The Precitech Fast Tool Servo systems allow for diamond turning andmachining of freeform surface structures such as micro-prisms, torics, off-axis aspheres and lens array formations. Fully functional for our Nanoform product line. |
| Introducing the New Fast Tool Servo (FTS™) system adaptable to our Nanoform® machines. These FTS™ systems enable the diamond turning of surface structures such as micro-prisms, torics, off-axis aspheres, and various lens array formations at either 70 or 500 microns of stroke. |
| The tool path software uses a C-program or bitmap image to describe the desired part topography. An external PC with DSP(digital signal processor) uses high resolution angular feedback on the work spindle and the linear position feedback of the machine translational slide to "real-time" calculate the axial position of the tool. |
| The Precitech FTS™ systems are designed to produce very high dynamic movement during the turning process with low mechanical noise. |
