Optical Instruments & Photonics

The Optics & Photonics industry demands high-precision/low-volume manufacturing of specialty optical components. These high precision and often geometrically complex components are typically utilized in aerospace, defense, and other highly specialized scientific fields.

With CAD drawings calling out thin walls, delicate mating parts and unusual screw threads, parts for this industry can be among the most challenging to create.

To meet these exacting needs, EMI's 5-axis CNC expertise allows us to machine and verify parts with tolerances as tight as ±0.0001″ (±0.00254 mm). Paired with a wide variety of photon controlling coatings, EMI meets the demanding specifications so our customers can create great products that make new discoveries and improve lives.
