Precision optics require rigorous measurement and alignment of aspherical lens surfaces to ensure exceptional optical quality. Shanghai Optics, a leading supplier of custom optical components and lens assemblies, places a strong emphasis on accuracy in metrology services. The use of the OptiCentric® instrument series, especially the OptiCentric® 100 Dual, showcases our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art optical solutions and maintaining high industry standards.
The integration of motorization capabilities into the OptiCentric® 100 system represents a significant enhancement over manual systems. This motorized tool stage not only supports horizontal (x) and vertical (z) adjustments but also allows precise tilt angle (theta) control. Such flexibility is crucial for aligning aspherical surfaces, which often require variable tilt angles. By ensuring accurate alignment and enabling smooth transitions between different lenses and barrel types, this innovation enhances process reliability and efficiency, underscoring Shanghai Optics’ pursuit of excellence.

Measuring the centration of multi-lens assemblies can be challenging, with misalignments often affecting accuracy in rear lens surfaces. The OptiCentric® 100 Dual, developed by TRIOPTICS, effectively addresses these challenges by using two measurement heads—one above and one below the sample. This dual-head configuration enhances the measurement process’s flexibility and accessibility, making it ideal for complex lens systems.
The OptiCentric® 100 series introduces significant improvements in measurement head stability and overall process efficiency. A standout feature is the ability to use both measurement heads of the OptiCentric® 100 Dual simultaneously. By employing stroboscopic illumination, the system ensures that each head only detects light relevant to its measurements, preventing interference. This dual measurement capability can cut the time required to assess multi-lens systems by up to 50%, providing a substantial advantage in production environments.
In addition to its measurement capabilities, the OptiCentric® 100 Dual facilitates lens alignment by enabling the simultaneous monitoring of lens or objective axis inclination and displacement. This functionality covers all degrees of freedom, eliminating the need for iterative adjustments. As a result, it streamlines alignment processes, maximizes productivity, and increases overall efficiency.
The OptiCentric® 100 IR stands out for its versatility and integration. Unlike traditional infrared centering measurement systems, this model combines visual, medium-wave, and long-wave infrared measurement heads into one compact tabletop device. This integration addresses a wide range of optical needs, from lens inspection to assembly and characterization. The device’s intuitive design and compact size make it a versatile and space-saving option for various optical applications.
Shanghai Optics remains at the forefront of optical excellence through its adoption of the OptiCentric® instrument series. The OptiCentric® 100 Dual highlights our commitment to precision, innovation, and process reliability. These cutting-edge instruments redefine metrology services and reinforce Shanghai Optics’ leadership in the custom optical components and lens assemblies market. As the optical industry advances, OptiCentric® instruments continue to set new standards for accuracy, efficiency, and quality.
