Synthetic sapphire and ruby are recognized universally as the ideal material for instruments.
Sapphire is an excellent material for orifice jewels because of its resistance to wear, heat and corrosion, as well as its low friction.
Precision shafts and pivots with radiused conical ends are generally used with vee jewels. Rounded or semi-spherical pivots are used with cup jewels and flat endstones.
To minimize the loss of the light’s performance, ball lenses will be AR coated.
Aperture Wafers are precision controlled orifices where the ID Length is controlled very tightly.
Sapphire's hardness and excellent surface finish provide a superior surface for precision sapphire blades.
Using sapphire nozzles will provide longer life than using metal and we can hold tighter tolerances due to sapphires acceptance of higher surface finish.
A sapphire stylus is a small pin-point component where the end radius is controlled to as small as .001".
