Infrared optics and germanium materials supplier Novotech Inc. of Acton, Mass., has completed an equipment modernization plan that includes the purchase of automated robotic optics edging and curve-generating machines that can produce several thousand units per day. In addition, Novotech said, a computer numerical control polishing machine from OptiPro Systems of Ontario, N.Y., can handle large-size windows and lenses up to 200 mm in diameter. Several saws manufactured by the former Silicon Technologies Corp. were upgraded with numerical controllers, and two additional inner diameter saws were delivered. Also, a Precitech diamond turning machine was upgraded with the HS75 high-speed spindle.

diamond turning
Diamond turning, also known as diamond machining or diamond cutting, is a precision machining process used to produce high-quality optical surfaces and components with extremely tight tolerances. It involves the use of a single-point diamond cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece, typically made of metals, plastics, or optical materials like glass or crystals. In diamond turning, the cutting tool, which has a diamond tip, is controlled with high precision and moved relative to the...
