PRISMATIC

Prismatic tuning utilizes a computer-aided alignment process which allows any filter to be tuned as part of the assembly process. Integrated automated data collection on units is analyzed to identify and correct trends in manufacturing and material Quality.

Prismatic tuning cuts down on process time and allows manufacturing flexibility by eliminating the need for skilled technical labor.

Manufacturing Process and Quality Control

• Manufacturing starts with a supply base qualified using the Production Parts Approval Process.
• 
  
• Rigorous pre-production qualification is conducted on all products to eliminate variation in volume production.
• 
  
• Controls on Key Process Indicators are implemented to ensure consistent process outputs.
• 
  
• Processes are designed to minimize cycle time, streamline manufacturing flow and minimize process variation.
• 
  
• Cycle times and yields are continuously monitored against goals to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• 
  
• Automated tuning process eliminates variation in electrical characteristics.
