High-precision alignment and machining of mounted lenses
The demand for high-precision optical manufacturing technologies is increasing. This includes the need to align passive optical elements such as single lenses and lens systems as well as active optical elements such as laser diodes. For passive and active optical components, alignment turning meets the increasing industrial requirements for precision, freedom of design, automation, and competitive production times.
The TRIOPTICS ATS alignment turning machine combines the proven OptiCentric® centration measurement system with an ultra-precise turning machine. This makes it possible to adjust and control all relevant parameters while processing the mount, such as diameter of the mount or the distance of the lens from the contact surfaces of the mount.
