VisiMax Adds Buhler Chamber

Optical coating facility VisiMax Technologies Inc. has upgraded its coating facilities with the addition of a Buhler SYRUSpro 1350 chamber.

The system provides optical monitoring capabilities that will expand VisiMax’s product offering to include higher precision optical coatings. The new chamber also provides high accuracy and high yield levels for precision optics, which will allow VisiMax to deliver on uninterrupted, 24/7 volume production of optical filters.

The new equipment arrived from Germany on July 25 and has been installed in the company’s 18,000-sq-ft facility that holds elite, computer-controlled, high-volume coating systems. Acquired by new leadership in 2010, VisiMax has promised a renewed focus on customer commitment and consistency in order to improve and perfect their processes.

“We are thrilled to be adding the Buhler chamber to our lab,” said Brian Murphy, owner of VisiMax. “All of our associates are eager to explore the new capabilities and production options. While testing needs to be completed and full operation isn't likely until the fall, the company is excited to work with the new chamber and looks forward to seeing how it fits into their processes.”

VisiMax is a precision optical coating services facility with expertise in thin-film processes for glass and plastic optical components.
