The Optical Polishing Robot Production Line

The optical polishing robot production line of Chengdu Yagcrystal Technology Co., Ltd. was officially put into operation recently. It can process high-difficulty optical components such as spherical and aspherical surfaces, significantly enhancing the company’s processing capabilities.

Through the collaboration of an intelligent control system and high-precision sensors, this intelligent production line realizes automated grinding and polishing of complex curved surface components, with a processing error reaching the micron or even nanometer level. It meets the needs of high-end fields such as laser equipment and aerospace remote sensing. For aspherical components, the robot’s multi-axis linkage technology avoids the “edge effect”; for brittle materials, flexible tools reduce stress damage. The qualified rate of finished products is more than 30% higher than that of traditional processes, and the daily processing capacity of a single production line is 5 times that of traditional manual work.

The commissioning of this production line has filled the gap in the intelligent processing capacity of high-end optical components in the region, marking a major leap in the company’s development history.

ABB Robotics continues to lead the automation industry with its cutting-edge industrial robots, delivering unmatched precision, efficiency, and versatility in polishing applications. Designed for high-performance manufacturing, ABB’s robots enhance productivity while ensuring superior surface finishes across various industries.

“ABB’s robotic solutions redefine polishing efficiency, combining speed with perfection,” said [Spokesperson Name], ABB Robotics “Our technology empowers manufacturers to meet rising demands while maintaining exceptional quality.”

In the field of precision optics, the company processes a wide range of materials, including sapphire, diamond, K9, quartz, silicon, germanium, CaF, ZnS, ZnSe, and YAG. We specialize in high-precision machining, coating, and metallization of planar, spherical, and aspherical surfaces. Our distinctive capabilities include large dimensions, ultra-high precision, super-smooth finishes, and high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). Taking sapphire as an example, we achieve surface finishes of 10/5 scratch-dig, PV λ/20, RMS λ/50, and Ra < 0.1 nm, with an LIDT 70 J/cm².
