About JSA Photonics, Inc.
JSA Photonics, Inc. was established in 1991 as a contract and consulting engineering firm for design, manufacturing and systems integration of industrial automation components and systems. One of the first prototype developments was the DigiRule, a digital measuring device. In 1995, the Company began the development of a 3-D non-contact dimensioning device and entered into a licensing agreement with the Industrial Technology Institute,
In 1995, The Company secured a contract for the development and fabrication of test equipment used in the manufacture of precision laser optical alignment systems including precision mechanical fixtures, optical detection and alignment equipment and vacuum leak and backfill systems. In 1995, the Company entered into an agreement for the development and testing of the TechTimer Roadside Passenger Advisory System. A prototype of this device has been successfully developed and tested and is currently in full production. JSA has collaborated with Sandia National Laboratory and other organizations in the development of other high tech products including the development and manufacture of a GPS based commercial distancing system for golf courses.
