Bespoke Strategy to Manage Obsolete Optical Components

Periodically organisations are faced with replacing hard to source or obsolete optical components within their camera, sensor or instrument systems.

It is at this critical point that you have to choose whether to search for an off-the-shelf component or to specify a bespoke component that fully meets your needs. Driven by financial considerations – company’s often seek to find an off-the-shelf lens / lens system to replace the obsolete / hard to source component in their product. However adopting an off-the-shelf strategy necessitates accepting risks including having little control over security of supply and compromised performance compared to an optimised bespoke design.

Over the last 20 years Resolve Optics has successfully developed many innovative, high performance OEM lenses for customers seeking to replace hard to source or obsolete optical components with their camera, sensor or instrument system. Drawing upon an experienced team of optical designers – we are able to quickly gain an understanding of the basic physics of the technology associated with your product enabling a novel, optimised and affordable solution to be proposed. Our goal is to provide a fast and flexible optical and mechanical design assessment on all projects. A project engineer is assigned to closely liaise with customers at all points of a development to ensure complete satisfaction with the final lens or optical system.

To create an optimised bespoke design we employ the latest Computer Aided 3D modelling techniques aided by our many years experience in the design and manufacture of specialist lenses and optical products. It is here that quality and reliability are designed into your lens / optical system. Advanced optical manufacturing and CNC machining technology is used to produce high quality components. In assembly, experienced workers build complete assemblies with care and attention to detail. All products are tested before leaving our factory to ensure your complete satisfaction. It is this blend of skills, experience and flexibility that have established Resolve Optics as a leading manufacturer of special OEM lenses and optical products for a significant and growing portfolio of small and large high technology businesses.
