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.
OWIS EngineeringPlug-and-play positioning systems with individual plus you can rely on. We make sure of that. Convince yourself!
With OWIS Optics Boxes we turn your laboratory setup into a robust, industrial-suited product. We assist you with choosing design, components and materials.
Thanks to our high production depth we are very flexible and reduce your time to market to a minimum. Benefit from our years of experience!
With our wide portfolio of linear and rotational precision stages we build individual solutions very rapidly. In combination with our manual and motorized axes, we develop alignment and handling systems - optimally adapted to your application!
Multi-axis systems can be positioned with up to 9 axes in combination with our controllers.
Is your application not representable based on our modular system? You have specific requirements – for example concerning construction size or aperture?
We assist you. With know-how in development and construction as well as our decades-long experience in manufacturing complex systems. Individually designed and manufactured – everything from a single source!
With know-how and expertise for vacuum applications, today OWIS takes an outstanding position. OWIS Products are designed for uses in high vacuum ranges of 10-6 mbar, in ultra-high vacuum ranges of 10-9 mbar and since 2019 also in XHV ranges of 10-11 mbar.
The OWIS Vacuum Series include manual and motorized positioners as well as beam handling systems and optomechanical components.
Our products and engineering services are characterized by precision, functionality and reliability that you can rely on! This is what we are committed to day after day – each in his own area of expertise and with his own special skills.
Plug-and-play positioning systems with individual plus – that's what OWIS Engineering stands for.

Sensational what can be realized in a very short time. When we were thinking about how to present our latest highlight, a high-precision positioning system for measuring surface structures of large components, we didn't think we would be making a film about it in the middle of the night a week later. Now the film is ready and exceeds our expectations. Convince yourself!

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.
