Lens polishing machine SLP 120

for precision opticsCNCsurface

Introducing the Spheroline® SLP 120 Excellent performance to investment ratio, uncompromised form accuracy and perfect reproducibility – this was the target for our new spherical polisher. Our solution: High-quality polisher SLP 120. With the integration of a correction spindle mounted in parallel to the workpiece spindle, precise and convenient tool correction is guaranteed. Equipped with the hydrostatic polishing option even higher surface accuracies can be achieved. The setup can be done easily and in virtually no time using the Auto Teaching feature. Additionally, the machine’s high efficiency is supported by a compact design, with good access to the work space and easy operation. Design basics The basis for the high form accuracy, surface quality and process stability is set by the machine’s kinematics resting on a machine bed specifically designed for high stiffness and stability. The kinematics encompass three axes as well as the workpiece, polishing and correction spindles. The modern CNC control system runs the AC servo drives, ensuring consistently high accuracy during the polishing and correction steps. The CNC controller checks and adjusts all parameters such as process times, working pressures, oscillation speed of the polishing process etc. Multi-step processing can be performed and parameters can be individually adjusted. The SLP 120 has been designed for utmost ease of use. Special material treatments on the inner shielding greatly reduce polish adhesion – maintaining an extremely accurate concentration level which produces the highest quality and form accuracy lens after lens.
