Request InfoTRIOPTICS GmbHOptiCentric® Cementing increases the productivity of your optics production. Two production steps are done at the same time: The lenses are aligned and cemented while the next pair of lenses is prepared. Furthermore, OptiCentric® Cementing can be optimized for different clamping methods used during the ensuing edge centering process: Lenses are directly aligned and cemented onto an arbor, which is then clamped into the turning machine. Lenses are aligned and cemented and then fixed with the bell-clamping method for the edge centering.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Jan/Feb 2023 IssueZinc Selenide OpticsHigh-quality zinc selenide (ZnSe) lenses, output couplers, and mirrors from Laser Research Optics are optimized at 1.06 μm for medical laser OEMs. The devices are manufactured to...Promoted Content September 2023 IssueMotorized Lenses for AMR OperationTheia Technologies’ motorized lenses come in 4-10-mm, 9-36-mm, and 12-50-mm focal ranges.
