Optical tools - Import export

STEEC makes very high-precision parts and supplies numerous companies in the medical sector. These companies are seeking reliable partners that have proved their professionalism and have demonstrated their ability to be a trusted partner in all subcontracting relationships. STEEC is involved in the manufacture of implantable or ancillary parts makes parts such as laser cut stents, spark eroded implantable orthopaedic staples or even micro-milled medical optical tools. STEEC is therefore regularly audited by its customers in the medical sector, who year after year renew their confidence in the company

Knight Optical offer a range of Stock Achromatic Doublet Lenses for use within Light Engines. Light engines are used for applications such as fibre optic lighting displays & in diagnostic tools like western blots & polymerase chain reaction systems. These Light Engines are typically able to produce changing colour displays. Within the light engine are a range of lenses & filters. The lenses help to homogenise and collimate the light, ensuring for a crisp high-quality beam output. Achromatic Doublets are typically used in light engine systems & correct for chromatic aberrations which exist in singlet lenses. This is when different wavelengths of light refract at different rates. The doublet lens helps to correct this by facilitating the focusing of the light to the same point. This is especially important in light engines which typically generate white light. Read PDF for more information

With the chip-removing microstructuring of metal surfaces, LT Ultra offers the right manufacturing technology for the production of embossing tools with optical surface qualities that allow economical replication in large numbers. Examples of microstructuring are the production of microfluidics or microlenses on our ultra-precise multi-axis machines. We can manufacture the structures directly in various materials such as brass, chemically deposited nickel or in selected hardened steels.For the replicating production of optical components, ultra-precise mold inserts made of steel are of particular interest due to their very long service life compared to other materials. In order to avoid the final polishing, which often leads to an undesirable change in shape or which is impossible due to a high structure density, LT Ultra offers ultrasound-assisted machining of steels with geometrically defined cutting edges made of monocrystalline diamond.

To create ideal conditions in terms of rigidity and damping for multi-axis machining, the series was equipped with hydrostatic (oil) bearings. By using diamond tools, optical surface quality can be achieved on a wide range of materials like crystals, nonferrous metals and plastics, even with complex geometries. Similar to the MMC 600/900 air bearing machines, the basic setup can be equipped with various accessories. The basic setup consists of 3 linear axes and can be upgraded by additional rotary, tilt or spindle axes to 4, 5 or 6 axes. Accessories, like different spindles, vacuum chucks, palleting systems, 3D touch probes for workpiece measurement, tool changer and automated tool setting, allow an effective use of the machine. Besides further accessories, there is the possibility to develop customized solutions, to adapt the machine to your needs.Please do not hesitate to contact us.
