Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Infrared lenses and lens assemblies producer Ophir Optics Inc. of Wilmington, Mass., has inaugurated an 18,000-sq-ft facility that houses computer numerical controlled grinding, polishing and centering equipment as well as conventional polishing, diamond turning and optical coating tools. Environmentally controlled for temperature, humidity and air filtration, the plant accommodates testing capabilities such as profilometers, optical interferometers and computer-generated hologram interferometry. The company's lens designs incorporate aspheres and aspheric-diffractive components, which help to minimize the number of optical elements.

diamond turning
Diamond turning, also known as diamond machining or diamond cutting, is a precision machining process used to produce high-quality optical surfaces and components with extremely tight tolerances. It involves the use of a single-point diamond cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece, typically made of metals, plastics, or optical materials like glass or crystals. In diamond turning, the cutting tool, which has a diamond tip, is controlled with high precision and moved relative to the...
grinding
The process in the manufacture of an optical system that gives it the required geometric shape.
polishing
The optical process, following grinding, that puts a highly finished, smooth and apparently amorphous surface on a lens or a mirror.
