Optical polishing machine - < 100 mm | Q22-XE

The Q22-XE is specifically designed to polish small optics (up to 100mm in diameter.) With its compact footprint and user friendly interface, the Q22-XE is ideal for any production environment.

The Q22-XE also offers a small (20 mm diameter) wheel that allows polishing of even steeper concave optics (concave radius as small as 15 mm!) The Q22-XE can improve each surface figure by more than 5x in each polishing run. With its low price point, the Q22-XE is automated, easy-to-use, deterministic precision that belongs in every optics shop.

Optical polishing machine - 50 - 350 mm | Q22-750P2

The Q22-750 machine family is configurable to meet your specific applications and the machines are available with many different platform options including 1-2 wheels and up to 5 axes of motion.

Advantages of the Q22-750P2
Dual-wheel platform provides extreme flexibility.
Large wheel (370 mm) has high material removal rates to cover large surfaces quickly.
Small wheel (50 mm) can polish small lateral spatial wavelengths (e.g., on segmented, lightweighted optics...) and reduce edge effects.
Two completely independent fluid delivery systems allow maintenance or fluid change on one while the other is polishing.
On-board cameras provide web-based monitoring for remote support during extended polishing runs.

Optical polishing machine - ø = 370 mm | Q22-950F-PC

Polish aperture sizes up to 900 mm x 1100 mm:
* Large, lightweighted optics with very thin face sheet;
* Extra-large telescope (ELT) segmented optics;
* Freeform optics, including off-axis aspheres;
* Improved surface...

Optical polishing machine - ø = 370 mm | Q22-950F-PC

Polish aperture sizes up to 900 mm x 1100 mm:
* Large, lightweighted optics with very thin face sheet;
* Extra-large telescope (ELT) segmented optics;
* Freeform optics, including off-axis aspheres;
* Improved surface integrity, e.g., for resistance to laser damage.
Additional options further the capabilities of the Q22-950F Polishing Center

Key to the Q22-950F’s increased performance is the availability of three different "heads".
The Pad Polisher allows for smoothing of mid-spatial frequencies (e.g. “cutter marks” or other grinding residuals). The 50mm wheel polishes parts as small as 50mm in diameter and allows for low edge exclusion. This option also allows for high spatial frequency resolution and lightweight quilting correction.
The Q22-950F-PC features a 370 mm diameter wheel on a rotating axis for polishing planos, spheres and aspheres, as well as freeform optics.
