Aspheric Optics manufacturing

An introduction to aspherical optics

In this article we will explain the importance and applications of aspherical optical elements, as well as the role of aspherical optical elements in the optical field.

Manufacturing Technology of Aspheric Optical Elements

Traditional processing methods VS modern processing technology

The traditional processing technology is to grind and polish the products, which will have certain limitations and applicability of product accessories, and the thickness of the products may also vary, which is very difficult for us. However, modern processing technology has improved these problems, using modern machinery, CNC machine tools, electron beam processing, laser equipment processing, etc. The application of these machinery has certain controls and constraints on the production of our products, and the products can be Better used in many fields. Even high-precision, complex-shaped aspherical optical elements can be designed well.

Manufacturing process of aspherical optical components

In manufacturing aspheric optical components, our first step is: design and simulation

Introduces the design and simulation process of aspheric surface manufacturing, including the use of CAD/CAM software and optical simulation tools.

Step Two: Material Selection

Discuss the selection criteria for materials required for aspherical components and the impact of different materials on the manufacturing process.

Step 3: Processing steps

Describe the specific processing steps of aspheric surface manufacturing, from preparation before processing to control and monitoring during processing.

Step 4: Surface treatment

Emphasis is placed on the impact and improvement of the optical performance of the surface treatment process after aspheric surface manufacturing, such as polishing, coating, etc.
Of course, after production, we will also inspect the products and test whether they are qualified. Throughout the entire production line, our factory also has dedicated persons in charge to conduct inspections to ensure the accuracy of each step.

Applications and Prospects of Aspheric Optical Elements

Aspheric surface manufacturing can be used in laser technology, medical equipment, aerospace, etc.

Summarize

Summarizing the key technologies and applications of aspheric surface manufacturing and looking forward to future development directions and challenges, our factory will also strengthen the production requirements for our products based on customer requirements and order specifications.
