Optical systems and metrology

Creating custom optical and laser solutions, for high-complexity and high-mix markets is not easy. It requires a fusion of multiple specialized skills and knowledge. International OEMs -that want to design, develop and manufacture these high-precision, measurement and testing solutions at speed – face a daunting challenge. The solution? NTS’ unique combination of optics, software, electronics and mechanical expertise and experience.

With NTS, our customers have a partner that can develop, assemble and test complex optical, laser and opto-mechatronic tooling, systems and modules, both for one-off and repeat production. And do that with time efficiency. In other words – we support our customers in staying ahead of the competition, both in terms of time-to-market and technological development.

Application Areas

What is common between electron microscopes and silicon wafer manufacturing? The ability to attain precision, aided by our optical and laser solutions. From ocular surgical instruments, level sensors in semiconductor equipment, to tooling for optimal levelling of silicon wafers and sensors to determine the firmness of cheese curd: we bring in our engineering expertise and fit-for-purpose processes to produce optimal solutions for our customers. Our applications include illumination, imaging and sensing solutions, laser beam delivery as well as integrated Nanostructure testing solutions. We have developed over 100 custom test & measuring solutions and opto-mechatronic systems in our core markets.

Idea to Working Prototype: Faster Time-to-market

How do we corporate with OEMs? We can take their challenge or idea, add our engineering and multidisciplinary expertise to get a best-fit design and build a working prototype quicker. Having all the capabilities in-house, including optical lab infrastructure, means faster time-to-market and continuous on time delivery for our customers. Once the prototype is final, we can move to small or large series inhouse production.  

NTS houses both development and production capabilities together, resulting in logistics and communication efficiency and shorter turnaround time, as well as the same high quality, every time. Regardless of whether a customer outsources manufacturing or does it in-house, we ensure that the delivery timelines are seamlessly aligned with their supply chain.

“Move seamlessly and quickly from Initial Thought to High Quality Custom Optics and Laser Solution in the Fields of Illumination, Imaging, Beam Delivery, Sensing Applications and integrated Nanostructure testing solutions”
