An Introduction to the Optics Manufacturing Process
An Introduction to the Optics Manufacturing ProcessKatie SchwertzOptoMechanics (OPTI 521) ReportOctober 31, 2008 AbstractAlthough technological advances are continually being made in machinery for Optics Manufacturing , the actual Manufacturing Process has, in many ways, remained unchanged. This paper serves as a basic overview of how a lens is manufactured from a blank. A lens is typically ordered from a glass company in a form called a glass blank. From there, the lens goes through generation where the rough shape is ground into the blank. A lens is then blocked and undergoes further grinding to improve the surface and shape. Polishing is the final fine grinding stage where the surface and shape of the optic is finished to specification.
Oct 31, 2008 · The process described above is the most general, and typical, manufacturing process that a small optic goes through. There are a variety of other manufacturing methods that are used for large optics, aspheres, plastics, and …
