Precision Optics Spheroline® SLG 301 Perfect grinding of larger optics

Introducing the Spheroline® SLG 301 Larger diameters optics made to very high specs – the processing center Spheroline® SLG 301 meets this fundamental requirement like no other machine of its class. Large optics up to a diameter of 480 mm are manufactured on this machine for use in lithography equipment and other demanding applications. Key to the success of the SLG 301 is the kinematic concept of the machine consisting of the two parallel spindles for the tools and a workpiece spindle which can be positioned, swiveled and shifted to enable a wide variety of processing steps. In one process cycle...

Solid foundation The machine has a cast iron base for the kinematics with up to 5 axes and 3 spindles. The modern SINUMERIK 840 Digital controller system drives the AC servo drives, enabling high precision and excellent dynamics of the lens processing. The 3D processing feature of the SLG 301 enables optimal use of the grinding ring tools no matter how the uncut and finished radii vary. This results in a prolonged tool life time and reduced running costs. Advanced spindle technology A special advantage of the SLG 301 is the double-spindle system in combination with the automated tool changer....
