Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Waters Corporation (“Waters ® ” or the “Company”) is an analytical instrument manufacturer that primarily designs, manufactures, sells a nd services high performance liquid chromatography (“HPLC”), ultra performance liquid chromatography (“UPLC ® ” and together with HPLC, referred to as “LC”) and mass spectrometry (“MS”) technology systems and support products, including chromatography columns, other consumable products and comprehensive post-warranty service plans. These systems are complementary products that are frequently employed together (“LC-MS”) and sold as integrated instrument systems using a common software platform . LC is a standard technique and is utilized in a broad range of industries to detect, identify, monitor and measure the chemical, physical and biological composition of materials, and to purify a full range of compounds. MS instruments are used in drug discovery and development, including clinical trial testing, the analysis of proteins in disease process es (known as “proteomics”), nutritional safety analysis and environmental testing. LC -MS instruments combine a liquid phase sample introduction and separation system with mass spectrometric compound identification and quantif ication. In addition, t he Company designs, manufactures, sells and services thermal analysis, rheometry and calorimetry instruments through its TA ® product line. These instruments are used in predicting the suitability and stability of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, water, polymers , metals and viscous liquids for various industrial, consumer goods and healthcare products, as well as for pharmaceutical research. The Company is also a developer and supplier of software-based products that interface with the Company ' s instruments , as well as other supplier s ' instruments, and are typically purchased by customers as part of the instrument system. The Company ' s interim fiscal quarter typically ends on the thirteenth Saturday of each quarter. Since the Company ' s fiscal year end is December 31, the first and fourth fiscal quarters may have more or less than thirteen complete weeks. The Company ' s first fiscal quarters for 2016 and 2015 ended on April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 , respectively. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. All material inter-company balances and tra nsactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. It is management ' s opinion that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statem ents included in the Company ' s A nnual R eport on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 , as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016. Translation of Foreign Currencies For most of the Company ' s foreign operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The functional currency of each of the Company ' s foreign operating subsidiaries is the loca l currency of that particular country, except for the Company ' s subsidiaries organiz ed in Hong Kong , Singapore and the Cayman Islands, where the underlying transactional cash flows are denominated in currencies other tha n the respective local currency of domicile. The functional currency of the Hong Kong , Singapore and Cayman Islands subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, based on the respective entity ' s cash flows. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments, with original maturities of 90 days or less, while investments with longer maturities are classified as investments. The Company maintains cash balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits, and in foreign subsidiary accounts in currencies other than U.S. dollars. As of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , $2,478 million out of $2,505 million and $2,346 million out of $2,399 million, respectively, of the Company's total cash, cash equivalents and investments were held by foreign subsidiaries and may be subject to material tax effects on distribution to U.S. legal entities . In addition, $241 million out of $2,505 million and $248 million out of $2,399 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments were held in currencies other than U.S. dollars at April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively . Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, certain of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable data , such as quoted prices in active markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table represents the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 2, 2016 (in thousands) : Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets Other Significant for Identical Observable Unobservable Total at Assets Inputs Inputs April 2, 2016 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: U.S. Treasury securities $ 608,537 $ - $ 608,537 $ - Foreign government securities 27,011 - 27,011 - Corporate debt securities 1,433,296 - 1,433,296 - Time deposits 106,408 - 106,408 - Equity securities 147 - 147 - Other cash equivalents 27,000 - 27,000 - Waters 401(k) Restoration Plan assets 30,014 - 30,014 - Foreign currency exchange contracts 814 - 814 - Total $ 2,233,227 $ - $ 2,233,227 $ - Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 4,412 $ - $ - $ 4,412 Foreign currency exchange contracts 628 - 628 - Total $ 5,040 $ - $ 628 $ 4,412 The following table represents the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recu rring basis at December 31, 2015 (in thousands): Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets Other Significant Total at for Identical Observable Unobservable December 31, Assets Inputs Inputs 2015 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets: U.S. Treasury securities $ 627,156 $ - $ 627,156 $ - Foreign government securities 15,199 - 15,199 - Corporate debt securities 1,324,318 - 1,324,318 - Time deposits 74,947 - 74,947 - Equity securities 147 - 147 - Other cash equivalents 27,000 - 27,000 - Waters 401(k) Restoration Plan assets 35,823 - 35,823 - Foreign currency exchange contracts 616 - 616 - Total $ 2,105,206 $ - $ 2,105,206 $ - Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 4,215 $ - $ - $ 4,215 Foreign currency exchange contracts 402 - 402 - Total $ 4,617 $ - $ 402 $ 4,215 The fair values of the Company's cash equivalents, investments , 401(k) restoration plan assets and foreign currency exchange contracts are determined through market and observable sources and have been classified as Level 2 . These assets and liabilities have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued , typically utilizing third-party pricing services. The pricing services use many inputs to determine value, including reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validates the prices provided by third-party pricing services by reviewing their pricing methods and obtaining market values from other pricing sources. After completing these validation procedures, the Company did not adjust or override any fair value measurements provided by third-party pricing services as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Fair Value of Contingent Consideration The fair value of the Company' s liability for contingent consideration related to the July 2014 acquisition of Medimass Research, Development and Service Kft . is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model, which uses significant unobservable inputs, and has been classified as Level 3. