SXL 500
The SXL 500 developed by OptiPro Systems is a 5-Axis CNC controlled bridge style optical grinding platform. The unique axes configuration provides an accurate and versatile platform for grinding brittle materials such as glass, ceramics and hardened steels up to 500 mm in diameter. This machine is ideal for generating 1/2 to 1 meter class optics, large spheres and aspheres as well as parabolic mirrors. The SXL 500 is equipped with a user friendly interface to generate spherical and aspherical optical surfaces with reduced setup times. Freeform surfaces can also be easily generated via the SXL full 5-Axis grinding process by exporting CAM generated models from programs such as Mastercam. The 5-Axis platform provides a robust deterministic process that is essential for the fabrication of quality optical surfaces such as windows, domes and mirrors. The 500 size platform entails 3 linear (X,Y,Z) and 2 rotary (B,C) axes. The large platform bridge style machines can have X and Y travels up to 3m by 3m and custom rotary axes configurations for specific process requirements.
