Installation of a QED Technologies Q22-X MRF Finishing machine has expanded manufacturing capabilities at Coastal Optical Systems, Inc. "The QED technology improves our ability to both deliver prototype precision systems in a timely manner and cost effectively deliver multiple copies of these complex systems" said Jay Kumler, President of Coastal Optical. "Immediately this deterministic manufacturing technology has improved our throughput of aspheric elements. The technology eliminates a time and cost variability which traditionally has been unavoidable," added Kumler. Coastal Optical Systems, Inc., founded in 1991, designs and manufactures precision lens assemblies primarily for aerospace and defence, machine vision and metrology, digital imaging and projection, optical networking applications.
