In the demanding fields of optics, medical imaging, and aerospace, the performance of an entire system hinges on the precision of its components. For optical and imaging parts, where micronlevel accuracy and flawless surface finishes are nonnegotiable, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining stands as a critical manufacturing solution. Our company specializes in providing hightolerance,一站式 CNC machining services tailored to the unique needs of this advanced industry.

Unlike standard mechanical parts, optical components require more than just dimensional accuracy. They demand exceptional surface integrity to minimize light scattering, absorption, and distortion. Our advanced 5axis CNC milling centers achieve the complex geometries of housings, mounts, and mirrors with unparalleled precision. We meticulously machine materials crucial for optical applications, including aluminum for lightweight stability, stainless steel for durable mechanisms, and even specialized plastics like PEEK and Ultem®. For critical imaging surfaces, we employ singlepoint diamond turning (SPDT), a specialized CNC process that can directly generate opticalquality finishes on ductile materials, eliminating the need for postpolishing in many cases.

The applications for our services are vast and impactful. We produce:
Lens Mounts and Housings: Ensuring perfect alignment and stability for lenses in cameras, microscopes, and medical scopes.
Mirror Substrates: Providing a perfectly machined base for subsequent polishing and coating in laser systems and telescopes.
Imaging Sensor Enclosures: Protecting sensitive sensors from environmental factors while maintaining precise dimensional tolerances.
Medical Imaging Components: Manufacturing critical parts for MRI, CT scanners, and endoscopes where reliability is paramount.
