Axsys optical systems are found in applications that demand the finest optical surfaces, the highest accuracy, and the tightest motion tolerances. In demanding applications such as airborne thermal targeting, missile tracking, space-borne surveillance, and semiconductor micro-inspection the movement of structures, optics, and electronics must be precisely controlled to ensure the accurate operation of critical functions. And these tolerances must be maintained over long periods of time. Even minor inaccuracies can significantly impact the effectiveness of a satellite, or even more critically, negatively impact the outcome of a military engagement. For over 40 years, Axsys has been designing and delivering accurate and reliable optical and motion control solutions to the US government and to high performance commercial markets. Axsys engineers are applying this experience to create increasingly sophisticated, vertically integrated systems that combine optics and motion. These systems are enabling a growing range of demanding optical applications such as thermal weapons systems, nighttime surveillance cameras, and highly precise medical imagers.
