Elcan Optical Technologies

Elcan Optical Technologies is North America's largest
and most fully integrated manufacturer of electro-optical and
opto-mechanical systems and subsystems. We have experience
in both the commerical and government markets and work to all
military specifications. CAPABILITIES:
From a comprehensive suite of computerized optical design and
CAD programs in the engineering departments to complete opto-
mechanical testing capabilities, ELCAN is equipped with the most
modern equipment to undertake both large-volume production and
prototype quantities for conventional, state-of-the-art, and
research programs. Full machining capabilities; surface treat-
ment; optical grinding and polishing of spherical, aspherical,
and plano optics; diamond machining of optical components in
glass, metal, and infrared materials; microprocessor-controlled
thin-film coating facilities; and optical measurement and testing
apparatus enable ELCAN to undertake the fabrication, assembly,
and test of this complex optical equipment. New developments
are underway in optical data storage equipment for harsh environ-
ments and military systems, super wide band coating, weight re-
duction techniques using plastics, and diffractive optics.
Special capabilities exist in the fields of glass and optical
materials, optical lenses, seekers, night vision, helicopter
sighting systems, target acquisition equipment, and gun align-
ment and control systems.
EQUIPMENT: ELCAN's equipment includes in-house IBM and HP com-
puting hardware, Eros Modulation Transfer Function measuring
benches, environmental test facilities, CNC machining centers,
a full set of optical measuring equipment including Tropel digi-
tal measuring interferometer, microprocessor-controlled coating
chambers, Leitz 3-axis coordinate measuring machine, and seven
diamond machining centers (flycutters, aspheric generators, and
four-axis flat generators.)
EXPERIENCE: ELCAN's experience is outlined in four different
areas:
Photography/Reconnaissance-design and manufacture of photographic
lenses for the Leica M and R cameras; production of cameras for
instrumentation and event recording; design and manufacture of
lenses used in underwater applications for military and commer-
cial applications; and design and fabrication of lenses used in
aerial reconnaissance, earth resources, and space applications
with focal lengths from 18mm to 900mm.
Custom Commercial Assemblies and Systems-optics for optical data
storage, X-ray equipment, image intensifiers, and microfilm sys-
tems; complex periscope viewing systems for use in high radiation
nuclear environments; and industrial, electro-optical equipment
including laser scanners, non-contact inspection devices, and
quality control instruments.
Other Military Applications-design and manufacture of visual and
infrared systems for guidance and fire control applications in-
cluding tank fire control and muzzle reference systems, bino-
culars, rifle sights, weapon sights, range finders (optical and
laser), HUD and HDD optics, and night vision products, both
image intensification and far infrared.
Research and Development-optical countermeasures, diffractive
optics, optical data storage for harsh environments, thermal
imaging, image intensification, and optics for space.

Elcan Projection System Lenses & Light Engines

Elcan Infrared Imaging Lenses
Characterized by their compact size, light weight design, and ability to yield bright, razor sharp images, the ELCAN Family of IR Imaging Lenses are considered to be some of the most versatile and adaptive lenses available today.

Diamond-machined Optics And Components
Elcan prides itself on its diamond-machining capabilities. With nine CNC diamond turning machines under separate climate control, the diamond-machining facility at ELCAN is one of the largest and most advanced in North America.

Elcan Optical Sights
The ELCAN BLACKCAT, HI-MAG, and standard sights are world renouned for their rugged designs and light weight optics. Available in 3.4, 6 or 10 power and with day or night vision capabilities, the ELCAN family of optical sights are your best choice for superior target acquisition.

Semiconductor, Metrology, Opto Mechanical Assembly
ELCAN produces beam expanding, scanning and collection system opto mechanical assemblies for metrology. Systems utilized for the manufacture of semi conductors. ELCAN has the resources to provide custom Design, development, and manufacture or to work concurrently in design efforts. Concurrent Design efforts insure incorporation of ELCAN cutting edge technologies and capabilities. ELCAN is your high quality and best valve optical/ mechanical supplier through technology and automation.
