Optical Tooling

Conceived around the use of lenses, reticules, mirrors and prisms to control light rays, optical alignment is a refinement of theories of measurement represented in the long-used and more familiar transit and level. Although optical tooling was first developed during World War II to satisfy the demands of the aerospace industry, its introduction into the private sector was delayed by the high costs of maintaining the associated equipment and personnel. Applications for optical alignment have since surfaced in many fields where machine tooling and manufacturing tolerances are particularly critical.

Assured that Anderson Survey Company is full equipped and ready to respond, the client who has only occasional need is spared the expense of maintaining this technology in-house.
