Customised Opto-Mechanics

The OWIS R&D team is at your disposal for customised opto-mechanics. We delight in specials, from a one-off for a demanding research project up to OEM quantities, and from modified standard products right up to a bespoke build. OWIS has a modern production line with precise machines which enables the manufacture of high quality products in any quantity at affordable prices. Above all, our motivated R&D team excels at individual solutions for demanding applications. We list below examples of recent 'special' products to give you a flavour of some of the projects we have been involved with.

Two-Mirror Beam Deflection Unit The two-mirror beam deflection unit is applied in a ground-based LIDAR system at DLR (German Aerospace Centre) in Oberpfaffenhofen.

Two-Axis Goniometer A customised version of the OWIS two-axis goniometer MOGO 40, this "tilt stage" contains additional Hall-effect limit switches, is motorised with 2-phase stepper motors and is fitted with a sample holder plate for materials research purposes. It is used in the Bruker AXS "D8 DISCOVER" X-Ray Material Research System for high-precision two-dimensional positioning of semiconductor samples.

Motorised XY Rotation Stage A crossed (XY) stage with integrated rotary unit which was fitted with 2-phase stepper motors and high-precision guides for ultra-high accuracy. This product was designed and produced for a Swiss industrial customer.

Sensor Fixing Device A Swiss automotive industry customer required a combined sensor fixing and drive unit for a field test application. One axis is motor driven and the other is operated manually.

Air-Flow Shutter for International Space Station In collaboration with OHB-System AG (Bremen), OWIS designed and developed the “Air Flow Shutter” for the Air Flow System (AFS) of the European Physiology Laboratory Module (EPM) for the use in the Columbus Laboratory (COL) on board the International Space Station (ISS). The air-flow control element regulates the air flow produced by a central blower providing the necessary air cooling capability for the lab.
