Optikos, a leader in advanced optical design and metrology systems, provides outsourcing capabilities for companies seeking to develop and commercialize optically based products. Unlike most product design firms, Optikos’ engineers are experts in the field of optics and electro-optical systems design and their real world experiences help clients enjoy successes by taking advantage of proven methods and practices. The result is a well-designed system with deterministic manufacturing processes insuring schedules are met with exceptional product quality.

Optikos’ team of manufacturing experts have the skills to turn design concepts into production worthy product. Employing the ISO9001:2000 Quality Management System plus innovative manufacturing practices, we have a proven track record of meeting all of our client’s supply chain requirements. We know what it takes to ship a quality product on time, and on budget.

Specifications Development:
Optikos and customer develop a set
of performance specifications that
represent the “goals” for the program.
These specifications are the basis for
final system qualification testing.

Initial Design and Layout:
Concepts are made into design layouts
with optical paths and basic mechanical
configurations. At this stage, feasibility
of the program is examined to insure
that performance criteria can be
achieved. Often, system modeling takes
place to validate design issues (e.g. stray
light analysis, thermal issues, mechanical
stability, etc.)

System Design and Layout:
Optics, mechanics, and electronics are
designed and detailed.

Tolerances:
Opto-mechanical tolerances are added
to the concept design.

Build and Test:
We validate the build processes and
overall systems performance. Customers are encouraged to visit and participate when the prototypes are assembled and
tested.

Design Optimization:
Design for Manufacture/Assembly (DFM/DFA)

Sourcing Strategies:
Select and qualify vendors.
Optimize price/performance characteristics.

Manufacturing & Testing Procedures:
Work instructions and inspection procedures
are documented according to ISO:9001 Standards.

Acceptance Testing:
Mutually agreed upon testing criteria is completed and signed off.
