Optomech Engineers began with a mission to bring precision optical measurement to Indian manufacturers. Four decades later, we design, machine, and assemble every instrument ourselves — in Hyderabad — for customers in 12+ countries.
From a small workshop with ISRO-calibre precision requirements to a nationally recognised manufacturer trusted by India's top aerospace, automotive, and medical companies.
Optomech was founded in Hyderabad in 1981. Its earliest work involved precision optical measurement assignments connected to India's space programme, giving the company an engineering discipline that few commercial metrology firms could match. Tolerance demands from organisations like ISRO taught the team that accuracy cannot be a target — it has to be guaranteed, every time.
Through the 1980s and 1990s Optomech built its first catalogue of profile projectors and optical comparators for Indian manufacturers scaling up to meet export quality requirements. The decision to manufacture in-house — rather than distribute imported instruments — defined the company's character. Every optical path, every precision stage, every illumination system was understood from the ground up.
With the turn of the century came CNC technology, digital imaging, and software-driven measurement. Optomech expanded into Vision Measuring Machines (VMM), Quick Measuring Machines (QMM), and Digital Video Measuring systems (DVM). At the same time, the machine vision division was seeded — applying the same optical expertise to automated inline inspection for high-volume production environments.
Optomech today operates a 10,000 sq. ft. facility equipped with Haas CNC machining centres, in-house optics assembly, and NABL-traceable calibration infrastructure. The team designs in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, machines precision metal components in-house, and assembles and calibrates every instrument before it leaves the factory. The installed base of 1,500+ instruments spans 12+ countries, with customers in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, plastics, and general engineering.
Four principles have guided every instrument we have built since 1981. They are not marketing statements — they are engineering commitments that any customer can verify by examining our products.
Every Optomech instrument must meet its specification under real workshop conditions — temperature variation, vibration, operator variation. We calibrate to NABL-traceable standards and provide certificates that prove it. Specifications on paper that don't survive the factory floor are not specifications.
We machine our own precision components using Haas CNC centres and assemble every optical path in-house. This is not just a cost decision — it is how we maintain quality control. When a customer has a problem, we can trace it to the exact machining step or optical assembly that needs to change.
Our measurement software is designed for production operators, not metrologists. Part programs run in one click. Reports generate automatically. GD&T results appear in plain language. Complex measurement capability must not require a specialist to operate it daily.
An instrument that is accurate on day one but drifts by year three is a liability. Our service programme — remote support, AMC, on-site engineers, genuine spare parts, NABL recalibration — is designed to keep every instrument at its specified accuracy for the full working life. We support instruments that are more than 15 years old.
Optomech is led by engineers who have spent their careers in optical metrology and machine vision — not professional managers who moved into the sector. That distinction matters when a customer has a hard measurement problem.
Alok Garg founded Optomech in 1981 and has spent over four decades building the company's technical reputation. He holds a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from IIM Mumbai, combining deep engineering knowledge with business leadership. His expertise covers the full range of optical measurement systems — from traditional profile projectors to modern CNC vision measuring machines.
Alok's connection to ISRO-level precision requirements in the company's early years set a standard that Optomech has never walked back from. He remains directly involved in product development and customer applications for demanding or non-standard measurement requirements.
Amit Garg leads the machine vision and digital measurement divisions at Optomech. He holds a B.Tech in Electronics Engineering and has spent 20+ years developing software-driven measurement and automated inspection systems. Amit's work bridges traditional dimensional metrology and the real-time imaging and data analysis requirements of modern production lines.
He oversees software development, camera and optics integration for vision systems, and digital measurement platform evolution — ensuring Optomech's products remain current with the requirements of Industry 4.0-oriented manufacturing.
Every Optomech instrument is designed, machined, assembled, and calibrated at our 10,000 sq. ft. facility in Hyderabad. Vertical integration is not a talking point — it is how we control quality at every stage.
