Why Choose TENGHUI for Optical Equipment Parts?

We manufacture mechanical components for telescopes, imaging equipment, and optical instrument assemblies. Our team reviews locating features, threads, mating surfaces, and finishing requirements before production.

ISO 9001:2015 Certified

Production and inspection are managed against approved drawings and order requirements.

In-House CNC Machining

CNC milling and turning for metal and engineering plastic components, from individual prototypes to repeat orders.

Telescope Component Experience

Experience supplying telescope-related aluminum parts and carbon fiber tubes, with dimensional, appearance, and packaging requirements reviewed for each order.

Assembly-Focused Drawing Review

We review locating diameters, mounting faces, thread specifications, hole patterns, and access for machining and inspection.

Coordinated Surface Finishing

Black anodizing, hard anodizing, painting, and other suitable treatments are reviewed for appearance, contact conditions, and finished dimensions.

Delivery Planning

Straightforward CNC prototypes can often be completed in 3–7 working days. Production, finishing, and carbon fiber tube schedules are confirmed separately.

Optical Equipment Prototyping & Production

TENGHUI manufactures mechanical parts that hold, connect, and support optical assemblies.

We support fit checks, assembly trials, development builds, and repeat production. Machining follows the agreed drawings; optical alignment and system performance remain subject to the assembly design and validation.

Optical Grade Materials

Materials for Optical Equipment Parts

Material selection depends on weight, stiffness, temperature, contact conditions, and finishing requirements.

Material Selection Notes Typical Components
Aluminum 6061 A common choice for lightweight machined parts and anodized finishes. Housings, barrels, rings, adapters, and mounting plates.
Aluminum 7075 Considered where higher strength is required; corrosion protection and assembly methods need review. Loaded brackets, supports, and fixtures.
Brass Suitable grades support detailed turning and threaded features; material and contact conditions require confirmation. Adjustment components, spacers, and threaded rings.
Stainless Steel 304 / 316L Selected according to corrosion exposure, loading, and surface requirements. Hardware, shafts, spacers, and support components.
POM / Acetal Useful for selected guides, spacers, and low-friction components; creep and temperature require consideration. Bushings, guides, and locating parts.
PC / PMMA Selected according to toughness, transparency, and chemical exposure. Viewing covers and visual prototypes.
Carbon Fiber Composite Tube construction, dimensions, finish, and connection details are project-specific. Telescope tubes and tubular structures.

Material grade, supply condition, availability, and documentation are confirmed during quotation. Transparent plastic parts are not supplied as precision optical elements unless separately specified and accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you manufacture optical elements or mechanical components?

Our focus is mechanical components for optical equipment, including housings, mounts, rings, adapters, brackets, and telescope-related parts.

We also review transparent plastic covers and prototypes. These should not be assumed to meet lens, mirror, imaging, or other precision optical specifications.

2. What tolerances can you achieve?

Selected CNC-machined metal features can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm, subject to engineering review.

Fits and geometric requirements are assessed by feature, material, geometry, and finishing process. Specify datum references, thread requirements, surface roughness, and critical assembly relationships on the drawing.

Inspection methods and dimensional reports are agreed during quotation.

3. How do you control threaded and mating features?

We review thread specifications, locating diameters, seating faces, and coating allowances before machining.

Identify any mating parts, gauges, or assembly samples needed for verification. Where finishing affects a fit, the drawing should clearly state the required finished dimensions and masking areas.

4. Can you provide black finishes for optical equipment?

Yes. Black anodizing and suitable painted finishes can be reviewed according to the material and application.

A black appearance does not by itself establish low reflectance across all wavelengths. If stray-light control is critical, provide the wavelength range, reflectance requirements, and acceptance method.

Color, texture, adhesion, and areas requiring protection should be defined before processing.

5. Can you supply carbon fiber telescope tubes?

Yes. We supply carbon fiber tubes for telescope projects and review inner diameter, outer diameter, length, finish, and mating requirements.

Specify painted and unpainted areas, interface dimensions, and inspection criteria. Tooling, sample approval, production quantity, and packaging are confirmed for each project.

6. How do you inspect and protect the parts?

Inspection follows the agreed drawing and order requirements. Dimensional reports and CMM inspection can be discussed for suitable features.

Cosmetic surfaces, threads, and mating areas are protected during handling and packing. Cleaning, particle limits, vacuum compatibility, or specialized packaging require separate review.

7. What is the typical lead time?

Straightforward CNC prototypes can often be completed in 3–7 working days. Medium and larger production orders commonly require around 15–20 working days.

Complex geometry, material sourcing, finishing, and inspection can extend the schedule. Carbon fiber tubes, new tooling, and sample approvals follow a separately confirmed plan.

8. What information do you need for a quotation?

Please provide:

  • A 3D CAD model and 2D drawing.
  • Material grade and quantity.
  • Critical fits, threads, datum references, and geometric tolerances.
  • Surface roughness and edge requirements.
  • Finish, coating thickness, cosmetic areas, and masking.
  • Relevant mating drawings or assembly details.
  • Inspection, documentation, and packaging requirements.
  • Target delivery date and shipping destination.

For carbon fiber tubes, include diameter and length tolerances, construction requirements where specified, and the required finish on each surface.
