Diamond Optical Tools

Precision Diamond Tools for Optical Manufacturing Braemar Diamond Optical Tools deliver precise grinding, shaping, and polishing of optical components made from hard and brittle materials. They machine glass, fused silica, quartz, sapphire, ceramics, ZnSe, CaF₂, and other advanced substrates. The tools provide high accuracy and clean surfaces in demanding optical environments. Braemar uses premium synthetic diamond and controlled resin or metal bonds to ensure steady, repeatable performance. They support lens fabrication, prism grinding, beveling, edge shaping, and ultra-fine finishing. Manufacturers of lenses, laser components, scientific glass, and aerospace optics rely on Braemar for fast cutting, long tool life, and consistent precision. Full Range of Optical Tooling Braemar offers a full line of diamond optical grinding tools, core drills, segments, beveling tools, and custom solutions for CNC grinders, manual stations, and ultrasonic systems. These tools reduce chipping, improve finishes, and maintain stable performance throughout their life. They help optical shops, research labs, and precision machining facilities achieve clean edges and tight tolerances. Machines That Use Diamond Optical Tools Diamond Optical Tools operate on specialized grinding, polishing, cutting, and drilling machines built for fragile, high-purity materials. These machines need strong rigidity, high accuracy, and excellent vibration control to produce true optical finishes. CNC Optical Grinding Machines OptiPro, Satisloh, Precitech, and Schneider systems shape lenses and prisms using 1A1, 6A2, 12V9, 1V1 wheels, chamfer wheels, and form tools. CNC Optical Polishing Machines OptiPro ePX and Satisloh SPS platforms deliver ultra-fine finishes with fine-grit diamond tools, polishing rings, and finishing laps. Optical Edging & Beveling Machines Coburn, A&R, WECO, and Nidek edging machines use diamond edging wheels, bevel wheels, chamfer wheels, and cup wheels. Ultrasonic Drilling Machines Sonic-Mill, OMNI, and ACCU-DRILL systems drill accurate holes in glass, sapphire, and quartz using thin-wall diamond core drills and micro-drills. CNC Glass Machining Centers Hegla, Bystronic, Intermac, and CMS machines cut pockets, slots, and complex shapes using diamond routers, milling tools, and grinding wheels. Manual Optical Grinding & Polishing Stations Hand-lapping and flat-lap systems use diamond laps, mounted points, and polishing discs for lab-scale optical work. Ultra-Precision Lathes Precitech and Moore Nanotech lathes turn IR optics, aspheres, and precision glass components with diamond turning tools. Semiconductor & Metrology Equipment Wafer processing machines use diamond wheels, bevel tools, slicing blades, and micro-drills for quartz, fused silica, and sapphire components.
