Assembly in Action: Design Firm Helps Bring Analyzer to Market
Candela used Owens Design Inc. to design and manufacture it optical surface analyzers.
Candela Instruments (Fremont, CA) supplies optical surface analyzers (OSAs) to the data storage industry. The company needed to quickly move its disk surface scanning technology into full production. The company had proven the technology with a manually loaded machine. But it now wanted to quickly expand the sensing capability within the thin film magnetic disk industry. This meant that a fully automated in-line process was needed.
