    Acrylic Light Guides and Lenses

    Acrylic is half the weight of glass, has excellent optical clarity and light transmission properties. Acrylic is ideally suited to the manufacture of acrylic light guides and lenses.

    Carville produce CNC machined acrylic light guides and lens components for use in the automotive, aerospace, medical and industrial sectors.

    Light guides can be simple components such as a round acrylic light pipe or may be more complex components which have been fabricated, formed and wrapped to guide a light source to a particular receiving area within a larger assembly.

    Carville also have extensive experience with fibre optic light guide detectors. Carville have manufactured and supplied large fibre optic detector assemblies for use on synchrotron target stations. These detectors contain thousands of individual fibre optic light guides which are cast in to B4C and individually coded.
