Expanding Capabilities to Meet Your Needs
For over 30 years, Janos Technology has been a leader in precision infrared optical solutions using a broad range of materials to meet system wave band requirements from 1-40 microns. In addition to optical solutions which have focused on individual MWIR and LWIR applications, today Janos offers new products designed to support 3 to 12 microns, simultaneously. In build-to-print applications Janos supports a wide array of infrared diffractive and refractive designs.

Janos Job Book
For long term production programs, whether design or build-to-print, ask about our Janos Job Book (JJB) process for guaranteed quality and reproducibility throughout the entire program. In addition to our MIL-STD quality processes, each program incorporating the JJB includes the following standard elements.

Although the exact content of each Job Book will vary from job to job, there are some basic elements that help define the process.

• Process Flowchart – This illustrates all of the various processes surrounding a program, from administration to shipping.
• Manufacturing Flowchart – This flowchart details all of the manufacturing steps required to create a part. Specific work and inspection procedures are called out.
• Work Instructions – Controlled copies of the work instructions called out in the flowcharts are included in the Job Book. This includes Manufacturing, Coating (if applicable), and Quality.
• APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) – Identifies every characteristic of a given part, the tolerances for that characteristic, how it is to be verified, and actions that are to be taken should a failure be encountered.
• Lot Traveler – A copy of the bar-coded lot traveler that follows parts throughout their manufacture is included in the Job Book.
• Inspection Sheet(s) – A copy of any inspection sheets used in the manufacturing process is included for reference as well.

Janos’ history of success and high performance provides each customer the confidence required for important prototype or large production programs. Backing up our proven performance record is the Engineering design strength, the advanced production facilities, and the Quality JJB processes which combine to make Janos’ offering unique in the industry.
