Overview

Site-Specific Grinder/Polisher

The OptiPrep™ System is designed for production polishing of a wide variety of optical components including Ferrules, Connectors, Waveguides, Silicon V-groove, Optical Chips, Capillary/Glass Lenses, Fiber Bundles, Ribbon Fiber and Bare Fiber

Optical polishing applications rely on specific geometry. The OptiPrep™ features a fixed cam-lock interface reference that is parallel to the plane of the platen. Desired sample angles are obtained based on geometric orientation built into the fixture.

Z-positioning/indexing is displayed on the digital indicator with 1-micron resolution and can be pre-set for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation/limit rotation and oscillation with variable sweep maximize use of the entire abrasive surface.

Adjustable load control expands its capability to handle a range of small (delicate) to large samples.

Applications where the OptiPrep™ is used often require custom fixtures. Please contact Allied for assistance with a current fixture or to design and manufacture a fixture for a complete solution.
