Advanced Fabrication Solutions for Astronomical Instruments
Backed by our long-standing history of delivering highly reliable optical instruments and our deep expertise in ultra-precision tooling and mold-cutting technologies, Canon’s micro-machining capabilities have evolved to support the development of next-generation astronomical instruments. We enable micro-machining at the micron scale—achieving exceptionally sharp edges and complex free-form cuts—while maintaining rigorous nano-scale surface flatness and roughness specifications. Partner with Canon to realize highly efficient and ultra-precise components for your observatory’s spectroscopes and imaging systems.
