Leading brand Martec sought a quality connector
UK leading sub-contractor Martec specialise in the end-to-end design and manufacture of hermetically sealed connectors and feed throughs. They supply to a range of sectors including aerospace and military and have experienced rapid growth in turn over. As these connectors are used in high performance and critical applications Quality and meeting specification are critically important. To maintain good operator wellbeing and maximise productivity throughout this expansion, Martec purchased three Vision Engineering Evo Cam units from Optimax.
A modern take on vision engineering
The Evo Cam is a full high-definition digital microscope, offering excellent image quality and automated point to point measurement for high precision inspection. In interview with Optimax Martec’s Lead Development Engineer, Paul Mulder explained that: “The Evo Cam offers a flexible solution that speeds up inspection. The microscope’s depth of field supports Martec’s demanding optical requirement. By adjusting the aperture on the Evo Cam, it is possible to achieve a greater depth of focus.”The Evo Cam offered Martec an innovative solution to meet the challenges of repetitive inspection. Paul explained that health and safety concerns were the key driver in the purchase of the three devices:“The inspection team inspect each part at 10 times magnification under a microscope – all of Martec’s components require 100% inspection. When using legacy microscopes for this work, operators suffered from back, shoulder and eye strain.” As an ergonomic solution, the Evo Cam eliminates this discomfort, supporting good posture and reducing eyestrain. Numerous studies have shown that such improvements increase team wellbeing, productivity and reduce operator error. Image capture and documentation is also rapid and intuitive, allowing for the sharing of questionable results.
The EvoCam
We recommend the Evo Cam as the ideal product. As the customer stated “The Evo Cam’s live image capture and HD screen is transformative for the training of new inspectors, it’s an important step beyond the capacity of our legacy microscopes.”
By purchasing three Evo Cam units from Optimax, Martec secured a streamlining and intuitive solution for complex, repetitive inspection.
