Precision Optics

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.
     • Diamond Turning (SPDT) machining including grinding and fine polishing processes
     • 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.
