Alignment Turning Station ATS 200 - High-Precision Alignment Turning of Mounted Lenses

25 Aug 2014

TRIOPTICS presents the ATS 200 as the first self-developed Alignment Turning Station, which has the widest range of applications in the class for mounted lenses up to 200 mm diameter: mounted spherical, aspherical and infrared lenses can be manufactured with an accuracy of 1 μm.

The ATS 200 was developed with the aim of simplifying the alignment turning of mounted lenses for the user. TRIOPTICS has extensive experience and patented technology for measuring the centration of lenses and objectives. Moreover, TRIOPTICS has been using high-precision air bearing spindles and linear stages for many years. The development of a proprietary alignment turning machine is therefore a logical step for the advancement of its technology.

Key Features of ATS 200

• Widest range of applications in the class for mounted lenses up to 200 mm diameter: spherical, aspherical and infrared lenses, measurement of center thicknesses and flange surfaces
• Integrable measurement technology: mechanical and optical distance sensors, OptiSurf^® low coherence interferometer, second autocollimator
• Intuitive Usage: One software solution for all measurement and machining processes
• OptiCentric^® measurement technology with MultiLens measures the centration of both lens surfaces with one autocollimator, second autocollimator as an option
• Optimized granite setup increases rigidity and thermal stability in the working area
• Intuitive alignment process with plano-calotte alignment chuck and live monitoring with the help of the software
• Advantages of the vertical setup: Prevents the spindle causing a tilting moment during machining, reduced footprint, convenient loading and unloading
• Wear-free, aerostatic axes guarantee highest accuracy
