Regular maintenance and systems upgrades are the time proven way to extend the useful life of equipment and to benefit from engineering advances. Many industries protect their capital investment with regular upgrades. Airlines are a prime example. Replacement of time expired parts, new more fuel efficient engines, upgraded electronics keep airliners in service for a long time.

For many years ESDI has offered upgrade services for interferometers, giving aging instruments a major face lift with modern computers, cameras, lasers, phase shifters and our industry leading IntelliWave™ software. These upgrades saved our clients thousands of dollars over the years while benefiting from these major performance improvements. Some of the many interferometers supported are ZYGO®, Veeco®, Wyko®, ADE PhaseShift®, and 4D Technologies®.

"Just a quick note to tell you that the upgrades that we did to our Zygo interferometer by using your products have been warmly welcomed by my company. At this time they are using the ESDI upgraded interferometer more than the Zygo GPI unit that is significantly more expensive."

Don’t get Boxed In

ESDI is the pioneer in interferometer upgrade services. Others have been attempting to mimic this service, but none offer the full flexibility of our options and years of experience. For example, IntelliWave™ was built from the ground up to be interferometer independent. We have nearly 100 software drivers for nearly all the major camera and analog/digital I/O manufactures, and our plug-in architecture allows virtually any customized instrument interface. This means you can continuously and easily keep your instrument modernized over the years to come.

What You Get
