Machine Shop

Machine Shop

Seattle Photonics has an advanced CNC series of machine tools used to build the tooling for alignment and test of our optical assemblies as well as parts for our prototype and production optical and opto-mechanical systems. Our shop works closely with our mechanical engineering team to minimize model translation issues and this efficient communication path allows us to fabricate mechanical components quickly and cost effectively. With the understanding of the demands optical systems require, our shop regularly holds tolerances to 0.025mm and often under 0.010mm. In addition to mechanical parts, we also machine optical components i.e. we have built a custom optical centering station that can hold decentering tolerances to within 2 microns.
