Electroforming nickel into a full line of electroformed reflectors and optical products.
 

Off-Axis Parabolic Reflectors

    Optiforms design engineering and manufacturing operation provides precise electroformed and optical products to the lighting, aerospace, military, industrial and opto-electronics markets. Optiforms optical reflector products are manufactured to the highest tolerances for maximum physical and operational performance. We can easily customize nearly any stock or custom electroform to meet your system specifications from ultraviolet through the visible spectrum, and into the infrared region, in addition to your non-optical mechanical assemblies. Our integrated operation can supply you with the application of a large selection of thin film coatings for these products, utilizing electro-deposition techniques as your production partner. Optiforms can help you if your application requires a supplier of precision, rugged and economical reflector assemblies with thin film coating capability.

Off-Axis Parabolic Graph

Standard Thin Film Coatings by Category:

    An off-axis reflector or an off-axis mirror is a light control device based on a geometric curve that directs light to or from a focal point depending on use. An off axis parabolic has a focal point on one end and a parallel beam on the other. An off axis ellipse uses two focal points. It is "off axis" due to the fact that the reflection takes place outside the axis line of the geometric curve it is designed around.

    Off-axis reflector geometries are produced utilizing precision tool fixtures thus achieving high registration accuracies with regard to optical geometry. Reflector bases are provided with a three bolt pattern to allow fine adjustments and easy mounting.

    Optiforms, Inc. specializes in custom designed reflective metal optical products and can easily produce specially tailored off-axis components other than those listed herein.

    Stock reflectors are coated with electrodeposited bright rhodium. Custom vacuum or electrodeposited coatings are also available for specialized applications.
