Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Surfacing Center SCG 100 is a versatile and cost-effective grinding machine designed for both spherical and aspherical lenses. It offers customizable spindle configurations to meet specific grinding requirements.

Specifications
The SCG 100 features a modular platform with up to 5 axes and 5 spindles, supported by a stiff cast-iron base. It includes an industrial PC controller system for high precision and dynamic lens processing. The machine supports a maximum working range diameter of 140 mm for spheres and 200 mm for aspheres with automation.

Advanced Spindle Technology
The SCG 100 offers multiple spindle configurations:
  • S2/1 Version: Two tool spindles for rough and fine grinding in one cycle.
  • S3/1 Version: Adds a third air-bearing spindle for high-quality grinding.
  • S2/2 Version: Fully automated two-side grinding for medium and large batches.
Optional direct-driven spindles are available for smoother processing.

Automation and Control
The machine can be equipped with optional automation for fast handling and reduced auxiliary times. It supports carousel or pallet operation and features a graphical user interface for ease of use. The SCGA 100 variant extends capabilities to aspherical lenses with additional horizontal tool spindles.

Data Communication
The SCG 100 interfaces with Ethernet and SCHNEIDER Optical Technology software for effective data exchange. It includes remote diagnostics and a graphical user interface for streamlined communication.

Benefits
  • Optimized kinematics for spherical and aspherical grinding.
  • Integrated process control for stability and accuracy.
  • Automated parts handling and computer-assisted setup.
  • Optional high-performance spindles for minimal subsurface damage.
  • Modern network connectivity and remote diagnostics.

In-Process Metrology
The machine includes a comprehensive metrology package for process control, compensating for tool wear and process drift. Key features include:
  • CT Control: Ensures precise center thickness.
  • Tool Control: Recognizes grinding tools to reduce setup time.
  • Feed Control: Optimizes tool approach and grinding process.
  • Curve Control: Measures and corrects spherical geometry.
  • Balance Control: Optimizes tool run for reduced subsurface damage.

Technical Data
The SCG 100 operates with a power consumption of 20 kW, requires a minimum compressed air supply of 6 bar, and weighs 1,700 kg. It has dimensions of 1,750 x 1,940 x 1,481 mm without the control panel.

In-process metrology The consistent high performance and tight process control is accomplished with our integrated metrology package. The process control compensates for tool wear and process drift. The — CT Control automatically checks the center thickness of the lens and makes adjustments. The — Tool Control recognizes the grin­ ding tools and reduces significantly the set-up and correction times. The — Feed Control and its first-touch technology reduce the air cutting time during the tool approach to a minimum – saving valuable process time. The Feed Control also optimizes the process during...
