EXXELENS Custom Optics: Excellence from Concept to Delivery
At EXXELENS, we craft custom optics with unmatched precision, leveraging a streamlined supply chain to deliver tailored solutions for your optical needs. Our comprehensive process ensures quality, efficiency, and innovation at every step. Our users deeply value our services and appreciate the solutions we provide. The tag line ‘Custom Optics – Beyond Expectations’ was chosen for a reason.
1. Optical Engineering
Our journey begins with expert engineering. Our team collaborates closely with clients to design optics that meet exact specifications. Using advanced simulation tools and optical design software, we create precise models, optimizing performance for applications like imaging, laser systems, or medical devices. This phase ensures your vision is translated into a feasible, high-performance design.
2. Rapid Prototyping
Speed meets precision in our rapid prototyping phase. We use cutting-edge 3D printing and CNC machining to produce functional prototypes quickly. This allows clients to test and refine designs early, minimizing development time while ensuring the optic performs as intended in real-world conditions.
3. Material Selection
Material choice is critical to optical performance. We source high-quality plastic materials like optical acrylics, polymers, and specialty crystals, selecting each for its refractive index, durability, and application-specific properties. Our partnerships with trusted suppliers ensure consistent, premium-grade materials tailored to your project.
4. Tool Making
Precision optics demand precision tools. The tool-making process we have access to, creates custom molds, dies, and fixtures with sub-micron accuracy. Using advanced machining and metrology, we ensure tools meet the tight tolerances required for high-performance optics, setting the stage for flawless production.
5. Parts Production
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities bring designs to life. Techniques like CNC-milling, vacuum-casting, diamond turning, and precision molding produce optical components with exceptional accuracy. Whether crafting lenses, prisms, or mirrors, we maintain strict control to ensure every part meets design specifications.
6. Surface Finishing
Surface quality defines optical performance. Our advanced polishing, coating, and finishing processes achieve ultra-smooth surfaces and precise coatings, such as anti-reflective or mirror finishes. These enhance light transmission, durability, and environmental resistance, ensuring optics perform optimally in their intended use.
7. Assembly
Complex optical systems require meticulous assembly. Our partners’ technicians integrate components into assemblies, aligning lenses, mirrors, and other elements with precision. Cleanroom environments and rigorous protocols prevent contamination, ensuring the final system delivers peak performance. As assembly of parts requires deep-rooted specialty skills, we chose to outsource these activities to appropriate partners, yet we can facilitate it where needed.
8. Quality Control
Quality is non-negotiable. Every component and assembly undergoes rigorous quality inspection using visual inspection methods and geometrical validations. We verify optical performance, surface accuracy, and durability, ensuring compliance with industry standards and client specifications. If it is of added value for your project, we do have access to advanced CT-scanning methods for reporting beyond the obvious.
9. Warehousing
Our secure, climate-controlled warehousing facilities store finished optics and components safely, which is ideal in case you have larger volumes ordered with us. Upon commitment and mutual agreements, we can ship out orders in split batches to optimize the delivery flow and mitigate risk for our users. Organized inventory management ensures quick access for just-in-time delivery, minimizing delays while maintaining product integrity until shipment.
10. Logistics
Our global logistics network ensures timely, secure delivery. We partner with reliable carriers to ship our custom optics worldwide, with robust packaging to protect delicate components. Real-time tracking and dedicated support keep you informed every step of the way. Most forwarders make frequent stops at our facilities, with preferred couriers daily.
