PRO 80P CNC Spherical Lens Polisher: Optics up to 80 mm

  • Overview

    PRO 80P Overview

    The PRO 80P is a high speed spherical lens polisher for workpieces up to 80 mm in diameter. The PRO 80P is designed with a vibration isolated “rock-solid” granite core to ensure ultimate precision, thermal stability, and consistent part-to-part accuracy. The unique modular concept packs a lot of capability into a compact footprint. With OptiPro’s powerful CNC graphical user interface, fast setups and cycle times are achieved with the PRO 80P yielding high production of spherical lenses.

    Multiple advanced features on the PRO 80P help companies decrease cycle times while increasing quality and throughput of spherical and plano precision optics:

    • Better polishing: Stiff granite machine base to provide vibration dampening
    • Faster set ups: Easy-to-learn, intuitive P Series software with four custom chainable process cycles
    • User-friendly interface: Built in help menus with on board graphic guidance
    • Versatility: In addition to spherical optics, capable of dome polishing
    • Extensive material processing: Polish a wide variety of optical materials to angstrom-level quality by utilizing different combinations of slurries and polyurethane pads
    • Exceptional ergonomics: Aide in streamlined operation
    • 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
