Highlights

  • 5-Axis machine center for generating plano surfaces, spherical surfaces (lenses), aspheres, optical freeform surfaces and centering functions
  • Highly dynamic AC servo drives for X-, Y- and Z-Axis. Positioning via high resolution linear scales.
  • A-Axis driven by high precision racks and pinions via AC servo drives
  • Interfaces to Taylor Hobson Form Talysurf, Mahr MarSurf, Mitutoyo Measuring System, OptoTech Workshop Interferometers of the OWI HP Series (Others available upon request)
  • Full online-connection of the whole working system (MCG Series with MCP Series and Metrology). Even freeform surfaces can be fine corrected by correction dataset.
  • Microsoft Windows operating system with OptoTech user interface
