IRP-200/A11 super-polishing machine

The Zeeko IRP-200/A11 is one of a range of next-generation CNC machines with an entirely new approach to the polishing of simple or of complex optical surfaces. In less than two years, these machines have established a deserved reputation in the world of high precision polishing.

The machine employs an advanced and sophisticated control system that makes use of metrology data to achieve extremely high levels of accuracy and surface finish.

Driven by a new generation of intelligent software and capable of moving in multiple axes, the adaptive polishing head allows components to be manufactured to a precision never before predictably attained. The machine combines a series of leading edge technologies that make it possible to manufacture a new generation of lenses, mirrors and other high precision surfaces.

Manufacture: Zeeko

IRP-200

Key features:

  • the adaptive pressure-tool that automatically "tunes" to local surface errors
  • the unique "Precessions © " control software providing multi-directional polishing for superb surface texture.

Within the group the Zeeko machine is currently being used to polish medical devices including hard on hard hip and knee systems
