Setting trends since 1978
Nowadays, lenses are getting known to more people as they are found to be very helpful. Although glasses are a good alternative and are used for years, when it comes to lenses, they are definitely a good choice.
You might wonder how those tiny, intricate lenses that go into our optical devices are made? Here in this blog, we will look into the fascinating process of Lens Manufacturing which would include all the essential steps taken in the production of Lens Manufacturing.
It starts with a basic understanding and idea to manufacture a lens. Firstly, the basic requirements of the lens are developed before any manufacturing process starts. With Focal Length, Aperture, quality, it is also essential to understand why, what and how the lens would be used. This step is taken over by a professional team with some software and tools to make the overall design of the lens.
With the first step of Conceptualization being done, the material selection is done carefully for the lens which has to be made. The types of materials available in the market differ in their quality and properties which have a great effect on manufacturing. So for the lens chosen to be manufactured, the required material of good quality is taken up in the second step of lens manufacturing.
Now comes the intricate process of shaping the lens. This is done through a combination of grinding and polishing techniques. The lens material is carefully shaped using diamond tools to achieve the desired curvature and thickness. This step requires immense precision and attention to detail to ensure the lens meets the exact specifications.
With the grinding & polishing of the lens with immense precision being done, coating is the next step required. A thin layer of coating is given to the surface of the lens to increase its durability. Coating techniques might differ for different lenses according to their design and properties. But the main reason for the coating is that it protects the lens from any kind of damage and also enhances its properties to work better.
Without the quality control checks, none of the lenses manufactured are out for the next processing. There is an intensified quality check of every lens manufactured to check that the quality of the lens is not compromised in any way. If any imperfection or mistake is detected, it is completely corrected and then rechecked to ensure no issue occurs with the lens while further processed or used.
With the lenses being manufactured completely, they are to be assembled if required. Once assembled, the lenses go through a final testing by the experts to ensure that the lenses work flawlessly and deliver the expected results without any defect.
Finally, once the lenses pass all the required processes and are verified by the experts for any defect, they are packaged well for distribution. The process is as important as others because the lenses are to be carefully packaged, so they are not damaged in any way.
