Abstract
The single point diamond turning process is a careful coordination and control of many important parameters. The Optics MODIL is evaluating a next generation diamond turning machine, designated as the Nanoform 600, manufactured by Rank Taylor Hobson. This work, which is being done in the Productivity Validation Test Bed (PVTB), employs process improvement methodologies which will enable single point turning technology to routinely produce accurate optics for visible or near visible applications.
