Highlights

  • 4-Axis CNC generating operations (X, Y, Z, C) and 4-Axis interpolation
  • Rigid, low torsion cast iron machine construction
  • 1 vertical workpiece spindle, movable in Z-direction
  • 2 horizontal tool spindles, movable in X- and Y-direction
  • Workpiece spindle combined with C-Axis in highest precision
  • Synchronized Linear Drives in X-Y-Z-Axes
  • Better surfaces and repeatability due to grinding of aspheres with peripheral wheels
  • Up to 4 grinding wheels in 2 tool spindles possible
  • Rough grinding, medium grinding, fine grinding and finest grinding
  • High speed single surface processing of any lens shape (depending on tool diameter)
  • Short set-up times due to Microsoft Windows operating system with OptoTech user interface
  • Quick and precise tool change due to Hydro-Expansion Chuck technology (Option)
  • Siemens Sinumerik 840 D Solution Line CNC Controller
  • Interfaces: USB and Ethernet ready and to modern profile measuring systems (e.g. Taylor Hobson Talysurf PGI Series)

System advantage

  • Processing is done with wheel tools using the circumferential grinding method. This greatly improves the machine kinematics and gives highly reproducible results
  • Aspheres can be generated using a spiral tool path with only 2 CNC axes. As a result, the grinding results are much more accurate than those achievable with other methods
  • Short set-up times and quick as well as precise tool change

Options

  • Hydro Expansion Chucking Technology
  • Remote Diagnosis
