Thin Film Optical Coating Systems

XL designs and furnishes custom thin film coating systems.

Chambers, Planetaries & Control Systems

Our customers choose from cylinder, box and custom shapes depending on the size and shape of the optic or part to be treated. Typical sizes range from less than 1 meter to more than 2 meters. XL designs and fabricates planetary systems to ensure that even the most complex optic is coated to specification. Systems are designed for both "job" and "process" applications.

In every case, XL's deep knowledge of high vacuum, electro-mechanical systems design, and system controls & HMI is key to a successful implementation.
