The Lens Handler™ integrates the cleaning, painting and installation of optical elements into one bench top station. By securing the optical component via vacuum and evenly rotating it, the Lens Handler™ minimizes user handling and introduces consistency in preparing optics for assembly. It delivers increased productivity in coating, assembly and QA processes.
- Integrates multiple processes into one location
- Minimizes rejection rates
- Enables hands free cleaning, inspecting and painting
- Reduces processing time
- Simplifies training and cross-training
- Improves operator productivity via a variable speed spindle
- Is cleanroom compatible and maintenance free
The Lens Handler™ features a vacuum wand for transferring optical elements to the rotational spindle and to housing assembly without exposing surfaces to fingerprints, scratching, chipping, or accidental dropping.
Variable spindle speeds from 40-200 rpm allow users to control rotation of optical elements for cleaning, blackening and beveling edges, or other optical preparation techniques.
A wide range of solid Delirn® vacuum cups holds lens diameters from 1mm to 300 mm without scartching. The vacuum cups are residual free to prevent contaminating optical surfaces and are resistant to alcohol, acetone, and MEK.
Applications
- Assembling and disassembling multi-element systems
- Cleaning lenses for inspection and coating
- Loading coating racks and fixtures
- Blackening lens edges
