Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the AMCC Icing Plates, which are used in the manufacturing of intraocular lenses (IOLs). These plates utilize a unique clamping system that leverages the adhesive properties of 'Frost' for stress-free mechanical clamping, particularly beneficial for hydrophobic materials.

Specifications: The Icing Plates are designed to work with various materials such as PMMA, acrylics, and silicone. They operate using a thermal exchanger with double flux, requiring only compressed air to function. The plates are user-friendly, allowing for easy freezing and thawing processes.

Procedures: The manufacturing process involves spraying water on blanks, positioning them on the freezing mandrel, and allowing the water to freeze for machining. Deblocking is achieved by reversing the air flow. The plates are adaptable for different manufacturing steps, with interchangeable mandrels for various stages.

Applications: Originally developed for the aerospace industry, these plates are now used in the IOL industry for producing fine parts. They allow for the use of thinner blanks, saving material and enabling easy repositioning.

Milling and Lathing: The document details the use of GF-140 and GFF-20-IOL plates for milling and lathing. The GF-140 plate offers a working area of 140x100 mm and allows for multi-positioning lens milling. The GFF-20-IOL plate is used for lathing, maintaining clamping during transfer from lathing to milling.

Advantages: The system provides high productivity gains and improved manufacturing quality for IOLs. It allows for precise positioning with repeatability within 10 microns and maintains centering efficiency from lathing to milling.

Contact Information: For further information, AMCC can be contacted at their office in Capens, France, or through their representative, P. Meunier.

Catalog excerpts

Frost is an extremely strong adhesive used in many micro-mechanicals applications for minuscule parts that are difficult to handle as watch hands for example. Thanks to this natural property, AMCC Icing Plates uses it as a clamping system that has many advantages: - Rigid bonding is achieved with several materials as PMMA, acrylics, silicone, etc... - Stress-free mechanical clamping. - Deep cooling enhances cutting surface conditions, more especially for hydropho bic materials. - No solid residues after deblocking parts. AMCC GF plates are cooled down by a thermal exchanger > 1 with double flux...
