Form Talysurf PGI 1240 - TAYLOR HOBSON - #1

The Form Talysurf PGI 1240 from Taylor Hobson is a premium specification measurement system for the small to medium sized aspheric optics market. It is designed for applications where optimum component quality and consistency cannot be compromized.

At Taylor Hobson we are proud of our reputation as the solution provider of choice within aspherics metrology. The Form Talysurf has evolved over the past 20 years, delivering continuous improvement for our customers. The PGI 1240 Aspherics Measurement System represents a new level of performance for applications such as:

The Form Talysurf PGI 1240 has been developed specifically for the optics industry. Every aspect of manufacture is to the highest possible level which results in unparalleled system performance.

Taylor Hobson's recently launched Aspherics Analysis Software incorporates a number of new features expressly designed to meet the needs of Aspherics Optics Manufacturers, including:

• User Selectable Radius Optimisation and Xs Filter

Ultra-high precision processes such as Single-Point Diamond Turning allow aspheric lenses to be manufactured with form tolerances down to small fractions of X. To achieve such levels of precision, metrology must be fully integrated with machining.

Form Talysurf PGI 1240 delivers this capability by directly exporting measurement results back to the machine tool, creating a corrective 'feedback loop'. New custom styli expand the range of applications which can be measured using the PGI 1240.
