Freedom of aaa abs Fewer elements | Lighter weight | Increased flexibilityOptimax Systems Inc. Optimax helps its customers prove that great people can do great things with the right technology and support. We leverage our optics manufacturing technology for programs that benefit, mankind and projects that defend our freedom. Our know-how, innovation and speed enable quicker production of precision optics to meet emerging market needs. What is a Freeform? An optical surface with little to no symmetry. Why design with freeforms? Designing with freeforms will make your project have: = Fewer elements = Lighter weight = Increased flexibility And in the end overall better performance. & 5) Freeform Tolerancing Limits for Freeform Surfaces ‘Attribute Minimum Maximum Diameter (mm) 0 500 Characteristics Mild (interferometrically testable) Wild (deviation less than size of part) Extreme (deviation on order of size of part)Common Freeforms Toroid CX EGY 22 14 {1=G= GY Atoroid/Biconic C4GY 1 SAG" ___«¢, 14 THK IGG IGY Re ze Acylinder Cx? a $a X"4a) X44 a4 X"+ 04X84 05k" = (4K) GX] Ge a Re “y Off-Axis Parabola (OAP) Cx Z= 4.