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are recorded in the results of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including the estimated future results and a discount rate that reflects both the likelihood of achieving the estimated future results and the Company ' s creditworthiness . A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Although ther e is no contractual limit, the fair value of future contin gent consideration payments was estimated to be $4 million at both April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , based on the Company ' s best estimate, as the earnout is based on future sales of certain products through 2034. There have been no changes in significant assumptions since December 31, 2015 and the change in fair value since then is primarily due to change in time value of money . Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable interest rate debt are recorded at cost , which approximates fair value. The carrying value of the Company's fixed interest rate debt was $400 million and $450 million at April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively . The fair value of the Company's fixed interest rate debt was estimated using discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company. The fair value of the Company ' s fixed interest rate debt was estimated to be $410 million and $454 million at April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively , using Level 2 inputs. Derivative Transactions The Company is a global company that operates i n over 35 countries and, as a result, the Company's net sales, cost of sales, operating expenses and balance sheet amounts are significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency price risk on foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations when it translates its non-U.S. dollar foreign subsidiaries' financial statements into U.S. dollars, and when any of the Company's subsidiaries purchase or sell products or services in a currency other than its own currency. The Company's principal strategy in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to naturally hedge the foreign-currency-denominated liabilities on the Company's balance sheet against corresponding assets of the same currency, such that any changes in liabilities due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are offset by corresponding changes in assets. The Company does not specifically enter into any derivatives that hedge foreign - currency - denominated assets, liabilities or commitments on its balance sheet, other than a portion of certain third-party accounts receivable and accounts payable, and the Company's net worldwide intercompany receivables and payables, which are eliminated in consolidation. The Company periodically aggregates its net worldwide balances by currency and then enters into foreign currency exchange contracts that mature within 90 days to hedge a portion of the remaining balance to minimize some of the Company's currency price risk exposure. The foreign currency exchange contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Principal hedged currenc ies include the Euro, Japanese y en, Britis h pound and Brazilian real . At April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company held foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $121 million and $116 million, respectively. T he Company's foreign currency exchange contracts included in the consolid ated balance sheets are classified as follows (in thousands): April 2, 2016 December 31, 2015 Other current assets $ 814 $ 616 Other current liabilities $ 628 $ 402 The following is a summary of the activity in the statements of operations related to the foreign exchange contracts (in thousands): Three Months Ended April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Realized losses on closed contracts $ (1,895) $ (3,348) Unrealized (losses) gains on open contracts (28) 342 Cumulative net pre-tax losses $ (1,923) $ (3,006) Stockholders' Equity In Ma y 20 1 4 , the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $ 75 0 million of its out standing common stock over a three -year period . The Company repurchased 0.7 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock during both the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 at a cost of $ 89 million and $ 85 million , respectively, under the May 2014 authorization and other previously announced programs . The Company has a total of $352 million authorized for future repurchases under the May 2014 plan . In addition, the Company repurchased $6 million of common stock related to the vesting of restricted stock units during both the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 . The Company believes that it has the financial flexibility to fund these share repurchases given current cash levels and debt borrowing capacity , as well as to invest in research, technology and business acquisitions to further grow the Company's sales and profits. Product Warranty Costs The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale, which are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component supplie r s, the Company's warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is based on historical inform ation, such as past experience, product failure rates, number of units repaired and estimated costs of material and labor. The liability is reviewed for re asonableness at least quarterly. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company's accrued warranty liability for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 (in thousands): Balance at Balance at Beginning Accruals for Settlements End of of Period Warranties Made Period Accrued warranty liability: April 2, 2016 $ 13,349 $ 1,681 $ (2,198) $ 12,832 April 4, 2015 $ 13,266 $ 1,762 $ (2,157) $ 12,871 |

Debt [Abstract] | |
