7 Facts About A Collimator

The collimator is a device that gets its name from the Latin word “collimare,” a verb that basically means to make parallel or to bring into line. At Warren Knight, we produce several different types of collimators, but before we talk about our own products, we thought it might be interesting to share some facts about these devices and collimation in general. Collimators Collimate [...]

What’s Your Angle? A Digital Protractor Can Figure It Out

Did you hear the one about the trigonometry teacher that got fired because he was always going off on a tangent? Or what about the obtuse angle that was sad because he was never right? Ok, we could tell trig jokes for hours, but let’s get to the point. We’re here today to discuss the handy digital protractor. Who needs a digital protractor, you may [...]

Modern Warfare

Mission: Increase the accuracy of naval weapons Technology has so transformed modern naval warfare that when a ship fires on an enemy vessel, the target can quickly locate the source and return fire with deadly accuracy. You may not get a second chance at a first strike. The navy of a major U.S. ally in the Eastern hemisphere was struggling with the accuracy of its bore [...]

Anti-Warping

When NASA asked…“How can we align an object on earth so that it functions reliably?” WARREN-KNIGHT had the answer. Mission: Surfaces on the International Space Station have to withstand both searing sunlight and frigid shadows. To design against warping, NASA needed to know how much distortion to expect. Problem: One of the challenges designing equipment to operate in space is the extremes between 250°F on the [...]
