Sapphire Components
IRD Ceramics is a leader in custom sapphire optics customization and manufacture. We have state-of-the-art precision sapphire machining equipment that can produce custom sapphire windows up to 8″ in diameter. Our capabilities include traditional single-side processing as well as double-side lapping and polishing for an efficient yield, exemplary parallelism, and typical flatness of 1/4 wave up to 1/10 wave flatness.

Sapphire Applications
We have become a single-source supplier for industry leaders like Honeywell by reducing cycle time, reducing variations, and eliminating defects and waste.

Consumer
Sapphire’s durability make it a top choice for scratch-resistant consumer products like watches, glasses, and protection glasses.

Industrial
Sapphire windows are used for protective barriers and inspection windows. Sapphire components are also used for mechanical components and precision engineering.

Medical
Sapphire windows are used by the medical industry for heater windows and in chemical process equipment. Sapphire optics with infrared coatings (IR coatings) are also used in numerous applications in radiometry and anesthesiology.

Security
Sapphire windows are used for security windows and as protective covers for motion sensors.