Debt Disclosure | 5 Debt In June 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $1.1 billion revolving facility and a $300 million term loan facility. In April 2015, Waters entered into an amendment to this agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an increase of the revolving commitments from $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion and extends the maturity of the original credit agreement from June 25, 2018 until April 23, 2020. The Company plans to use future proceeds from the revolving facility for general corporate purposes. The interest rates applicable to the Amended Credit Agreement are, at the Company's option, equal to either the alternate base rate calculated daily (which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1/2% per annum, or (c) the adjusted LIBO rate on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) for a deposit in U.S. dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1% per annum) or the applicable 1, 2, 3 or 6 month adjusted LIBO rate, in each case, plus an interest rate margin based upon the Company's leverage ratio, which can range between 0 to 12.5 basis points for alternate base rate loans and between 80 basis points and 117.5 basis points for adjusted LIBO rate loans. The facility fee on the Amended Credit Agreement ranges between 7.5 basis points and 20 basis points. The Amended Credit Agreement requires that the Company comply with an interest coverage ratio test of not less than 3.50:1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and a leverage ratio test of not more than 3.50:1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement includes negative covenants, affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default that are customary for investment grade credit facilities. At April 2, 2016, $125 million of the outstanding portion of the revolving facility was classified as short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet due to the fact that the Company expects to repay this portion of the borrowing under the revolving line of credit within the next twelve months. The remaining $845 million of the outstanding portion of the revolving facility was classified as long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, as this portion is not expected to be repaid within the next twelve months. As of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had a total of $450 million and $500 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes , respectively . Interest on the fixed rate senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually each year. Interest on the floating rate senior unsecured notes is payable quarterly. The Company may prepay all or some of the senior unsecured notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, plus the applicable make-whole amount or prepayment premium for Series H senior unsecured notes . In the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the note purchase agreement), the Company may be required to prepay the senior unsecured notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. These senior unsecured notes require that the Company comply with an interest coverage ratio test of not less than 3.50:1 for any period of four consecuti ve fiscal quarters and a leverage ratio test of not more than 3.50:1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter . In addition, these senior unsecured notes include customary negative covenants , affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default. T he Company had the following outstanding debt a t April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands) : April 2, 2016 December 31, 2015 Foreign subsidiary lines of credit $ 499 $ 322 Senior unsecured notes - Series C - 2.50%, due March 2016 - 50,000 Credit agreements 125,000 125,000 Unamortized debt issuance costs - (13) Total notes payable and debt 125,499 175,309 Senior unsecured notes - Series B - 5.00%, due February 2020 100,000 100,000 Senior unsecured notes - Series D - 3.22%, due March 2018 100,000 100,000 Senior unsecured notes - Series E - 3.97%, due March 2021 50,000 50,000 Senior unsecured notes - Series F - 3.40%, due June 2021 100,000 100,000 Senior unsecured notes - Series G - 3.92%, due June 2024 50,000 50,000 Senior unsecured notes - Series H - floating rate*, due June 2024 50,000 50,000 Credit agreements 1,145,000 1,045,000 Unamortized debt issuance costs (1,699) (1,973) Total long-term debt 1,593,301 1,493,027 Total debt $ 1,718,800 $ 1,668,336 * Series H senior unsecured notes bear interest at 3 month LIBOR for that floating rate interest period plus 1.25%. As of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had a total amount available to borrow under existing credit agreements of $ 328 million and $ 428 million, respectively, after outstanding letters of credit . T he weighted-average interest rates applicable to the senior unsecured notes and c redit a greement borrowings collectively were 2.16% and 2.11% at April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The Company and its foreign subsidiaries also had available short-term lines of credit totaling $100 million and $ 97 million at April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, for the purpose of short-term borrowing and issuance of commercial guarantees. T he weighted-average interest rates applicable to these short-term borrowings were 1.48% and 1.24% a t April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 6 Income Taxes The four principal jurisdictions in which the Company manufactures are the U.S., Ireland, the United Kingdom and Singapore, where the marginal effective tax rates were approximately 37.5%, 12.5%, 20% and 0%, respectively, as of April 2, 2016 . The Company has a contractual tax rate in Singapore of 0% through March 2021, based upon the achievement of certain contractual milestones, which the Company expects to continue to meet. The current statutory tax rate in Singapore is 17%. For the first quarter of 2016, the effect of applying the contractual tax rate in Singapore, as compared with applying the statutory tax rate, increased net income by $4 million and increased net income per diluted share by $0.05. The Company's effective tax rate was 11.8% and 15.3% for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 , respectively . The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2016 as compared to 2015 can be attributed to a quarter-specific tax benefit associated with modifications to certain stock compensation awards. In addition, the income tax provision fo r 2015 included a quarter-specific tax provision related to a pending tax audit settlement . The remaining differences between the effective tax rate in 2016 and 2015 were primarily attributable to differences in the proportionate amounts of pre-tax income recognized in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates . The Company accounts for its uncertain tax return reporting positions in accordan ce with the accounting standards for income taxes, which require financial statement reporting of the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax reporting positions on the presumption that all concerned tax authoriti es possess full knowledge of those tax reporting positions, as well as all of the pertinent facts and circumstances, but prohibit any discounting of u nrecognized tax benefits associated with those reporting positions for the time value of money. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 (in thousands): April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Balance at the beginning of the period $ 14,450 $ 19,596 Net changes in uncertain tax benefits (790) 933 Balance at the end of the period $ 13,660 $ 20,529 With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax audit examinations in significant jurisdictions for the years ended on or before December 31, 20 1 2 . However, carryforward tax attributes that were generated in years beginning on or before January 1, 201 3 may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities if the attributes are utilized. The Company continuously monitors the lapsing of statutes of limitations on potential tax assessments for related changes in the measurement of unrecognized tax benefits, related net interest and penalties, and deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company expects to record additional reductions in the measurement of its unrecognized tax benefits and related net interest and penalties of approximately $ 6 million within the next twelve months due to potential tax audit settlements and the lapsing of statutes of limitations on potential tax assessments. The Company does not expect to record any other material reductions in the measurement of its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. |

