Precision Optics Fabrication Equipment and Ceramics Machining Platforms

With over 20 machines ranging from CNC grinding, polishing, centering, and ultrasonic machining, OptiPro’s comprehensive portfolio of fabrication equipment is engineered for the demanding worlds of precision optics and advanced ceramics manufacturing.

CNC optical grinding machines provide up to 5-axis flexibility for complex geometries such as spheres, aspheres, and freeforms, enabling rapid material removal across optical glasses, ceramics, crystals, and infrared substrates like silicon and germanium.
OptiSonic ultrasonic machining centers leverage IntelliSonic software and ultrasonic oscillation to reduce cutting forces, extend tool life, and accelerate cycle times for milling, core drilling, pocketing, and lightweighting operations.
CNC spherical polishing machines and Glassmaster planetary polishers achieve 1/10 and 1/20 wave finishes on flat, spherical, and large-diameter components
UltraForm Finishing (UFF) platforms feature 5-axis sub-aperture polishing with high-removal rates on optics ranging from 10 mm to over 500 mm in diameter.
Optical centering machines perform centering and other processes (truncations, facets, steps, bevels, tapers, and freeform edge shaping) with exceptional precision, production, and repeatability.

For companies serving industries such as defense, aerospace, medical, semiconductor, and photonics, OptiPro’s precision optics fabrication equipment and ceramics machining platforms can help you achieve tighter tolerances, faster delivery, and superior surface quality.

The OptiSonic 530 has been invaluable, particularly for production work.

Four years ago, we purchased an OptiPro OptiSonic 530 CNC machine. This machine has been invaluable in our operations, particularly for production work. Previously, many of our grinding operations were done on Moore jig grinders and ultrasonic impact grinders. While certain operations are still done this way, about two-thirds of our operations are now done with the OptiSonic 530.

As Machines Improve, Meller Optics Keeps Coming Back

Ted Turnquist of Meller Optics, a provider of high precision optics for industry and defense, discusses the company's long history working with OptiPro and why OptiPro continues to exceed his expectations. From Meller's first machine purchase back in the early 1990's to their recent collaboration with OptiPro on a Navy project, Ted emphasizes OptiPro's responsiveness and technological advancements as some of the reasons why his company keeps coming back.

Teaming up with OptiPro has been one of the best decisions we've made.

The combination of the PRO 80 UFF and the two larger UFF platforms we’ve invested in gives our company the capability to fabricate thousands of aspheres a year at an affordable price.

Running flawlessly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since the install

The Glassmaster 520 was the first brand new pitch polishing machine purchased by Sydor Optics over 10 years ago. That machine has been running flawlessly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since the install. We purchased 2 more units 3 years ago and hope to purchase more new machines this year. Glassmaster machines are reliable and produce 1/10 wave and 1/20 wave optics consistently.
