Optics Production

Our Optics Fabrication include:

Milling machines for initial in-process machining of the optical elements to set the shape and size.
Slicing machines for generation of grooves.
Diamond Curve Generating / Lapping machines for spherical curve generating and final machining
Pitch and Pad Polishing machines to refine the surface of the optics and setting the surface quality of the finished optics, capable of producing 1/20 wave optical elements.
Centering & Edging machines to center and grind down the edge of an optics to meet the specific diameter and centration, to an accuracy of less than 10 seconds.
Ultrasonic Cleaning machine provides faster and more thorough cleaning prior to coating and bonding, as well as finished products.
Beveling / chamfering are usually applied by hand with respective beveling tools and diamond wheels.
Contacting is employed for optics requiring very high parallelism tolerances. For this process, optics are pressed firmly onto a special glass block so that a vacuum is created between the optic and the block's surface, thereby holding the optic in place for processing.
