Introducing the SLG 80: Common meets extraordinary The Spheroline SLG 80 has been designed for optics manufacturing in the popular range of 80 mm with extraordinary cost-efficiency and processing versatility. The highly robust and compact machine features the most modern CNC controls and process technology. The dedicated kinematics and spindle configurations establish the basis for high-quality grinding processes with maximum flexibility. The machine’s capabilities can be further extended by an aspherical grinding option for processing a great variety of aspheres. The mixture of intelligent and compact design, cutting-edge technology, and highly versatile processing options make the SLG 80 a great choice for start-ups and established productions alike. The result is high-quality processing of custom and serial optics up to 80 mm and beyond. Smart and compact design The basis of the SLG 80 is a cast-iron machine frame for high stiffness and stability. The kinematics with the upper swivel axis result in a very small machine footprint while still offering a large swivel angle for processing strongly curved lenses. The modern CNC control system in conjunction with the quality-defining AC-servo drive technique enable high precision lens processing. Double-spindle technology The basic version S1/1 offers a wide range of grinding capabilities including edge processing and chamfering. The S2/1 version enables rough grinding including centering and beveling on one spindle followed by fine grinding on the second spindle. This offers higher process flexibility, stability, and further increases productivity.
