Go behind the scenes and discover the critical technical capability that sets Precision Optics Corporation (POC) apart!
In this exclusive episode of the Focus on Precision podcast, we sit down with CEO Joe Forkey and Richard Cyr from the Micro-Optics Laboratory at POC. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the Optics Lab. The engine of POC’s innovation, to reveal the secrets behind manufacturing components smaller than a grain of salt.
The discussion focuses on the Micro-Precision™ advantage:
- The Technical Edge: Hear what makes fabricating sub-millimeter lenses and assemblies fundamentally different from standard optics. Discover the proprietary methods POC developed to achieve extreme precision and scalability, solving major challenges like component centration and alignment.
- The Strategic Value: Hear why the vertical integration of the Optics Lab is the company’s single most critical differentiator, speeding up product cycles and directly influencing the design limits for customers in robotic surgery and defense.
- Innovation vs. Limitation: Learn how the internal team collaborates with clients to tackle “impossible” technical requirements and what investments in culture and training are required to maintain this elite level of expertise.
- The Future: Get an inside look at the next frontier in micro-optics. Are we still aiming for smaller sizes, or are advancements shifting to new materials and complex multi-element assemblies?
