SHL HPE Innovation: Your Partner in Photonics

💡 How SHL Powers the Photonics Industry

Our facility is designed to produce high-tolerance, burr-free components such as:

• Laser housings and optical mounts

• Thermal management assemblies (aluminum heat sinks)

• Fiber coupling holders and precision lens fixtures

• Vacuum-compatible and anodized optical benches

  
  

Even a deviation of 0.005 mm in an optical mount can cause misalignment that degrades beam performance. That’s why we deploy CMM, VMM, and roundness testers to ensure each component meets geometric and surface specifications.

We also apply micro-deburring and ultrasonic cleaning to eliminate particle contamination — a vital step for photonics assemblies integrated into cleanroom production environments.

🧩 Why Global Optics Firms Partner with SHL

• ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified for quality traceability.

• Experience with surface plating and optical coatings, including black anodizing (for light absorption) and electroless nickel (for corrosion protection).

• Support for R&D and low-volume pilot builds, transitioning seamlessly into scaled production.

• Proven track record with OEMs in Singapore, Germany, and the USA, serving optical, LiDAR, and spectroscopy segments.

• Machining capacity up to 38 inches in one setup — suitable for large-format optical bases.

  
  

Quick Fact: The global photonics market is projected to hit USD 900 billion by 2026, growing fastest in laser communication, AR/VR optics, and biomedical imaging systems — all requiring precision mechanical parts.
