PFG Precision Optics (Ocean Springs, MS) has built on its lens centering equipment offering with new technology and software capabilities. While less than 30 arcsec deviation is widely considered “high precision” in the industry, the company’s new capabilities will achieve extreme precision in centering of less than 10 arcsec deviation for several lens geometries.
Whether it be truncations, step-cuts, tapering, or square lenses, PFG’s technology works with some of the most extreme lens profiles. It can also accommodate contour beveling of almost any shaped edges.
PFG’s capabilities also include in-process laser alignment for higher precision and process control, new cutting tools with finer diamonds on bevels to reduce chipping, and twin cutting tools for lower cycle times.
