Exact Engineering designs, develops and fabricates a diverse range of products including products within the aerospace, medical and scientific industries. We use SolidWorks CAD software for mechanical design and ANSYS FEA for structural analysis.
Please see the projects page for examples of work we have completed.
Optomechanical engineering is a niche field of engineering involving the design of mechanical components, structures and mechanisms specifically for optical systems. These components are designed to hold and constrain the optical elements without adversely impacting their performance.
Optomechanical systems often require mounting of refractive and reflective optics and mechanisms to an “optical bench” structure which maintains the precise alignment of the optical elements. Some systems are comprised entirely of “fixed” optical elements while others require precision motion such as for a focusing mechanism or a multi-axis gimbaled mirror.
Paramount to the performance of an optomechanical system is a stable, athermal metering structure designed to maintain alignment of optical components despite environmental impacts such as temperature and vibration. Designing to tolerances of microns and microradians is necessary for precision optomechanical engineering, and at Exact Engineering, such precision is our passion.
Examples of our optomechanical design and analysis capabilities include:
When precision movement is required, we prefer to use flexure based systems over bearing-guided systems when possible. Flexures provide frictionless, stictionless motion with infinite life. Some examples of motion systems we have designed are 3-axis gimbals, linear focus mechanisms, and scan mirrors.
Exact Engineering can provide optical engineering design and analysis or work with existing optical designs. Examples of our design and engineering capabilities include:
