Optical Systems for Medical Devices

Medical Devices – High standards for the quality of products and components – high standards for the design and manufacture of optics and optical systems.

Customized and Precisely Tailored Optics and Optical Systems

Vision & Control creates the right look for your medical device.

Even the best optical system is of no use without the right lighting.

We place great emphasis on in-house production, quality and on-time delivery.

A seamless development process from concept to product.

The Path to Your Optical System from Vision & Control

Concept phase

In this initial phase, we develop an initial specification for your idea, assess its feasibility and draw up a preliminary design for the optical system. Specifically, the concept phase involves the following:

Refining the specifications.
Feasibility assessment based on optical and mechanical design studies.
Tolerancing, material identification, identification of test criteria and required test equipment.
Cost estimation for series production and, where applicable, for prototypes.
On request – risk assessment in collaboration with the customer.

If your idea is feasible and the concept meets your requirements, we proceed to the final technical design.

Technical design

This phase involves further refinement of the optical design and construction. This is where the final technical design, with precisely defined fits and tolerances, is produced.

This phase concludes with a comprehensive simulation of the optical system that has been developed.

Production of physical prototypes

Thanks to our many years of experience and excellent simulation tools (Ansys ZEMAX, OpticStudio 2026, Autodesk^® Inventor^®), the performance parameters can often be predicted very accurately.

As a rule, several prototypes are manufactured so that they can also be tested in your system.

Development verification

Testing of prototypes against the requirements
Documentation of the testing in a detailed report
Traceability of requirements and tests
Documented and controlled changes

Production handover and series production

We turn your idea into mass-produced products. This phase involves handing the project over to the manufacturing department and obtaining approval for mass production.

Complete documentation: All necessary technical drawings for both the optical and mechanical components are produced to serve as the basis for manufacturing. The same applies to the test procedures.

‘Made in Germany’ production: Thanks to our dedicated staff and well-established supply chains, your optical systems will be available on schedule.
