Lens Handler

lens handler product

The Lens Handler™ Model LCS-002, integrates the cleaning, painting and installation of optical elements into one smooth, continuous cycle and delivers increased productivity in coating, assembly and QA processes. Handling of lens elements is reduced. Cleanliness is easier to maintain. Cosmetic performance is improved. Training and cross-training is simplified.

Applications

CLEANING	optical elements for inspection/ coating
PAINTING	lens edges
ASSEMBLING	multi-element lenses
LOADING	coating racks and fixtures
DISASSEMBLING	optical systems

An optical element is secured by vacuum on a rotating Delrin® spindle thus freeing the operator's hands for delicate work. Speeds can be varied from 40 rpm to 200 rpm. The vacuum pincette allows transfer and precise placement of optical elements without exposing sensitive surfaces to fingerprints and chipping. A wide range of tooling accepts diameters from 1 mm to 300 mm. Custom inquiries are welcome.

Cleaning Tip

The most efficient means of cleaning optics is by wiping straight from the center to the edge while the optic is rotating.

Edge Painting Tip

We can easily supply custom vacuum cups to match the needs of your application. For example we can add a sliding centering chuck to eliminate the wobble from off-axis spindle rotation >> more
