In the middle of the Corona crisis year 2020, Dr. Helge Moritz founded the company Machinevision-Shop GmbH, with which he offers machine vision components via the online shop www.mv-shop.com. The company was already founded in July 2020, but "the formalities took much longer than usual", says owner and managing director Moritz.

The shop is currently only stocked with the available components from the Chinese manufacturer OPT Machine Vision. The large number of over 1,400 LED lighting units in many sizes and colours is worthy of special mention. Furthermore, lenses for area and line scan cameras as well as a large selection of telecentric lenses are offered. The shop is flanked by many tables and information, which allow an easy selection of the required product.

The MV shop is aimed exclusively at commercial customers and here in particular at machine builders who require machine vision components suitable for industrial use.
