PRO 160P CNC Spherical Lens Polisher: Optics up to 160 mm

  • Overview

    PRO 160P Overview

    The PRO 160P CNC spherical lens polisher is capable of high speed polishing of spheres up to 160 mm in diameter. The PRO 160P features a vibration isolated granite base for ultimate precision, thermal stability, and consistent part-to-part accuracy. This compact, modular platform has double the part size capability as the PRO 80P while having only a slightly larger footprint. Driven by user-friendly software for high speed polishing (P Series), fast setups and cycle times are achieved with the PRO 160P allowing companies to produce precision spherical lenses in high volumes.

    Multiple advanced features on the PRO 160P help companies increase quality and throughput of spherical optics:

    • Precision polishing: Stiff granite machine base to reduce vibrations
    • Faster set ups:  Easy-to-learn P Series software with the ability to chain multiple process cycles together
    • User-friendly interface: Simple input handles and graphics guide the user through all aspects of lens polishing
    • Versatility: High speed polishing of convex and concave lenses, as well as spherical domes
    • Extensive material processing: Polish different optical materials to angstrom-level quality by utilizing a variety of polishing pad and slurry combinations
    • Ergonomically designed: Helps machine operators maximize productivity
    • Energy efficient: Servos turn off automatically
    • Easy cleanup for fast slurry changeover: All stainless steel containment makes it easy to clean, saving time and money when switching from one job to another
    • Convenience and confidence: Polishing tool correction and truing can be programmed and performed in radius, sag and fringes directly on the polisher, saving time during job setup and ensuring desired polishing results
    • Tooling flexibility: Available with optional UltraSmooth Finishing (USF) capability for polishing aspheres

    Achieve high volume production of precision spherical optics with the dependable and efficient PRO 160P high speed polisher.