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | 7 Stock-Based Compensation The Company maintains various shareholder-approved, stock-based compensation plans which allow for the issuance of incentive or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or other types of awards (e.g. restricted stock units). The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs in accordance with the accounting standard s for stock-based compensation, which require that all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the statements of operations based on their grant date fair values. The Company recognizes the expense using the straight-line attribution method. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards that ultimately are expected to vest; therefore, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The stock-based compensation accounting standard s require forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and the Company's results of operations could be materially impacted. In addition, if the Company employs different assum ptions in the application of the s e standard s , the compensation expense that the Company records in the future periods may differ significantly from what the Company has recorded in the current period. The consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 include the following stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards, restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards and the employee stock purch ase plan (in thousands): Three Months Ended April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Cost of sales $ 671 $ 674 Selling and administrative expenses 13,969 6,634 Research and development expenses 1,201 1,147 Total stock-based compensation $ 15,841 $ 8,455 During the three months ended April 2, 2016 , the Company recognized $7 million of stock compensation expense related to the modification of certain stock awards upon the retirement of senior executive s . Stock Options In determining the fair value of the stock options, the Company makes a variety of assumptions and estimates, including volatility measures, expected yields and expected stock option lives. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model. The Company uses implied volatility on its publicly - traded options as the basis for its estimate of expected volatility. The Company believes that implied volatility is the most appropriate indicator of expected volatility because it is generally reflective of historical volatility and expectations of how future volatility will differ from historical volatility. The expected life assumption for grants is based on historical experience for the population of non-qualified stock option exercises . The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the input to the Black- Scholes model. The relevant data used to determine the value of the stock options granted during the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 are as follows: Options Issued and Significant Assumptions Used to Estimate Option Fair Values April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Options issued in thousands 86 32 Risk-free interest rate 1.5% 1.6% Expected life in years 5 4 Expected volatility 0.286 0.267 Expected dividends - - Weighted-Average Exercise Price and Fair Value of Options on the Date of Grant April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Exercise price $ 122.65 $ 113.88 Fair value $ 34.63 $ 26.94 T he following table summarizes stock option activity for the plans for the three months ended April 2, 2016 (in thousands, except per share data): Number of Shares Price per Share Weighted-Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2015 3,154 $ 38.09 to $ 134.37 $ 96.73 Granted 86 $ 117.68 to $ 130.35 $ 122.65 Exercised (84) $ 44.25 to $ 113.36 $ 81.97 Canceled (54) $ 79.15 to $ 128.93 $ 110.99 Outstanding at April 2, 2016 3,102 $ 38.09 to $ 134.37 $ 97.60 Restricted Stock During the three months ended April 2, 2016 , the Company granted eight thousand shares of restricted stock. The fair value of these awards on the grant date was $ 130.35 per share . Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes the unvested restricted stock unit award activity for the three months ended April 2, 2016 (in thousands, except for per share amounts): Shares Weighted-Average Price Unvested at December 31, 2015 497 $ 104.16 Granted 135 $ 117.68 Vested (134) $ 97.51 Forfeited (1) $ 101.87 Unvested at April 2, 2016 497 $ 109.63 Restricted stock units are generally granted annually in February and vest in equal annual insta llments over a five-year period. |

Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments | 12 Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of this guidance is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. This guidance was originally effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has amended the standard in August 2015 to delay the effective period date by one year to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 . Adoption prior to December 15, 2016 is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating its adoption method and the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In July 2015, accounting guidance was issued which clarifies the measurement of inventory. The new guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In January 2016, accounting guidance was issued which primarily affects the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments, principally equity investments and certain financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, there will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Changes to the fair value of equity investments will be recognized through earnings. Equity investments carried at cost should be adjusted for changes in observable prices, as applicable, and qualitatively assessed for impairment annually. Changes to the fair value of financial liabilities under the fair value option due to instrument specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The new guidance also requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately and grouped by measurement category in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption of certain provisions of this guidance is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2016, accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for leases. This new comprehensive lease standard amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases. The core principle of the new guidance will require lessees to present the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on their balance sheets. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, accounting guidance was issued which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Fiscal Period | The Company ' s interim fiscal quarter typically ends on the thirteenth Saturday of each quarter. Since the Company ' s fiscal year end is December 31, the first and fourth fiscal quarters may have more or less than thirteen complete weeks. The Company ' s first fiscal quarters for 2016 and 2015 ended on April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 , respectively. |
