How an Aspheric Lens is Made
Edmund Optics® manufactures thousands of precision aspheric lenses per month in our asphere manufacturing cell that operates 24 hours a day. This video shows the entire manufacturing process of an asphere including curve generation, in-process metrology, computer numerical controlled (CNC) grinding, CNC polishing, magnetorheological finishing (MRF), centering, coating, and final inspection.
