INCOM'S FIBEROPTIC FACEPLATES
INCOM offers the largest variety of material types and sizes for any imaging requirement. Our patented pressing furnace design makes it possible to press blocks with a cross section of up to 12" x 11", the largest in the world. Rectangular faceplates with a higher aspect ratio are available up to 18" in length. Also available is INCOM's revolutionary MEGAdraw® (zero shear) process, which provides distortion-free fiberoptic material for all faceplate requirements. All of our faceplates can be custom designed to fit into any optical system. With our variety of CNC diamond grinding equipment, we can form even the most complex shapes.
