Exact Lens Positioning Is Key to High-Performance Optics Production
Jun 12, 2015 — Ultraprecision machines can provide positioning and lathe centering of mounted lenses in high-performance optics production. Integrated software works with high-precision metrology to offer more economical production for small- and medium-sized companies in the field. Many modern applications such as camera lenses, telescopes and microscopes use complex systems consisting of multiple lenses. The optical performance of such systems depends on the correct positioning of lenses.
