Spherical Optics –

A department which turns round

Welcome at spherical optics Mr. Fuchs is pleased to present you state-of-the-art CNC and robot controlled manufacture of spherical precision optics.
An extensive know-how and comprehension of the final application are the prerequisites of a successful production of high-demanding spherical components. Latest CNC-polishing techniques and a highly advanced staff assure the constantly reliable quality of our products.
Spherical Optics – State-of-the-art-technology
Optical machining with robot Manufacturing with Kellenberger Polished aspherical surfaces and highly demanding contour shapes on optical components are achieved by the use of a CNC-controlled machine and a six-axes robot.
Our cooperation with different technical high-schools allows us to increase our technological potential. Also our staff-members benefit from these educational possibilities.
Spherical Optics – Synchrospeed and CNC polishing techniques
CNC machined optics In the 80’s, SwissOptic introduced the synchrospeed polishing technique and developed it further. In the 90’s, the first CNC-polishing machines were established.
The required machining and especially the set-up time were reduced considerably. Several operating cycles can now be executed by one CNC-machine in the same chucking device.
Spherical Optics – Pitch Polishing
Grinding and polishing with polishing machines Grinding and polishing with polishing machines - this is the classical domain of the master-optician.
These conventional polishing machines only offer a few adjustable parameters of control; therefore a highly developed know-how and some “golden fingertips” are necessary to achieve an outstanding quality level.
Spherical Optics – Centering of components
Work Center of Spherical Optics Spherical Optics: Lens Two centering techniques are available:
Conventional centering and “bell-chuck”-centering.
In conventional centering the lens will be centered when being glued on a mandrel, in bell-chuck centering, the floating lens is being aligned between two mandrels. The choice of the centering method is determined by the geometry and the level of precision required on a lens.
Spherical Optics – Precision Cementing
Precision cementing of optics In precision cementing, two or more lenses are being glued together to so-called doublets or triplets in an optically centered condition.
The cementing procedure sounds quite simple; the lenses have to be cleaned, the cement is put on the surface, the lenses are being pressed to each other to eliminate air bubbles; - centered; - cured; - ready. This requires a lot of know-how and experienced staff-members.
Spherical Optics – Quality Control
Measuring interferometer Quality control A full documentation of our interferometric measurements is possible through computer-controlled equipment. For the cosmetic control, the trained eyes of our staff-members are still irreplaceable.
The final testing is constantly being reduced by the introduction of intermediate testing in the production cycle. Quality accepts no compromise.
