ELECTROGRIP SPECIAL OPTICS CAPABILITIES
- Laser machining:
- Undetectable cutting damage in all optical materials
- Crystalline sapphire, quartz, low-expansion glass ceramics, glasses etc.
- NASA has used this capability for large mirror fiducial generation
- Diamond tool machining:
- Low-expansion glass ceramics, quartz, glasses, ceramics are cut without detectable edge damage as determined by phase-shifting interferometry
- NASA has used this capability for large mirror segmenting
- Large optics generation:
- Other machining -- use us with confidence when breakage is not an option:
- Lightweighting and cutting of fine patterns, ultra-delicate machining of thin sections
- FEA simulations:
- Assurance that designs will meet specifications through models and simulation prior to cutting
- Measurement of flatness, curvature:
- Phase-shifting interferometry accurate to approx. 20nm over up to 200mm FOV, and to approx. 50nm up to 1000mm FOV
