Zygo Corporation (Zygo), a business unit of AMETEK, will be discussing optical metrology instruments and precision optical components for space applications at Space Tech Expo Europe. Taking place in Bremen, Germany, Zygo will be sharing a booth with AMTEKE Engineering Interconnect and Packaging (EIP).
“For over five decades, Zygo has been recognised as a leader in both precision optics fabrication and metrology solutions,” says Peter Kuschnir, European Sales Manager at Zygo. “We are genuinely excited to engage with attendees at Space Tech Expo Europe. Our heritage in optics manufacturing and metrology allows us to contribute significantly to space-based applications, where high-performance 3D metrology is key to achieving manufacturing excellence and improving process development.”
The space industry is seeing an increase in demand for mission-critical optics, which is driving greater precision and partnerships throughout the product development process. From concept to launch, it is pivotal for optical components to meet high levels of quality control and design-for-manufacturing (DfM) standards.
“Our optics are engineered to survive the extreme demands of space,” Kuschnir adds. “With extensive experience in producing optics for satellites and other space applications, Zygo ensures durability and stability throughout the lifecycle of the components. Our designs address thermal dynamics, high vacuum conditions, and radiation exposure, offering robust solutions that remain commercially viable and fit within tight project schedules.”
Zygo’s optical components are designed to endure rigorous space travel and the challenging environments of low Earth orbit. Said components are athermal across a wide temperature range and are fabricated with materials that are designed to resist ionising radiation.
Kuschnir concluded, “With decades of practical expertise behind us, we can confidently provide optical systems that meet the highest standards of performance under extreme conditions — all while ensuring cost-effectiveness and meeting project timelines measured in months, not years.”
If you are attending the Space Tech Expo Europe from 19-21 November 2024, you will be able to find Zygo at Booth ZZ22.
