Nanoform X Small Frame Lathes

Brand: AMETEK Precitech Inc

The Nanoform X is designed to increase productivity and ease of use in the diamond turning, milling, and grinding of optical lenses, mold inserts, mirrors, and precision mechanical components.

The machine can be configured from 2 to 4 axis to produce spherical, aspherical and freeform surfaces of up to 440 mm diameter.
Features
  • Fully-opening upper enclosure and lower work envelope allows easier access for setup and cleanup
  • Unique inner compartment design improves Swarf containment
  • Operator console enhancements lead to greater ease of use
  • Innovative suite of productivity tools reduces part and tool setup time
  • HS 150 spindle provides for 5x improvement in thermal stability
  • Dual frame design with TMC Max Damp isolation reduces sensitivity to vibration
  • Industry leading surface finish less than 1 nm Sa
