Abstract
The Opticam®SM was designed1 in the early 1990’s for use in the investigation of microgrinding at the University of Rochester’s Center for Optics Manufacturing. A multi-axis flexible machining center was delivered2 to the University in mid-1992, and is now located at the Center’s site in Rochester. This first SM machine represented a milestone in the design of machine tools specific to the manufacture of spherical lenses. Based on the experience gained from the construction and use of the original SM, a design is now being prototyped for a new machine tool for general lens production. This presentation will describe the design of this new machine tool, the Microform®SM.
