CALL US < Back Additional Facilities Mar 13, 2018 DOTI has begun the moving process to new facilities! DOTI announces that it has leased a new facility to be used as our Interim Staging and Warehouse Site. This will be our marshalling area for large components going into Assembly. This facility will be used while we complete negotiations and construction of a Permanent Facility to house Customer Final Acceptance & Test. The addition of these two facilities will double DOTI’s working footprint to just over 34000 sq ft. Once the new facility is constructed, DOTI will retain the interim property as a Logistical Staging Site for Major Components and Products. DOTI is adding Professional and Skilled Production Positions in tandem with these Facilities Enhancements. DOTI will be making announcements about new Equipment and Processes in 2018.

Each of the VERITAS telescopes has 345 adjustable glass facets which were manufactured by D.O.T.I., Roundrock, Texas with slumping and grinding to get the optical figure. The facets were aluminized and anodized at the Whipple Observatory. Mirror Facets for the VERITAS Telescopes by E. ROACHE, R. IRVIN, J. S. PERKINS, K. HARRIS, A. FALCONE, J. FINLEY AND T. WEEKES Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 670 Mount Hopkins Road, Amado, AZ BACK From Harvard Abstract : Each of the VERITAS telescopes has 345 adjustable glass facets which were manufactured by D.O.T.I., Roundrock, Texas with slumping and grinding to get the optical figure. The facets were aluminized and anodized at the Whipple Observatory. The parameters (reflectivity, focal length and blur circle) were measured. The design specifications for focal length (12.00 m +/- 1%) and spot size (< 10 mm) were surpassed by a factor of two. The anodizing process will be described and the effect of exposure at the VERITAS site on the reflectivity described.

SPHERICAL MIRRORS CONTACT A SALES ASSOCIATE Spherical Mirrors Advances in projection technology and rising simulator specifications require the most precise collimating display surfaces. Exceed current and future specifications with DOTI's Large Area Spherical Mirrors. DOTI produces the hightest quality optical components available, allowing pilots to train in the most realistic environment and giving them an immersive, "out-the-window" view, with depth and realism. Product Applications Used in a variety of industries from solar energy to aerospace research development, precision spherical mirrors are a great way to get spectacular and accurate results. With minimal deviation from sphere RoC (Radius of Curvature) and available sub-wave surface accuracy, our spherical mirrors continue to exceed customer expectation. An array of materials, sizes, thickness, coatings, etc. are available to meet every need. Simulation Military / Civil Aviation Automotive Maritime Gaming / Entertainment Construction CONCAVE SPHERICAL MIRRORS 1 Simulation / Remote Operation As the demand for more realistic simulation increases, so does the need for collimated displays. Collimation within the visual display is the one key aspect of a system that gives the user the most realistic simulation experience. Training with a true depth of field allows for increased performance in the field when compared to zero depth systems. 2 Solar Power Increase energy collection concentration efficiency, reduce system footprint, and improve overall system performance with DOTI precision spherical mirrors. CONVEX SPHERICAL MIRRORS 1 Convex Spherical Mirrors Widely used to expand light paths, convex mirrors can reduce the total number of mirrors needed within a visual system of display. Utilizing DOTI precision spherical mirrors for light path expansion will ensure the most accurate and uniform expansion of light. How can we serve you? CONTACT US

The value of collimated light in simulation and gaming is that it provides the viewer with the most accurate and realistic depiction of the simulation activity, unlike flat panel trainers. COLLIMATORS CONTACT A SALES ASSOCIATE Collimators Collimated light is a bundle of light rays traveling parallel to one another which implies the light will not disperse with distance. Collimating Displays have been in existence for at least 30 years. Some credit Singer-Link with developing the first collimating display for training a pilot with a more realistic visual display system that included a television monitor being reflected off a beam splitter and onto a concave spherical mirror, the positioning of which provided the observer with light rays that were essentially collimated. The value of collimated light in simulation and gaming is that it provides the viewer with the most accurate and realistic depiction of the simulation activity, unlike flat panel trainers.
