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
