Alignment turning for high-precision optical systems

The demand for high-precision optical manufacturing technologies is increasing.

This includes the need to align passive optical elements such as single lenses and lens systems as well as active optical elements such as laser diodes. For passive and active optical components, alignment turning meets the increasing industrial requirements for precision, freedom of design, automation, and competitive production times, as described in this Mikroniek article. Often, the use of alignment turning is a robust and more efficient alternative to the active alignment of optical systems. (Image courtesy of TRIOPTICS).

Order of frictions and stiffnesses…

For lumped systems consisting of different frictions and stiffnesses, there has been confusion in literature about hysteresis curves and virtual play for many decades.

Make it clean

In mid-April, the second edition of the Manufacturing Technology Conference and the fifth edition of the Clean Event were held together, for the first time, at the Koningshof in Veldhoven (NL).
