Opticology, Inc. specialises in the design & fabrication of critical precision optical and opto-mechanical assemblies.

Any precision optical system requires mounting. High precision is often required to keep the system aligned and perform within specifications. Opticology routinely designs the mechanics surrounding our optical systems with elegant solutions, providing the necessary precision with the end user in mind.

When building prototyping systems it usually makes sense to use stock components when possible. The blend of a stock parts and custom mechanics makes for a reliable system that can be produced quickly and inexpensively.

For custom optical components that we fabricate we often will provide a lens cell or barrel facilitating conventional mounting to an optical breadboard.  For our OEM customers, we provide custom optics preassembled into the mechanical system built to their specifications, simplifying their final assembly process.

Our mechanical systems range from the simple to extremely complex, from large mounting systems, kinematic mounts, to micropositioners. We design and build systems thoroughly and efficiently and our customers are always provided with complete part and assembly drawings.
 

 
The fabrication of mechanical parts is just as important as the design, and our production of any part is always done with our designers working closely with the machinist. Well-equipped and skilled machinists are a must for opto-mechanical parts and Opticology utilizes EDM and CNC machines for high accuracy and low cost on high volume operations.  More information about our manufacturing capabilities can be found on our facilities page.
