Abstract

Production blocking of lenses and prisms is unfortunately an area that tends to have the back seat to how well you can generate a block, or the details of effective pellet lapping. Of course, all the processes take second fiddle to high speed polishing. Everyone recognizes, in theory, that production fabrication of precision lenses is not how well any one operation works, but the effective marriage of the entire process.
