Advanced visual inspection systems for non-destructive detection of surface defects, ensuring consistent quality and reliable manufacturing processes.


At Optimax, we stock and supply bench magnifiers that cover most application areas and will stand the test of time, all at a reasonable price. Our range of bench magnifiers from Vision Engineering include the entry level stereo viewer alongside industry-standard bench clamped magnifiers used to visually inspect smaller components. Complete with highly illuminating LEDs, cameras or digital screens for extra clarification, we have the bench magnifier to suit your application. Whether you’re fitting out a new laboratory or updating your existing equipment, we can help you choose the right bench magnifier.

For detailed visual inspection, digital microscopes are the go-to for excellent image quality and clarity. With fantastic optical magnification range fed through a high-specification digital camera, digital microscopes are the cornerstone of visual inspection. Visual inspection is a necessity in almost all manufacturing assembly and testing environment. From aerospace, automotive medical and plastics to small, precision manufactured components digital inspection offers a cost effective and ergonomically advantageous solution to traditional stereo microscopes. We provide operator and AI driven options from Vision Engineering, Inspekto and Kitov, for more information or to book a demo on any of our products, get in touch with Optimax.

At Optimax we have a history of providing high quality binocular and trinocular, stereo microscopes. Choose from standard optical only or combined optical and video systems for image capture and analysis. When working in precision industries, quality is key, and our range of stereo microscopes can meet those expectations for a variety of budgets. Featuring products from Vision Engineering and Nikon, Optimax supplies both entry-level and high-end equipment to meet the inspection needs of all customers.

Nikon’s highly flexible, modular industrial microscope range allow us to specify an instrument to suit any material. Choose from reflected and transmitted light as well as a range of specialised lighting techniques such as polarisation, DiC and darkfield imaging. Contact us to discuss your compound industrial microscope requirements.

Optimax can help you realise the benefits on implementing AI defect detection. Inspect inline – reduce the influence of human subjectivity, detect defects such as scratches, burrs, flash, dings and dents. Automatically identify assembly errors, absence presence or printing mistakes such as text or QR codes to reduce rejections and improve productivity in your business. Solutions from Inspekto offer easy to deploy, cost effective stationary inspection systems or you can benefit from Kitov’s robotised solutions with full CAD model programming. Our range covers solutions for high volume parts such as PCB (printed circuit boards) up to complex, safety critical applications in aerospace. Additionally combine these solutions with one of our metrology sensors for dimensional feature measurement or detailed defect analysis such as depth, volume or area.

To aid with visual inspection requirement, Optimax can supply a range of accessories including flexible fixture kits for holding small components in place without the need for expensive or ineffective rigs, bespoke fixture and component holding systems when universal options just won’t work for your business, as well as tilting adjustable stages to make difficult visual inspection angles easier to achieve. For all your visual inspection accessories and requirements, get in touch with us at Optimax.
Non-destructive visual inspection is essential for precision engineering and modern manufacturing. Used to detect surface flaws, cracks and other defects, visual inspection equipment delivers high-accuracy results without damaging delicate components. Optimax helps you enhance your in-house measurement and inspection capabilities, identifying even the smallest defects early to improve your design, production process and the reliability of your end product.
At Optimax, we provide a wide range of vision inspection systems and testing tools, including AI defect detection and automated visual inspection systems suitable for manual and fully automated production lines. Our brands include Inspekto, Vision and Nikon, covering:
No matter your industry, medical devices, packaging, automotive or aerospace, our vision systems for manufacturing inspection deliver consistent, traceable results every time.
