Design & Manufacturer
Differing from traditional spherical cemented lenses, as shown in the diagram, the optical components of the device consist of a spherical surface S1, aspheric surfaces S2&3, and a spherical surface S4. The edge of the aspheric surfaces S2&3 is specially designed, making the processing requirements extremely stringent. Considering that S2 and S3 are two aspherical surfaces with high demands for surface profiles and accuracy, and requiring a seamless fit in between, we have adopted an integrated molding and integrated cemented process to ensure product quality.
The optical elements, S1, S2&3, and S4, are crucial components of the device. The unique design of the asphericS2&3 edge imposes rigorous demands on the manufacturing process in terms of shape and surface quality. To ensure optimal optical performance, a series of precision manufacturing processes have been employed.
In the optical design, S2&S3 are complex aspherical surfaces, imposing high requirements on their shape and surface accuracy. Furthermore, ensuring a perfect fit without any minute gaps between them adds to the challenge. To address this complexity, we have introduced an integrated molding and bonding manufacturing process.
The application of this integrated molding and bonding process not only enhances the manufacturing precision of the product but also ensures a perfect fit between all optical surfaces. By rigorously controlling each step of the manufacturing process, we guarantee the stability of the optical element’s performance and quality. This not only contributes to achieving highly precise optical design but also demonstrates our commitment to product quality and excellence in professional manufacturing capabilities.
