Optimax Quality

Optimax trains its employees to be inspectors first to support our Lean manufacturing environment. Opticians measure and certify their work with metrology instrumentation to assure that it conforms to specifications. Optimax instrumentation includes the most advanced phase measuring interferometry, which enables making surface accuracy measurement to lambda / 50.

• Inspects 100% of the products it manufactures 
• Offers 3 standard levels of manufacturing tolerances
• Supplies written QA data with all prototype orders
• Uses Quality procedures consistent with ISO 9001:2008 and MIL-I-45208A

To ensure that each customer receives only product that conforms to specifications, Optimax performs a 100% inspection of all the optics it produces. Written QA measurement documentation is systematically supplied with all prototype orders. Upon request, such data can also be supplied for production orders. Optimax Quality procedures and standards are consistent with ISO 9001:2008.

Optimax Thin-Film Coatings

• Offers a diverse range of thin film coatings. from BBAR, V-coat, and reflective to custom coatings which meet exacting customers' specifications.
• Has extensive primary and backup coating equipment including 4 e-beam vacuum coaters and e-beam with ion assist.

Optimax has extensive coating capabilities and equipment, including four electron-beam coaters and one equipped with ion beam assisted coating . Coating spectral conformance is confirmed with a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 900 Spectrophotometer.
