A four-station turret machine combines lens cutting, drilling, milling, and engraving to cut transfer downtime and improve flexibility.
An auxiliary tool and attitude control unit accurately position a convex optical surface, improving lens patterning precision and consistency.
Interlaced ultrashort-pulse raster scanning machines glass with less thermal buildup, then CO2 polishing improves optical surface finish.
Selective water-soluble coating protects optical devices during laser dicing, reducing contamination and enabling clean water removal afterward.
Elastic edge holders and a surrounding frame damp bath-surface waves during lens dip coating, improving coating uniformity and optical quality.
Circular cylinder or cone intersections turn hard-to-machine freeform Fresnel trailing edges into circular tool paths for precise material removal.
Controlled laser fluence ablates a metal layer and redeposits nanoparticles to form GRIN freeform optics with better laser damage resilience.
Ultrashort laser pulses create a flat, edgeless steel mold surface that improves pigment flow and prevents scratches during contact lens color transfer.
Controlled laser ablation and redeposition of metal nanoparticles forms GRIN optical surfaces for freeform optics with better surface quality and laser damage resistance.
A model-free DRL controller regulates fiber diameter in real time, handling non-linear and stochastic manufacturing dynamics better than PID or MPC.
Elastic edge holders and lateral frame portions damp bath-surface waves during lens withdrawal, improving coating homogeneity and inspection handling.
A pre-extruded, annealed thermoplastic sheet is laser welded into an optical cable jacket to limit shrinkage and fiber bending loss.
Single-mode continuous-wave laser welding joins retroreflective tooling with narrow seams, limiting optical degradation and visible distortion.
Laser marking parameters are set from etching geometry and thermal stress data so ophthalmic lens engravings stay visible after coloring and varnishing.
Microstructured metal undercuts let softened optical plastic lock in place, creating a tight, low-stress vehicle lighting joint without extra parts.
An auxiliary tool and attitude control unit position convex optical surfaces precisely, improving lens patterning accuracy during processing.
Nanosecond UV pulses mark ophthalmic lenses across multiple materials while limiting thermal damage, deformation, and equipment complexity.
