS and want to share our results and findings in the network and enrich them with external impulses. Our development manager Dr. Peter Hilgers (center) and his team are looking forward to working together in the Photonics BW e.V. network.
