Optical Products
A new client contacted Blue Ridge with a unique challenge. They had developed a device which utilized laser technology to measure emissions remotely. To achieve this, they required a reflective mirror with an internal pyramid structure where the walls were precisely positioned and optically flat. The shape precluded a machining operation to achieve the desired characteristics.
Blue Ridge refined casting techniques to produce the parts needed.
Aluminum optical products will never make up a large part of our business. Our achievement here demonstrates the surface quality and precision achievable at significant volumes with the pressure casting process.
