Opto-Mechanical Design

 In precision optical systems, the slightest deficiency in opto-mechanical design will impair the performance of the most sophisticated optical components. When customizing optics, many clients neglect the impact of opto-mechanical design shortcomings to the overall system. Hyperion’s design and optimization services can help prevent prototyping/ design pitfalls.

 

 

First and foremost, our engineering team seeks to fully understand your optical goals and the system performance requirements. Before proposing a mechanical structural design, our team will gain in-depth insights about your application needs through a series of technical communication. This investment in the preliminary design phase is critical for the efforts in setting the appropriate opto mechanical systems design constraints based on the system function. These constraints enable us to convert the precision optical components into a high-performance and reliable optical system.

 

 

Hyperion's vigorous work process is designed to result in an optimal solution:

 

 

1. Our mechanical team works with you to understand the requirements of the optical parameters in respect to the mechanical system

 

2.Our optical team works with you to understand the impact of mechanical design on the overall optical system performance

 

3.Our mechanical and optical engineering teams work collaboratively to:

 

a.Formulate spacing and centration requirements of complete optical components

 

b.Determine material specifications

 

c.Determine packaging requirements (e.g. minimum and maximum size and weight restrictions, environmental  standards such as shock, vibration, operating temperature)

 

d.Perform cost and production yield analysis

 

e.Finalize production schedule and requirements

 

4.Verify the design by using SolidWorks to create 3D models and structures
