Operator - Fused Silica Optics

Manufacturing of fused silica aspheric optics from a blank into a polished optic. Responsible for the set-up and operation of a CNC generator, polisher, magnetorheological polisher, metrology and inspection equipment. The machine set-up requires selection of correct tooling and adjustment of the CNC program to produce the specified optic. Proper selection of tools and processing parameters, together with a trained eye for inspection is critical to the successful machining of these components. They will be responsible for controlling and verifying all critical specifications such as thickness, wedge, bevel size, surface figure, surface finish and roughness. The operator is also responsible for cleaning, final inspection and documentation of all optics produced in the asphere cell. They must be able to read and understand all applicable paperwork (i.e. drawings, work instructions, inspection reports, etc) to identify correct processing of parts.
