Advanced two-axis machines
used in electro optics are designed to produce highly accurate work
pieces. The final work piece accuracy is often dictated by several
error sources such as the machine’s inherent precision, tool
setting, fixturing, environmental conditions and tool waviness. Many
of these are random in nature, except for the accuracy of the Contour
Fine Tooling tool. We are able to offer predictable and highly accurate
tools, which eliminate an important aspect of errors.
Selecting the appropriate tool
for the application is vital for reducing production costs. Contour
offers a free design and consultancy service to assist in selecting
the right tool. The standard waviness value for electro-optics tools
is <0.25µm. However, Contour can offer an extensive range
from <1.0µm down to <0.05µm (less than fifty nanometres). |
