The Precitech Nanoform 700 ultra single point diamond turning machine is designed for the production of optical lenses, optical mold inserts, mirrors & mechanical components.

4 axis ultra precision lathe with milling capability, which can make speherical, aspheric and freefrom surfaces up to 700mm diameter weighing 170kg. Surface finishes of less than 1nm Sa and a form accuracy 0.125µm PV. Typical component materials are polymer and non-carbon metal. However with the ultrasonic attachment it is able to machine carbon steels. Other additional support equipment such as the fast and slow tool servo allow it to machine lens arrays and high aspect ratios.

Single point Diamond Turning Optics. The Moore Nanotech 250 UPL lathe has precision four-axes control (Y-Axis, Z-Axis, rotary B-Axis, C-Axis positioning) with a stiff air-bearing spindle. It can fabricate non-cylindrically symmetric optical components with size ranging from tens of micrometres to the maximum work piece capacity of 300 mm diameter x 200 mm long (150 mm diameter swing capability over the optional rotary B-Axis). Normally it is used for the rapid production of spherical & aspheric optical lenses, mirrors, mould inserts, freeform optics, and even mechanical components. Depending on the material and the complexity of the form, surface smoothness of up to λ/50 may be attainable

Lathe UPL250 : 4 axis control with stiff air bearing control can fabricate non cylindrically symmetrical optical components from tens of micrometer to 300mm dia and upto 200mm long.
