It has been reported that significant manufacturing improvements are being gained by UK manufacturers of high precision optics. By utilising specialised metrology to characterise the surface form of steep-sided aspheric lenses, production facilities are now able to improve their process control to reduce waste by more than 20%, with bulk manufacturers of injection moulded optics reportedly seeing worldwide annualised savings in excess of $1million.

The precision measurement of these steep-sided components is a huge manufacturing challenge that directly affects costs and productivity. Through CEMMNT's dedicated metrology, manufacturers across the UK are now enjoying enhanced operating profits resulting from significant improvements in both yield and lens performance. With an ever expanding range of techniques and expertise in the optics industry, CEMMNT enables clients to access specifically developed metrology instruments capable of the precision form and finish measurement of lenses and molds, without any restriction in slope angle.

This patented technology enables customers to accurately measure lenses, even with vertical slopes, to a λ/10 precision. Utilising this range of equipment and expertise, manufacturers of custom ground lenses and high-volume production moulded optics alike are reaping the benefits of improved yields, greater throughput rates and significantly reduced operational costs.
