Top Design Engineering Considerations For Optical Assemblies

In this eBook, we provide an overview of the design engineering considerations to keep in mind when planning the manufacture of an optical assembly.

CNC Workholding Systems offer operational flexibility.

Pallet-Vise may be used as stand-alone solution for machining or in multiple-pallet configuration for larger parts or high-volume production. Alternatively, Vac-Vise may be used as vacuum chuck or pallet system simultaneously to hold various workpiece shapes and sizes. Both allow machining and marking of workpieces without custom fixtures and are designed to facilitate creation of repeatable...

Vacmagic

Mitee-Bite Products introduces the Vacmagic, a versatile vacuum pallet changing system that runs off 70-80 psi of standard shop air, no vacuum pump required. The customer can run high volume production runs at the same feeds and speeds they normally would, with the repeatability of .0002. Swap over to a vacuum pallet for those jobs too difficult to clamp and be up and running within seconds....
