PRECISION AND ECONOMY
Molding/Precision molding of optical glass:
The molding process employed by Docter Optics is based on the use of rods and blanks of various different types of glass. Since the glass is not molded in the liquid phase but only softened, it is possible to achieve greater contour accuracy and better surface quality. The process used by Docter Optics permits relatively short cycle times and therefore reduces the cost of production.
Conventional grinding and polishing:
Depending on the specifications and quantities involved, Docter Optics produces optical components either with equipment and technology that has basically remained unchanged since the beginning of industrialized optical production or with advanced CNC grinding, polishing and centering machinery. The use of the optimal technology for each specific product permits fast delivery and low production costs.
Thermal hardening:
Enhancement of optical components through thermal hardening.
Testing methods:
- Confocal microscope with white light interferometer for contactless measurement of lens topology
- Tactile 2D and 3D measurement
- Interferometry
