Optical Fabrication

Our optical shop relies on years of experience to provide grinding , polishing, generating, and milling to fuel our thin film coating substrate and reticle requirements

• We can take a component from the raw material stage through cutting and shaping, all the way to polishing to create a flat finished precision optical component
   
• Our machinery is at the cutting edge of fabrication technology from traditional spindle style polishers, to double sided grinding and polishing machines to 48" planetary polishers
