Custom laser optics made from zinc selenide and zinc sulfide in virtually any shape and size, with precise tolerances and surface finishes, are being introduced by Laser Research Optics.
Bulky part machining can often become very difficult to integrate into a manufacturing process, when attempting to perform multiple operations on conventional CNC machines. Limited space or axis travel, one-sided spindle or tool accessibility are common restrictions when trying to design and fit multiple tool requirements onto a rigid machine concept. In addition, cycle time demands and accessibility issues from all sides and angles can make a single tool, 3-axis CNC machine option a losing proposition. One new solution involves compact and self-contained single tool Multi-Master flex shaft machining units from SUHNER.
