Ophir Optronics’ CO2 Optics Group Introduces EZ-Pack
The First Floating-Lens, Vacuum-Sealed
Packaging For Industrial Laser Optics
Press Release
Environmentally-friendly packaging minimizes contact with optical
surfaces and maximizes shelf-life
Jerusalem, Israel, 25 May 2008 – Ophir Optronics Ltd.,
a global leader in precision IR optics components and laser
measurement equipment, announced today that its CO2 Optics
Group has unveiled EZ-Pack, the most advanced form of
packaging for industrial laser optics.
Composed of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), a recyclable
plastic widely used in the beverage industry, EZ-Pack is
both environmentally-friendly and durable. Due to EZ-Pack’s
innovative design, the lens practically “floats” within its
enclosure, eliminating the need for wrapping paper and a
plastic bag. Because no material comes in contact with the
optical surfaces, there is no potentially dirt of loose fibers
to contend and no cleaning is required prior to mounting.
Every unit is vacuum-sealed to prevent humidity and extend
the lens' shelf-life.
EZ-Pack is now available for standard 1.5-inch diameter
laser lenses. Future versions of the product are being
planned for other lenses and mirrors sizes.
“Proper packaging, shipment and storage of laser optics
can greatly extend shelf-life,” explained Mr. Yehiel Plaut,
Sales and Marketing Manager for Ophir Optronics' CO2 Optics Group.
“With EZ-Pack, lenses arrive ready-to-use. Its modular,
stackable design enables easy re-packing and re-storing.”
