Precision visualisation and reliable compute for measurement, monitoring, and control.
Instrumentation and test equipment demand absolute confidence in data accuracy, visual clarity and long-term reliability. Whether used in laboratories, production environments or field applications, display and embedded technologies must present critical information clearly, respond precisely to user input and perform consistently over extended lifecycles.
FORTEC UK partners with instrumentation manufacturers to engineer display, touchscreen and embedded solutions that enhance usability, accuracy and system robustness, supporting applications where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

Optical Bonding for Instrumentation Applications
Optical bonding is a key enabler in modern instrumentation design. By eliminating the air gap between the display and cover glass, bonded assemblies significantly improve contrast, reduce reflections and enhance durability.
For test and measurement equipment, this results in clearer data presentation, improved readability in variable lighting conditions and increased resistance to shock and vibration, all critical for maintaining measurement confidence and system reliability. VacuBond® optical bonding
