Frequent Questions about Optical Ball Lenses

What kind of glass material is the most suitable to produce high-precision optical glass balls? How do the refractive index, transmittance, and thermal stability of the material affect the quality of the finished product?

In the process of making high-precision optical glass balls, we mainly choose materials according to the technical needs of customers. For instance, high index ball lenses use glass materials with a high index. On the premise of meeting the technical needs of customers, we will provide several alternative materials, such as domestic ones, mainly to reduce costs. Of course, this is only used with the consent of customers.

The processing of glass balls employs optical cold working technology. Therefore, refractive index and thermal stability will not affect the quality of finished products.

What steps are usually involved in the spheroidization process of optical glass spheres? Are spinning, melt dripping, or other techniques involved?

The spheroidization mainly involves the following two steps: First, the large sheet is cut into small squares, and the small squares are rolled into balls. Then the grinding and polishing are continued until the finished product.

How to decide whether to add a coating to the surface of an optical glass sphere? How do different coating types and thicknesses affect optical performance?

Coatings are added according to customer requirements.

Which process of making high-precision optical glass spheres can be automated? Which processes still rely on manual skills?

1. Cutting of raw materials: automated
2. Grinding and polishing: semi-automated
3. Cleaning: automated
4. Inspection: manual
