Spanoptic Ltd invest in high precision measurement technology
In order to meet the demands of modern-day applications, lens manufacturers utilise the best production equipment available. Precision measurement plays a crucial role in this requirement. In addition to being essential for quality assurance, lens manufacturers incorporating measurement as part of their process control benefit from drastically reduced operational costs and shorter production cycle times.
Spanoptic Ltd, a leading UK manufacturer of high-quality precision optics, has built a successful business based heavily around this strategy, and in spite of the current financial climate, is still expanding. Recognising the unique benefits of measurement technologies, in particular Taylor Hobson's range of PGI aspheric measurement instruments, Spanoptic has optimised its manufacturing process flow to ensure lenses are machines to an exact standard prior to finishing.
Reducing manufacturing times and material waste to an absolute minimum enables users of high precision measurement instruments and technology to produce more products with greater quality and first-time yield, improving competitiveness and maximising profits.
John Bryden, Managing Director of Spanoptic, comments: "We have been extremely pleased with the versatility, reliability and overall performance of Taylor Hobson's instruments. The ability to accurately measure any asphere or asphero-diffractive design has enabled us to respond quickly to our customers' needs, helping us win business."
Spanoptic Ltd supports a wide range of industries, such as IR Defense, Surveillance, Photography, Cinematography and Medical, and is often contractually obligated to measure 100% of the lenses it produces.
Using both diamond turning and grinding/polishing equipment to machine a very large variety of materials (fused silica, silicon, germanium, etc.), the high precision measurement instruments available through CEMMNT provide the essential intra-process measurements required to ensure quality is maintained. Enabling faster measurement throughput for these production environments, both measurement and analysis routines are now able to be automated using a newly enhanced Aspherics Analysis Utility that can be combines with instrument control.
