Advanced Optics Manufacturing Team

Our Advanced Optics Manufacturing Team is dedicated to support prototype-to-production from start to finish. The race to develop and place instruments in the field is only getting shorter in today’s competitive optics marketplace.

Our Advanced Optics Manufacturing Team

Our dedicated group of highly experienced and skilled engineers, machinists, technicians, and
project managers get proof-of-concept and prototype projects off the ground for defense,
aerospace, and semiconductor applications. This team represents CMM Optic’s fastest way to
support your project at the outset, from design to concept to final production, as they are
dedicated to your project’s success.

CMM Optic’s fast-steering mirrors, air bearing systems and scanners, reflective/refractive optical
assemblies are found in today’s large/small telescopes, test rigs, laser systems, HUD systems, and range finders/targeting systems globally.

Providing solutions at the production level.
We set aside some of our site capacity to help develop the next generation of products,
including our 5-axis milling, mill-turn, diamond turning, inspection, and lens alignment equipment
capacity. Only the highest precision results, documented with our world-class metrology suite,
are created daily on our manufacturing floor.

Only the best people.
We have pulled from our most experienced and creative team members to build this fast-response team which can nurture a project from those critical prototypes all the way to production volumes.

Project Management
Even in the early stage of scheduling the initial quote to the final measurement and inspection of production parts, our goal is always to give 100% on-time delivery and 98+% part acceptance.

CMM Optic is AS9100 and ISO 9001 certified by NSF-ISR at both Troy and Rochester Hills, Michigan, facilities.

We aren’t bigger, just better.
Redefining What Is Possible.

"CMM Optic has gone above and beyond expectations in essentially all aspects of the business.  They are extremely thorough, meticulous, and communicative.  The quality of product is top-tier.  CMM Optic always follows through on various requests, all the way from design/technical feedback to purchasing expedites.  We have the utmost confidence when doing business with CMM Optic."

Assessing Official Comments:
QUALITY: CMM Optic exceeded all performance and quality objectives of all six mirrors. They exceeded the quality of the triangular mirror surface finish and balancing requirements. The provided mirror surface material of the triangular mirror is considerably tougher than what was specified. This is of particular value to the government because this triangular mirror is the one most exposed to the hostile environment outside of the pressure vessel of the aircraft. There is also a noticeable difference when operating that can be heard by ear as a lower volume noise level and felt by hand as lower vibrations of the scanner.

SCHEDULE: CMM Optic stated when they could deliver the mirror sets within their proposal and they delivered on time. CMM Optic had some challenges and unforeseen circumstances but managed their time and work accordingly. CMM Optic regularly communicated progress, delays, and potential pitfalls that affected the mirrors by consulting with the Forest Service COR and technical staff.

COST CONTROL: Firm fixed priced contract

Overall, I congratulate CMM Optic on their success in building these custom one-of-a-kind mirrors and exceeding the specified quality.

Given what I know today about the contractor's ability to perform under this contract's most significant requirements, I would recommend them for similar requirements in the future.

“In all this complexity and suspense, we have now, at least twice troubleshot our problems by pulling parts off the machines and replacing them with other parts you've sent us and every time the change over showcases the amazing precision and consistency CMM delivers and has also elevated you and I both to semi-hero status. 

These swaps show the issue isn't (CMM), and eliminates all options except the ultimate solution for me and so we are up and running quickly after such an exercise.  One reason people have become comfortable with these exercises is because they have confidence in CMM to save us if our team here ruins a part or breaks something during our fiddling around with everything.”
