Quality Control and Testing
• Complete In-House: Design, Testing, and Production
• Exacting Tolerances and Quality Assurance
Every step of RMI’s manufacturing process, from design to delivery, is
carefully controlled by the principles of lean manufacturing to assure
the highest possible quality products. All phases are closely monitored
to guarantee greater production flexibility, faster turn-around time
and quicker problem resolution.
For optics, our highly
trained engineers and technicians employ state-of-the-art
interferometers, auto collimators, and optical comparators to inspect
and measure the various critical optical parameters: surface figure,
surface quality, dimensions, etc. For coatings, the latest UV-NIR and
IR spectrophotometers are used to verify the performance of all our
coatings.

Several types of lasers including Argon-Ion, HeNe, high power YAG and CO2 lasers, are used to measure scattering, phase retardation, reflectivity and to conduct absorption and laser damage threshold measurement. An ellipsometer is used to test phase shift and polarization.
RMI offers one of the largest and most complete environmental testing facilities anywhere, including adhesion, abrasion, temperature, humidity, salt-spray, shock/vibration, helium leak, water solubility and radiation.
 ISO 9001:2000 Certified
In recognition of our continuing dedication to quality, RMI earned ISO 9001:2000 certification in November of 2003. The newest and most stringent version of the well-known quality standard adds a focus on management systems and overall company health.
