The Excelitas corrosion resistant windows provide low defect, extreme environmental stability, and mechanical and chemical (abrasion, salt fog) durability using our proprietary Ion Beam Sputtered (IBS) coating technology.
Excelitas uses techniques such as continuous polishing and double-side polishing to produce optical surfaces of exceptional flatness. Double-side polishing is used to efficiently produce plane-parallel surfaces of up to 300mm diameter with typical flatness levels of approximately 20nm RMS per cm of diameter.
Continuous polishing consists of holding parts in a ring-lap configuration typically on a table made of pitch and is used to achieve much higher flatness levels, approximately 3nm RMS per cm of diameter, on parts up to 250mm diameter.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
