Optical Assembly

Benefits of Optical Assembly at Sydor include:

• Optical-grade bonding of filter stacks and other flat optics
• Stress-free, thermo-set bonding of windows for harsh environments
• UV adhesives for high-volume manufacturing
• Design for Assembly (DFA) / Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for best cost and robust assembly processes
• Low to High volume orders
• 1-Factory software that manages and tracks all aspects of quality control
• Trained staff in the application of Flexible RTV Adhesive Mounting for Glass and Crystal

Flat-surface Bonding Options

Sydor’s flat-surface bonding creates resilient and durable optics. Sydor offers ultra-violet curing for optimum transmitted wave-front error and wedge-free, bubble-free results. Another option, flexible thermo-set adhesives, are ideal for maximum flexibility for high CTE substrates and provide excellent durability.

Our sealed components are able to withstand harsh environments tested at -175 degrees F to 400 degrees F.

Applications that Commonly Use Optical Assembly:

• Bonded windows for harsh environments
• Scopes for defense and special forces usage
• Aerial surveillance windows requiring VIS through IR
• High-powered laser system optics
• Optical filter applications across multiple industries
