LightPath Technologies Wins Large Precision Molded Glass Optics Contract from Renishaw
For Immediate Release:
Engineers from LightPath and Renishaw collaborated to achieve the optimal balance of performance and cost for this unique application. LightPath’s advanced precision glass molding expertise along with proprietary coating design and technologies enable a repeatable process that is scalable to high volume production and has created a product like no other.
Jim Gaynor, President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, commented: “The contract from Renishaw was borne from a continuing partnership with our distribution partner AMS Technologies. AMS Technologies, as Europe’s leading solution provider and distributor for optical, power and thermal management technologies, has joined forces with LightPath for its advanced precision molded optical lens capabilities to develop mass market and proprietary products for Renishaw and other international customers. This contract from Renishaw means that two large scale projects have now been awarded to LightPath in the last 12 months, demonstrating the continued successful implementation of our global molded lens growth strategy.”
RESOLUTE is a true-absolute, fine pitch optical encoder system that has excellent dirt immunity, and an impressive specification that breaks new ground in position feedback. It is the world's first absolute encoder capable of 1 nm resolution and speeds up to 100 m/s for linear systems, and 32-bit resolution up to 36 000 rev/min for rotary systems. The product’s ultra-low Sub-Divisional Error and jitter result in a linear encoder system that outperforms any other encoder in its class.
