Optical Generating Tools Unmounted
Our precision grinding wheels for optical surface generation. They are engineered for accuracy, stability, and long tool life. Each tool is manufactured with a rigid metal bond and premium abrasive grains. This construction delivers consistent stock removal and excellent shape retention.
These tools are ideal for generating spherical, aspheric, and freeform optical surfaces. They perform reliably on glass, ceramics, and crystalline materials. The rigid bond minimizes deflection during aggressive cutting. As a result, surface geometry remains stable throughout the process.
Metal bond generating tools support repeatable results in high-volume production. They also perform well in prototype environments. Custom diameters, profiles, and grit sizes are available. Tools can be matched to specific machines and applications.
Uniform abrasive exposure improves cutting efficiency. It also reduces subsurface damage. This helps shorten downstream polishing time. Fewer dress cycles are required due to high wear resistance. Tool life is extended, which lowers overall process cost.
These optical generating tools are commonly used on CNC optical grinding machines. They provide a reliable transition from rough generation to fine finishing. The result is improved throughput, tighter tolerances, and consistent optical quality.
Exterior Angle Optical Generating Tools
Exterior Angle Optical Generating Tools are precision diamond-abrasive tools designed for generating external angles, chamfers, and edge geometries on optical components. These tools are used during the generating stage to accurately form angled surfaces prior to fine grinding and polishing, ensuring consistent geometry and repeatable results.
Interior Angle Optical Generating Tools
Interior Angle Optical Generating Tools are precision diamond-abrasive tools designed for generating internal angles, grooves, and recessed geometries on optical components. These tools are used during the generating stage to accurately form internal features before fine grinding and polishing, ensuring precise geometry and repeatable results.
Convex Radius Optical Generating Tools
Convex Radius Optical Generating Tools are precision diamond-abrasive tools designed for generating convex spherical and curved surfaces on optical components. Used during the generating or rough-grinding stage, these tools accurately shape lenses and optical parts prior to fine grinding and polishing, ensuring consistent geometry and reliable downstream processing.
Concave Radius Optical Generating Tools
Concave Radius Optical Generating Tools are precision diamond-abrasive tools engineered for generating concave spherical and curved surfaces on optical components. These tools are used in the generating or rough-grinding stage to accurately form lens curvatures before fine grinding and polishing, ensuring correct geometry and repeatable results.
