| | | WHAT ISA CYLINDER? | | |
| | | |
| | | A cylinder is a surface that is circular in one direction and flat in the orthogonal direction. A cylindrical optic has one or more cylindrical surfaces. Cylindrical optics are used in medical instruments, graphic arts, professional laser printers, and semiconductor processing equipment. | | |
| | | |
| | | MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES | | |
| | | |
| | | Optimax specializes in the rapid manufacture of prototype optical components. We utilize deterministic CNC machine tools for predictable removal rates and adherence to tight tolerances. To control wedge, we use precision tools that maintain the optic axis. Optimax grinds and polishes most optical materials such as glass, fused silica, and crystals for UV to IR applications. | | |
| | | |
| | | TESTING CYLINDERS | | |
| | | |
| | | Optimax uses several interferometric techniques including plano reference flats, spherical transmission lenses, and diffractive optical elements to verify the plano axis and power axis ofthe optic. | | |
| | | |
| | | IN-HOUSE COATING CAPABILITIES | | |
| | | |
| | | Optimax can provide optics complete with BBAR, V-coat, and mirror coatings. We have four electron-beam coaters supported by a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 900 Spectrophotometer. For more details please see our Coatings data sheet. | | |
| | | |
| | | QUALITY ASSURANCE^ 1 Optimax inspects 100% of all optics and provides test data with prototype orders. We utilize state-of-the-art metrology and provide on-time delivery guarantees to ensure your satisfaction! | | |
