Oasys Acquires Diamond Turning

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MANCHESTER, N.H., July 13, 2006 -- Oasys Technology LLC announced it has acquired Diamond Turning Inc. (DTI), a Manchester, N.H., provider of precision diamond-turned optics. It makes precision reflective, diffractive and refractive elements for use in infrared, visible and ultraviolet systems. Terms of the acquisition, which closed on July 7, were not disclosed.

Oasys, which is also based in Manchester, is an OEM supplier of precision electro-optical solutions for aerospace, defense, homeland security and commercial markets. The company said the acquisition will reduce its lead times for development and production of electro-optical systems and subassemblies; increase its competitiveness through performance enhancements and cost reductions by enabling it to closely couple precision optical fabrication to optical, mechanical and electrical design engineering; and reduce its overhead and administrative costs.

"The DTI acquisition is a very significant milestone for Oasys," said Mike Couture, CEO of Oasys. "It is the first acquisition we have made, and DTI immediately lets us extend our IP into optical manufacturing technology as well as broaden the range of services and products we offer our customers."

Glossary
diamond turning
Diamond turning, also known as diamond machining or diamond cutting, is a precision machining process used to produce high-quality optical surfaces and components with extremely tight tolerances. It involves the use of a single-point diamond cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece, typically made of metals, plastics, or optical materials like glass or crystals. In diamond turning, the cutting tool, which has a diamond tip, is controlled with high precision and moved relative to the...
infrared
Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
ultraviolet
That invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelengths range from 1 to 400 nm.
visible
That term pertaining to the spectral region that can be perceived by the eye.
