Product catalog summary
Introduction
The II-VI Diamond Turning facility, established in 1988, is a leader in producing diamond-turned components for commercial, military, and aerospace sectors. The facility is renowned for its advanced capabilities in diamond turning.

Diamond Turning Capabilities
The facility offers a range of services including flycutting of plano and cylindrical optics, two-axis turning with up to 700mm diameter capacity, and advanced tool servo technologies for non-rotationally symmetric geometries. It also supports 4-axis turning and has dedicated cleaning facilities.

Vertical Integration
II-VI provides a vertically integrated optics manufacturing environment, including optical materials growth, optics fabrication, thin-film coating, assembly, and design services.

Single-Axis Flycutting
Utilizing CNC-controlled diamond flycutting machines, II-VI produces high-volume plano geometries with exceptional surface finishes and figure accuracies. Products include laser mirrors, deformable mirrors, and components for space applications.

Two-Axis Turning
With CNC-controlled lathes, II-VI can produce on-axis parts up to 700mm in diameter. The Nanoform 700 lathe achieves surface finishes of less than 20 Angstroms RMS. Products include parabolic optics, spherical mirrors, and lens arrays.

Freeform Turning
Fast Tool Servo (FTS) and Slow Tool Servo (STS) technologies enable the production of non-rotationally symmetric geometries. Products include toroidal lenses, off-axis conics, and free-form wavefront correctors.

Four-Axis Turning
II-VI's 4-axis diamond turning incorporates B-axis freedom, supporting parts up to 700mm in diameter. This technology allows for tool-normal manufacturing for steep radii and supports various geometries.

Micro-Milling/Micro-Grinding
By integrating high-speed tool spindles into 4-axis machines, II-VI enhances freeform design capabilities, creating precision structures for diverse applications.

Metrology Equipment
The facility is equipped with advanced metrology tools, including interferometers and profilometers, ensuring precision in manufacturing.

Thin-Film Coating
II-VI's coating facility offers custom designs and high-efficiency coatings, ensuring quality and durability. The facility includes precision cleaning equipment and computer-controlled coating machines.

Materials and Geometries
II-VI works with a variety of materials including metals and transmissive optics, offering a wide range of geometries such as spherical, aspheric, and diffractive shapes.

Contact Information
II-VI has worldwide sales offices in locations including China, Singapore, Japan, UK, Switzerland, Belgium, USA, Germany, and Italy.

FREEFORM TURNING Non-rotationally symmetric geometries are now possible through the utilization of fast and slow tool servo technologies. FAST TOOL SERVO (FTS) Up to 70µm of departure from rotational symmetry can be realized using a piezoelectric fast-tool device. Fast tool servo processes are capable of producing RMS surface roughness less than 50 angstroms and figure accuracy less than 0.2µm peak-to-valley. SLOW TOOL SERVO (STS) For non-rotational symmetry greater than 70µm, slow tool servo technology is applicable. Components with departure of 3mm have been successfully diamond turned at II-VI....