Basis of Accounting | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. It is management ' s opinion that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statem ents included in the Company ' s A nnual R eport on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 , as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Principles of Consolidation | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. All material inter-company balances and tra nsactions have been eliminated. |
Translation of Foreign Currencies | Translation of Foreign Currencies For most of the Company ' s foreign operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The functional currency of each of the Company ' s foreign operating subsidiaries is the loca l currency of that particular country, except for the Company ' s subsidiaries organiz ed in Hong Kong , Singapore and the Cayman Islands, where the underlying transactional cash flows are denominated in currencies other tha n the respective local currency of domicile. The functional currency of the Hong Kong , Singapore and Cayman Islands subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, based on the respective entity ' s cash flows. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Policy | Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments, with original maturities of 90 days or less, while investments with longer maturities are classified as investments. |
Fair Value Measurements Policy | Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, certain of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable data , such as quoted prices in active markets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable interest rate debt are recorded at cost , which approximates fair value. |
Derivatives Policy | The foreign currency exchange contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. |
Product Warranty Costs | Product Warranty Costs The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale, which are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component supplie r s, the Company's warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is based on historical inform ation, such as past experience, product failure rates, number of units repaired and estimated costs of material and labor. The liability is reviewed for re asonableness at least quarterly. |

The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards that ultimately are expected to vest; therefore, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The stock-based compensation accounting standard s require forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and the Company's results of operations could be materially impacted. In addition, if the Company employs different assum ptions in the application of the s e standard s , the compensation expense that the Company records in the future periods may differ significantly from what the Company has recorded in the current period. Stock Options In determining the fair value of the stock options, the Company makes a variety of assumptions and estimates, including volatility measures, expected yields and expected stock option lives. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model. The Company uses implied volatility on its publicly - traded options as the basis for its estimate of expected volatility. The Company believes that implied volatility is the most appropriate indicator of expected volatility because it is generally reflective of historical volatility and expectations of how future volatility will differ from historical volatility. The expected life assumption for grants is based on historical experience for the population of non-qualified stock option exercises . The risk-free interest rate is the yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximating the expected term used as the input to the Black- Scholes model. |

Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | 12 Recent Accounting Standard Changes and Developments Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of this guidance is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. This guidance was originally effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; however, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has amended the standard in August 2015 to delay the effective period date by one year to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 . Adoption prior to December 15, 2016 is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating its adoption method and the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In July 2015, accounting guidance was issued which clarifies the measurement of inventory. The new guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In January 2016, accounting guidance was issued which primarily affects the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments, principally equity investments and certain financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, there will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Changes to the fair value of equity investments will be recognized through earnings. Equity investments carried at cost should be adjusted for changes in observable prices, as applicable, and qualitatively assessed for impairment annually. Changes to the fair value of financial liabilities under the fair value option due to instrument specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The new guidance also requires financial assets and financial liabilities to be presented separately and grouped by measurement category in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption of certain provisions of this guidance is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2016, accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for leases. This new comprehensive lease standard amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases. The core principle of the new guidance will require lessees to present the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on their balance sheets. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, accounting guidance was issued which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
