PRO 160P+ High Speed Spherical Lens Polisher with In-Process Tool Truing

  • Overview

    PRO 160P+ Overview

    The PRO 160P+ high speed spherical polisher is an enhanced version of the PRO 160P. In addition to having a vibration isolated granite core and unique modular concept, the PRO 160P+ features dual lower spindles (work spindle and truing spindle). This allows for users to program in-process truing of the polishing tool in P Series software. With in-process tool truing, there is no need to change tools during polishing – resulting in optimized production for spherical optics up to 160mm.

    Top quality machine components and high performance P Series software on the PRO 160P+ help companies achieve faster cycle times of high precision spherical optics:

    • Dual lower spindles: Truing spindle (lower left) and work spindle (lower right) allow for tool truing operation to be performed automatically after polishing cycle
    • Precision polishing: Stiff granite machine base for consistent part-to-part accuracy
    • Faster set ups: Easy-to-learn, intuitive P Series software with four custom chainable process cycles
    • User-friendly interface: Built in help menus with on board graphic guidance
    • Versatility: In addition to spherical optics, capable of dome polishing
    • Extensive material processing: Polish a wide variety of optical materials to angstrom-level quality by utilizing different combinations of slurries and polyurethane pads
    • Ergonomically designed: Helps machine operators maximize productivity
    • Energy efficient: Servos turn off automatically
    • Easy cleanup for fast slurry changeover: All stainless steel containment makes it easy to clean, saving time and money when switching from one job to another
    • Tooling flexibility: Available with optional UltraSmooth Finishing (USF) capability for polishing aspheres

    Maximize production of precision spherical optics while adding efficiency to your polishing capabilities with the convenience of in-process tool truing on the PRO 160P+.
