Why Use The Mantis Elite-Cam HD?

Integrated HD Camera, Complete With Video & Image Capture!

Simple To Use & Ergonomic – Aimed At Reducing Worker Fatigue!

Magnification Options To Provide The Ideal 3D Imagery!

 
 

 

Fatigue Free Stereo Viewing - Easy To Use

The Mantis Elite-Cam HD provides a 3D visual inspection microscope with patented technology to allow the operator freedom of head movement whilst in use. This provides minimal fatigue, which has cross over effects to causing greater productivity, increased throughput, and improved quality control for the operator. You can even wear glasses whilst in operation.

The Mantis Elite-Cam HD presents an effortless 3-dimentional view, with the apparent distance to the viewed object image identical to that of the real object. This will therefore eliminate the re-focussing of the operators’ eyes, further reducing the risk of fatigue.

This advancement in optical design allows your hands and eyes to work together – for the best 3D visual inspection experience from a microscope

 
 
 

The Ergonomics

From its inception, the Mantis family of microscopes (developed by Vision Engineering) have become the accepted standard for ergonomic and high performing magnification equipment.

The clarity of the 3D imagery is unrivalled, along with the comfort value that the Mantis Elite-Cam HD microscope brings to those whom use it. The imagery coupled with the ergonomic form factor is what has lead to businesses across the globe, trusting in the Mantis products for their manipulation and rework tasks.

Unlike most vision systems, with the Mantis the operator can sit back as there is no eye-piece, making co-ordinating and viewing tasks a completely natural experience.

The body position of the Mantis Elite-Cam HD makes it:

  • More Comfortable
  • Less Fatiguing
  • Easier To Use

Customer Questions
Is the Mantis Elite, Elite CAM-HD and Compact still available?

Yes. Each of these have been rebranded as part of Vision Engineering’s Mantis Classic range. Accessories and replacement parts are still available for these systems for the foreseeable future. You can also purchase these models still, should you wish to keep continuity on your production line for example.

Can Mantis classic parts work with the new Mantis 3rd Generation range?

As the new upgraded versions of the Mantis (PIXO/ERGO/IOTA) are a significant upgrade from the classic range, the entire microscope has been completely redesigned. This means that most parts and accessories for the classic range are not compatible with the new line of Mantis stereo microscopes.
