The comparison of current optical manufacturing methods and prior to year 2000

Abstract :

 

Prior to Year 2000

 

Optical components such as  Window, filters,  wedge , mirror , Prisms , cylinder .. They require many kind of machineries , tools , ingredients and lengthy process.

 

Example 1 : For a 3 sides  precision  right angle prism ,Material = NB-K 7

 

Seq 1 Material Blank 

 

Seq 2 Blocking +Milling+ Rough Grind+ Fine Grind +Slurry Polish+ Finishing Polish + Inspection

 

Seq 3 Repeat Seq 2

 

Seq 4 Repeat  Seq 2

 

Total process time ...... 100 hrs  for qty of 20     Cycle time =  6 weeks                  

Required : High skill work force

 

Final Spec = Surface Figure 2 Lambdas, Surface Quality 20-10 Mil, Angle tolerance +/- 5 minutes.

 

Example 2 : 7.75 mm , 8 mm diameter Laser Mirror

 

* The used of Cluster Molded Blanks,.

 

* E-beam coating

 

After Year 2000

 

With more understanding the effects of the diamond tools, the application of  using the  CNC machine to optics

 

has simplified the optical fabrication process and also has eliminated the used of special machines and tools.

 

Example 1

 

Seq 1 Material Blank

 

Seq 2 CNC Shaping 

 

Seq 3 Rough Polishing

 

Seq 4 Precision Polishing

 

Total process time ..... 40 hrs  for qty of 20     Cycle time = 3 weeks                  

Required : Skill Work force

 

Final Spec = Surface Figure Lambda/20, Surface Quality 10-5 Mil, Angle tolerance 5 arc seconds

 

Example 2  :

 

* Molded finished Optics

 

* Free form shaping

 

* Free form polishing 

 

* Iron Bean Sputtering Coating
