The precision manufacture of spheres, aspheres, hyperbolas,
parabolas, sub-miniature parts, optics and other precision components
with mirror-like surfaces requires Super Precision (or Ultra Precision)
machining. In addition to experience in programming and fixture
design at this micron-level of accuracy, Slabe Machine’s Super/Ultra
Precision department utilizes technologically advanced machine tools
that have certain characteristics such as:
Rigid machine construction allows us to produce precision
components that range in size from microscopic to 52mm (bar)
/ 205mm (chuck).
Epoxy or natural granite bases for thermal and mechanical stability
Hydrostatic oil bearing box-way linear axes, DC linear motors
and high-speed air bearing spindles for vibration dampening, smoothness
of rotational motion and dynamic stiffness
High-resolution linear scales and high-speed controllers with
advanced drives and error compensation devices for precise axis
position feedback.
