Optographics is the production of precision masters and the replication of these patterns in metallic depositions or photographic emulsions on various substrates. At Gurley Precision Instruments, we have taken Optographics from its infancy to the continuously expanding state of the art that we have today. Some of our more standardized Optographic products include:

Reticles, Resolution Targets (including USAF & Sayce), Gratings, Step Wedges, Optical Rulers Field Finders, Rapid Comparators, Encoder Discs & Scales, Apertures and Grids

General capabilities include:

• Precision master generation, both linear and rotary.
• Substrate fabrication including shaping, drilling and grinding & polishing of glass, and cutting and hole punching of film.
• High vacuum deposition of coatings.
• Pattern replication from prototypes to high volume on flat, curved, or odd shaped surfaces.
• Image contrast control and multiple image registration.
• Assembly, including bonding of encoder discs to hubs and reticle, or scale mounting in holders.
• Inspection to MIL-I-45208 specifications.
