Optical Systems assembly

Assembling optical systems for real world applications can be one of the most challenging aspects of the optical systems development process. “Optics do not float”, as the saying goes. In the assembly process, the optical elements must be placed to within the specified tolerances in an efficient manner and be able to survive the specified use conditions. ASE has the experience and resources to meet precision optical systems assembly for prototyping as well as short series production. The optical assembly procedures begin to be defined during the initial stages of the optical design process. Each optical system can be unique, but at the same time, ASE takes full advantage of its experience in assembling optical systems to replicate proven techniques, within the uniqueness of your system, applying the right amount of precision. 

We have experience in the manufacturing and assembly of custom precision systems and equipment and our vendors are qualified, ensuring a rapid turnaround and high-quality materials. ASE provides certified testing and verification of our designs and fabricated parts to ensure meeting our customer’s specifications..

Our process can achieve tolerances of:  <5micron decenters and air gaps, <3 arcmin tilts…. but only when you need them.
