Metrology

We adhere to measuring specifications listed in ISO 10110 and MIL-specs when conducting tests and measurements on our products. We have a wide range of equipment that allows us to measure any form of optical product; be it spherical or a-spherical. Our general specifications are: Form accuracies up to λ/10 Surface roughness better than 2 [...]

Blockmatic

For turning contact lenses, the button must be fixed in the precision lathe.

The BLOCKMATIC is the ultimate solution for the high precision blocking of buttons and counter-blocking of finished base curves. The time required by the Blockmatic for blocking and counter-blocking is extremely short.

Diamond Fly Cutting

With our LT Ultra we are able to produce great plano optics with very high precision (peak values of up to 300 ångström).

We make a large variety of products with our diamond fly cutter; examples include air bearings and high precision tooling.

SP Diamond Turning

Single point diamond turning (SPDT) is a well known method for fabricating micro optics.

The big difference between a standard lathe and a single point diamond turning machine is that the SPDT machine uses a diamond tipped bit for its machining and it is able to machine surface finishes of a few nanometers and features that are down to about 1 micron in size.

Optical Coatings

In most quality optical systems, lenses are coated to diminish reflections.

On polymer optics these coatings do not survive mechanical stress tests. Using a new coating technology, optical polymers can now be coated in the same style as glass optics and still withstand optical stress tests.
