VISION ENGINEERING LIMITED

Company Description

Vision Engineering Ltd is a global leading-edge manufacturer of patented ergonomic stereo microscopes and non-contact measuring systems.

Since its formation in 1958, Vision Engineering has become one of the world's most innovative and dynamic microscope manufacturers, with offices across Europe, Asia, North and South America, as well as a fully trained global distribution network.

Vision Engineering was founded in 1958 by Rob Freeman, a toolmaker who had previously worked as a race mechanic with the Jaguar Racing Team. Whilst at Jaguar, Rob developed a borescope for inspecting internal race engine parts without the need for disassembly. Subsequently he formed Vision Engineering Ltd as a means of developing his interest in optics applied to manufacturing technology.

In 1994 Vision Engineering introduced the World's first 'eyepiece-less' stereo microscope, the Mantis, designed to fill the gap between a bench magnifier and a microscope. It was an ergonomic revolution that went on to win numerous design and innovation awards. The Mantis became the new benchmark for high performance stereo magnification.

Since then, Vision Engineering has pursued a corporate design and innovation policy that concentrates on optimising operator performance when using optical systems in the manufacturing sectors and industries.

Over the years Vision Engineering has delivered leading-edge stereo inspection and optical measurement products that have helped improved productivity and quality for thousands of companies the world over. From fault detection, rework, research and development to quality control, Vision Engineering's products are unrivalled when it comes to ergonomics.

Our unique patented products have saved manufacturing companies many man-hours, reduced materials wastage and ensured quality and conformance to desired specifications.
