Precision centering

Introducing the Spheroline® SLC 50 Precise Centering plays an essential role in maximizing the performance of precision-optical elements. The Spheroline SLC 50 centering machine brings simplicity and flexibility into this final surfacing step – especially for small and medium batch sizes.

Proven design The SLC 50 builds on a solid design: The high-precision centering spindles together with the very accurate guiding system and the sophisticated clamping technology rest on a cast-iron housing. A sophisticated CNC-controlled clamping technique guarantees a sensitive, fully automatic clamping of the lens with minimal setup-times by using differential measuring technique. An automatic loading system allows non-stop operation even for small batches. The modern SINUMERIK 840 Digital controller system in conjunction with the quality-defining AC servo drives enable high precision and excellent...
