OptiCentric^® Cementing Workstation

OptiCentric^® Cementing Workstation

The OptiCenteric^® Cementing Workstation is a perfect supplement for optical edging machines. As a preliminary step of the edging process the workstation aligns and cements lenses on an arbor. Equipped with an electronic autocollimator and a precise air bearing the station enables precise lens alignment and significantly increases the cementing accuracy.

Additionally, the whole alignment and cementing process becomes easier to handle and allows for fast and reproducible cementing results. This OptiCentric^® System comprises all equipment necessary for the cementing process and is designed as an ergonomic and comfortable turnkey station.

Like all OptiCentric^® Systems this Workstation also measures the centration errors of single lenses and achromats.

For operation the arbor prepared with cement is clamped in the hydrostatic holder, then the lens is positioned on the top of the arbor and manually aligned while the air bearing rotates. The OptiCentric^® Software supports this process with its strong SmartAlign^® feature.

For further comfort the OptiCentric^® Cementing Workstation can be fully automated with a 2-axis x-y piezoelectric fine positioning stage and lens specific grabber.
