Abstract

There is an ever-increasing demand for small optical systems, applications such as cell phone camera lenses, Infrared night vision sensors, and medical devices continue to grow. For these applications, a new compact ultra-precision diamond turning machine offering the highest precision for making both lenses and mold inserts has been developed. A small footprint ideally suited for limited lab space combined with the ability to add a Fast Tool system, optical metrology and automated loading and unloading makes for a versatile yet highly capable machine for precise freeform manufacturing. Unique hardware and software designs yield the highest accuracy on the market.
