PG&O® Provides High-Volume Optical Manufacturing
Capabilities include cost-effective, large volume optical components up to 100,000 parts per month with timely delivery.
Santa Ana, CA – Aug. 19, 2024 – Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O – www.pgo.com), a world leader in the optical manufacturing industry for nearly 40 years, announces the improved capability to produce high-volume, high-quality optical components that operate from 0.2 um to 15 um.
PG&O’s recently announced PR Hoffman 5400 double-sided polishing (DSP) machine increases the company’s high-volume optics manufacturing capacity. The new equipment combines with state-of-the-art CNC machining capabilities, precision glass scribing, edging, and exceptional thin-film coating processes to deliver volume parts up to 100,000 high-quality optics per month. The DSP machine provides optimal surface integrity, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability. For customers who require a large-scale production run or a customized optical solution, the company offers precision finished optics and thin films, on time and on budget.
PG&O’s president, Dan Bukaty, Jr. notes, “We are delighted to offer our newly-enhanced, high-volume optical manufacturing from our 18,000 sq. ft. Southern California facility. Our team of experienced professionals brings unparalleled expertise to each project ensuring delivery of products that meet the highest reliability and quality standards in the industry. With our new double-sided polishing machine we can now provide highly precise optics in the shortest time possible. We are proud to be your partner in complete optical and high-volume solutions.”

ABOUT THE COMPANY: Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O®) – www.pgo.com - PG&O provides reliable and cost-effective, high-precision polished optics and prisms from 0.040 inches up to 30 inches diameter, precision thin-film coatings, custom and standard components, and turnkey optical solutions for operation in the 0.2 µm to 15 µm wavelength range. The company also offers highly durable sapphire optics for broad-spectrum applications and finished infrared (IR) optics fabrication services for mission-critical tasks.
The company’s recently acquired PR Hoffman 5400 double-sided polishing (DSP) machine permits us to deliver parts with remarkable dimensional accuracy and superior surface integrity. Whether you require high-precision optical components, semiconductor wafers, aerospace parts or medical devices, our new DSP capability ensures unrivalled surface quality and consistency in every batch.
Our extensive glass substrates inventory combines with our expanded polishing services, and other fabrication capabilities such as CNC machining, slicing, sawing, scribing, edging, and assembly, to deliver finished optics and precision thin-film coatings. Ask about our unique re-polishing services that can salvage fabricated thin-film optics. This can save an optics manufacturer time and money by replacing a dielectric coating that has been damaged or does not meet the specifications.
We have two large coating chambers and an expert, in-house engineering staff to assure continuity and supply optical solutions to meet the vital demands of military, aerospace, biomedical, imaging, laser, avionics, digital cinema, life sciences, solar, display, homeland security, automotive, and emerging markets. From simple optics and plano optical components to complex shapes, precision and multilayer thin films, intricate assemblies, and custom optical design solutions, PG&O is your key supplier.
