Optical Surfaces has invested in a class-10,000 clean-room, reflecting the rise in demand for specialist cleaning requirements for high-precision optical applications.
Dr Aris Kouris, sales manager at Optical Surfaces, said: 'The new clean-room facility will allow us to eliminate airborne contaminants from our final assembly and inspection area.' Optical Surfaces' main workshops and test facilities are deep underground in a series of tunnels excavated in solid chalk, where temperature remains constant and vibration is practically non-existent.
With such stable conditions, testing, particularly with long path lengths, becomes quantifiable and reliable.
Optical Surfaces' ISO 9001-2000 approved manufacturing facility provides the flexible resources to supply from single specialist requirements to OEM quantities.
All high-precision optics are provided with a complete quality test assurance report.
