ONE INTERFACE. EVERY CONTROL.
AURA software, developed by Vision Engineering, built around the inspection process from the ground up. Every control is accessible from one screen. Fully integrated.
Intuitive control
Navigate by mouse, touch panel or keypad. The icon-led interface is fast to learn and easy to use, for first-time set-up or handover to a new operator.
Everything in one place
Zoom, focus, lighting, image control, capture, measurement and analysis options are all controlled from within the software. Operators stay in the workflow from live image to documented result.
At a glance
The status bar shows the current system state across the top of the interface. Objective, lighting, zoom and active settings are visible without opening a menu. The setup can be confirmed before inspection starts.
Consistent across every system
Presets save known settings for recurring tasks and can be shared across multiple systems. The same inspection conditions can be replicated wherever AURA is deployed. Supervisor Mode fixes critical parameters so settings stay locked in.
Save and share
Captured images include annotations, measurements, metadata and time stamps. Save to internal storage, USB or network drive. Share results with stakeholders without moving the system.
Illumination
Choosing the lighting to optimise the view of the sample:
- White and UV
- Contrast-enhancing base
- Episcopic illuminator
- Sub stage illumination
Quadrant-controlled
Polarising
Objectives
Choose the objective that best suits the magnification task.

DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS. DIFFERENT PRIORITIES.
EVO Cam AURA is used across a broad range of production, quality control
and laboratory environments. A choice of models, control interfaces, lenses, lighting options and accessories means the system can be configured to suit the task, the environment and the way the team works.
Electronics
Where component density makes every joint count
As component size decreases and board density increases, image resolution can become a limiting factor in confident rework and inspection decisions. 4K imaging resolves solder joints, component spacing and pad geometry at the detail level that SMT inspection demands. The large optical zoom covers both board-level overview and close inspection of 0201 components without changing lenses.
Focus stacking captures depth across uneven PCB assemblies in a single image. Annotated images with timestamps support verification records and rework documentation on the system.
Automotive and Engineering
Where high-mix lines need fast changeover
Inspection bottlenecks on high-mix lines often come down to set-up time, not inspection time. Customisable presets reload known image settings instantly between parts or processes, reducing changeover time across different component types. 4K imaging supports edge condition checks, coating inspection and detailed failure analysis. Go/no-go overlays provide quick checks of critical features.
OVERLAYS OFFER A REFERENCE CHECK ON THE LIVE IMAGE
Aerospace and defence
Where traceability is non-negotiable
When a component fails an audit, inadequate inspection records are as serious as the defect itself. Surface condition checks, defect review and dimensional inspection of machined and composite components need documented results that meet audit requirements.
Images saved with metadata and timestamps create detailed inspection records on the system. Network connectivity allows saving direct to a shared network for information security. The secure variant removes connectivity for facilities with strict data handling requirements.
KEY DATA CAN BE SAVED DIRECTLY ONTO CAPTURED IMAGES

Where documentation is part of the product
In regulated manufacturing, inspection records are as important as the inspection itself. Component verification, cleanliness inspection and assembly checks on catheters, stents and implantable components must be consistent, accurate and repeatable. Save traceable records with embedded metadata direct to network.
Research and laboratory
Where collaboration adds value
Consistent results between sessions and operators matter when analysing image data. Save and share image enhancement controls to keep results consistent between sites.
4K images capture detailed sample views, with scale bar, timestamp and other information needed for collaboration.
Integrated connectivity supports live streaming between locations, so teams can discuss results in real time.

Frequently asked questions
How do I keep an entire component in focus when it has different heights?
For components with uneven surfaces or features at different heights, focus stacking captures images at different focal depths and combines them into a sharper image. EVO Cam AURA includes integrated focus stacking, helping you see detail across components such as populated PCBs and other three-dimensional parts.
How can I make visual inspection more consistent between operators?
Using the same inspection settings for recurring tasks helps reduce variation between operators, shifts and sites. EVO Cam AURA lets you save and share presets, while Supervisor Mode can lock critical parameters. Automatic lens and lighting recognition also helps maintain known inspection conditions when configurations change.
How can I create traceable inspection records for quality audits?
Digital inspection images can provide a visual record alongside information about the inspection. EVO Cam AURA captures images with annotations, measurements, metadata and timestamps, with results saved to internal storage, USB or a network drive for quality documentation and reporting.
Can I inspect, measure and document components without a separate PC?
Yes. EVO Cam AURA is an all-in-one digital inspection system with integrated software, so a separate PC is not required. Inspection, image capture, measurement, annotation, comparison and documentation tools are available within the system, keeping the workflow at one workstation.
How can I inspect reflective, low-contrast or difficult-to-see components?
The right combination of lighting, image settings and magnification can make difficult features easier to see. EVO Cam AURA provides configurable illumination and integrated image controls for inspecting challenging samples, including highly polished metals, low-contrast plastics, black plastic mouldings and anodised components. Aura is also compatible with the range of clip on filters, including polariser and difusers to optimise illumination of difficult subjects.
