Consistent development of Innolite machine technology has led to the new IL200. This machine features unique wireless technology for precise movement, achieving surface roughness values <0.5 nm Ra. With an innovative air bearing spindle spinning at 18,000 RPM, it offers high efficiency for producing items like infrared lenses. Using lightweight ceramic-based slides, the IL200 combines the speed of Fast Tool systems with the versatility of Slow Tool technology for cost-effective production of free-form surfaces and microstructures.

The IL300 stands out as the top choice for ultra-precise diamond lathe, designed for efficient and versatile optics production. Its development aimed at enhancing productivity in ultra-precision technology. The machine features seamlessly integrated zero-point clamping systems, ensuring submicron precision, a durable stainless-steel housing, and a lightweight structure for optimal dynamics. It caters to various applications, spanning from traditional diamond turning to free-form fabrication and intricate microstructure creation, even enabling diamond turning of steel and infrared materials with ultrasound assistance (ILSONIC).

In addition to large components with diameters of up to 500 mm, the IL500 offers unique options for simultaneous processing equipment or process parallelization. With three or four ultra-precision axes, spherical, free-form, and micro-structured optics can be efficiently manufactured. Integrated measurement technology enables inline surface characterization with direct compensation. This allows preprocessing steps and ultra-precise finishing to be efficiently combined with the highest levels of accuracy. Designed for robot loading, the machine is the ideal platform for automated series production.

The IL600 is a four- or optionally five-axis ultra-precision machining center for highly productive optics production. The integrated NanoGrip zero-point clamping systems are world leaders in flexibility in diamond machining systems. The IL600 enables the combination of diamond turning and free-form turning, planing, and milling, as well as the grinding of optical surfaces. In addition to machining processes, we offer a range of contact and non-contact sensors that can be fully integrated into the machine and the control system for advanced component characterization.

IL1200 is an ultra-precision 4-axis CNC vertical machining center designed for machining large optical mirrors up to 1.2 m in diameter with high accuracy. It can handle various materials such as metals, crystals, and polymers. The machine features advanced components like a self-leveling system, cooling systems, non-contact measurement, and diamond turning capabilities. The vertical spindle arrangement ensures precise alignment, and the software allows for machining different types of surfaces with high precision.
