Lens Mounting System — Aerospace Defence Customer, Israel. ±0.005mm.
An Israeli aerospace defence company needed a precision lens mounting system in aerospace-grade aluminium with specialised hard-coat anodising treatment. Most Indian manufacturers turned the enquiry down. Amsol accepted it, manufactured to spec, sourced the aerospace-certified coating vendor, and delivered on time.
Tolerances Most Indian Manufacturers Would Not Accept. Amsol Did.
An Israeli aerospace defence company required a lens mounting system for a defence application. The requirement combined three challenges that individually were manageable — together they eliminated most Indian manufacturers from consideration.
The combination of ±0.005mm tolerances on optical interfaces, Ra 0.4 µm surface finish on seating faces, and a specialised hard-coat anodising treatment not available at standard industrial processors meant most Indian manufacturers turned the enquiry away. Amsol accepted it.
Every Requirement — How Amsol Met It
The technical requirements for this aerospace defence programme were exacting. Here is how each specification was addressed.
| Requirement | Challenge Level | How Amsol Met It |
|---|---|---|
| ±0.005mm on optical interfaces | Precision CNC required | Precision tooling + CMM verification on every critical dimension |
| Ra 0.4 µm on mounting faces | Special finishing required | Carbide finish milling + hand polishing — profilometer confirmed |
| Hard-coat anodising — aerospace spec | Non-standard processor needed | Aerospace-certified vendor sourced and qualified by Amsol |
| Aerospace-grade Al alloy + MTC | Full traceability required | Certified material, MTC with heat number provided with delivery |
| Dimensional stability — thermal cycles | Stress relief required | Stress relief heat treatment before finish machining — residual stress eliminated |
| Delivery to Israel — on time | International logistics | Delivered within agreed lead time — customer received on schedule |
Every Requirement Met. Relationship Continues.
The prototypes passed optical alignment validation at the customer's facility in Israel. The relationship that started with a prototype programme continues as an active supply relationship.
