(Mahr: Providence, RI) -- Mahr has introduced a new high-precision measuring station to measure and evaluate optical components, including freeform, aspheric, and spherical lenses. Developed to provide quick 2D and 3D testing to support the entire lens production process, the MarForm MFU 200 Aspheric 3D is CNC operated with nine motorized axes, including four measuring axes, and delivers the highest measuring speed available and ultra-precise path control. The system includes both an interferometric point sensor for fully noncontact measurements, and a tactile probing system for surfaces in early stages of production that do not allow the interferometer to interact well with the rough surface.
