Justifying a custom lens for your optical product

December 10, 2023

When looking for optical components for your application, the first port of call is often the off-the-shelf market, and quite rightly so. Off-the-shelf optical components offer advantages for optical system design, including typically shorter delivery times and lower costs.

Justifying a custom lens for your optical product – Resolve Optics

Even from Resolve Optics‘ own point of view, we do not want to waste a lot of time for no reason. If a suitable lens is available and that lens meets all your optical and environmental requirements, then why look further.

However, when an application optically requires something a little more demanding such as high performance, high-resolution, compactness or a large format image, using an off-the-shelf lens will force you to accept a compromise in one or more aspects of optical performance. The result of such compromises can be a reduction in optical performance, a bulkier less attractive product, shorter product life and loss of competitive advantage – all of which lead to lower profitability.

When justifying the typically higher cost of a custom design, Resolve Optics recommends that you consider the many benefits of an application optimized optical system.

• You will be investing in an optical design that meets or exceeds your application requirements with no compromise.
• The mechanical design of your optical system can also be optimized to your application.
• You get exclusivity and hence competitive advantage.

• Security of supply is assured, for as long as you require the lens. We will never discontinue production while you still place batch orders. You have the peace of mind that you will not suddenly be forced to redesign your application due to a lens becoming obsolete.

These are a just few advantages that can be received from a custom design and such may not cost as much as you think. As an organization committed to reproducibly producing top quality, application-optimized optical components, and systems for customers – Resolve Optics operates to strict ISO9001 guidelines and invest in advanced testing equipment and the firm’s highly trained staff.
