Optical & Photonics
Precision diamond and superabrasive solutions for grinding, lapping and polishing optical glass, crystals, ceramics and other advanced optical materials.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
HANS provides precision diamond and superabrasive tools for optical and photonics manufacturing, supporting controlled grinding, shaping, lapping and surface finishing of optical glass, crystals, ceramics and other hard and brittle materials. Our solutions are suitable for lenses, optical components and precision parts requiring accurate geometry and high-quality surface finishes.
KEY CHALLENGES
Optical component manufacturing requires precise dimensional control, low surface roughness and minimal subsurface damage. Hard and brittle optical materials are sensitive to chipping, scratches and edge damage, making abrasive size, tool geometry and progressive finishing processes critical to achieving consistent results.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
Recommended solutions include precision diamond grinding wheels and discs for shaping and edge preparation, diamond lapping films and fine abrasives for controlled surface finishing, resin diamond tools for progressive polishing, and precision diamond burs for detailed processing. Tool dimensions, grit sizes and configurations can be customized for specific optical materials and equipment.
KEY BENEFITS
Controlled material removal, reduced chipping and surface damage, consistent geometry, improved surface quality and reliable progression from grinding through fine finishing. Custom grit specifications, dimensions and OEM tooling solutions are available for specialized optical and photonics manufacturing processes.
