Large Frame Lathes
If you need the flexibility of a large frame lathe and the quality of a small frame lathe, the Nanoform 700 ultra is precisely the machine you need.
- Industry leading swing and load capacity
- Flexibility to manufacture parts up to 700mm 350mm of X axis travel and ultimate load capacity of 170kg
- 5x improvement in thermal stability HS 150 spindle
- Reduced sensitivity to vibration integral TMC MaxDamp isolation system
- Performance rivaling that of small frame lathes industry leading surface finish of less than 1nm Sa
The Nanoform 700 ultra has a industry leading surface finish spec of 1nm Sa. Its unique 700mm swing and optional 170kg load capacity make it the largest ultra precision machining system able to achieve that level of performance.
The Nanoform 700 ultra is designed for the production of optical lenses, optical mold inserts, mirrors & mechanical components. The machine can be configured from 2 to 4-axes to produce spherical, aspheric and freeform surfaces.
Whether you need to manufacture large parts today, have the flexibility to adapt to future market requirements, or simply save valuable tool setting time. The Nanoform L 1000 is precisely the machine you need.
The Nanoform L 1000 has the largest swing capacity of any standard production ultra precision machining system available on the market.
It is designed for the ultimate productivity and flexibility in diamond turning and deterministic microgrinding of optical lenses, mold inserts, mirrors, and precision mechanical components. The machine can be configured with two, three, or four axes to produce spherical, aspherical, and freeform surfaces.
- Save valuable tool setting time 606mm Z axis tooling plate, able to accommodate multiple tools, metrology devices, and milling/grinding spindles
- Flexibility to manufacture parts up to 1.5m of X axis travel and ultimate load capacity of 170kg
- Performance rivaling that of small frame lathes enlarged X axis granite base, resulting surface finish of less than 1.25nm Sa
- Reduced sensitivity to vibration integral TMC MaxDamp isolation system
Nanoform L 1000 ultra grind
The Nanoform L1000 ultra grind is designed for the ultimate productivity and flexibility in diamond turning and deterministic microgrinding of optical lenses, mold inserts, mirrors, and precision mechanical components. It can be configured with up to 5 axes (X, Z, C, B, and WFast Tool Servo).
Common applications include aspheric and freeform shaped glasses, ceramics, and steels. It’s is also very beneficial for turning infrared materials that require water-based coolant, such as silicon.
Nanoform L 1000 machines have the largest swing capacity of any standard production ultra precision machining systems available on the market.
Benefits
