Traditional manufacturing
ELDIM’s optical lab processes all types of materials and shapes with high precision, from single prototypes to large series.
What is traditional manufacturing at ELDIM ?
ELDIM employs traditional manufacturing methods, despite the fact that we have modern tools, the traditional part is important and essential to be able to offer a wider service in response to demand and to produce top-notch optical components. This process involves choosing raw materials, shaping them using grinding and polishing techniques, and adding coatings for functionality. In the following steps, we will describe the different stages involved in this traditional manufacturing process.
ELDIM expertise in optical metrology and imaging systems ensures that their products meet industry standards.
ELDIM’s commitment to quality and cutting-edge technology results, high quality optics that maintain our reputation as an industry leader.
Grinding
In ELDIM’s optical lab, the grinding process shapes and smooths optical materials to precise specifications. Raw materials are cut and then ground through coarse, intermediate, and fine stages. Precision is crucial to avoid imperfections. After grinding, components are polished to achieve required smoothness. ELDIM’s expertise in grinding is essential for high quality optical components in scientific, medical, and technological applications.
The grinding process in ELDIM’s optical lab for high-precision optical components involves:
- Diamond cutting for rough cuts
- Diamond trepanning for precise circular cuts and holes
Polishing
Polishing in ELDIM’s Optical Lab is a critical process for achieving smooth and clear optical surfaces by removing imperfections and defects. The process involves using traditional machinery to meet high precision specifications. Expertise and precision in polishing are essential for producing high performance optical components that meet industry standards, improve reliability and customer requirements.
Traditional polishing, a traditional skill that our qualified technicians handle to perfection.
Edging
The edging allows the optical centering of the components and a precision diameter setting according to the standards and customer requirements. To meet precise specifications, ensuring a perfect fit. Edging in the continuity of the end of cycle manufacturing process maintain consistency in quality.
