ACM – Centering Measurement Device for Aspheres

Highly precise measurement of single- and double-sided aspheres

The ACM (Asphere Centering Measurement Device) is a powerful system for precisely determining centering errors and surface data on aspheric optical components. It combines high-resolution measurement technology with an additional rotational axis and is ideal for development and manufacturing environments with the highest demands.

Absolute World First with V-SPOT Technology

Measure multidimensionally – detect secondary errors

With V-SPOT technology and redundant acquisition of meridional and sagittal data, even the smallest asphere errors become visible. Secondary defects, such as "kinks in the optics," can be reliably diagnosed.

Multi SPOT for Parallel Surface Measurement

Analyze aspheres faster and more completely

Simultaneous acquisition of multiple meridians significantly reduces measurement time and provides precise information about the optical and mechanical axis of the asphere – without the need to remount the lens.

High Accuracy in Manufacturing Environments

Extremely precise – even for small radii and lenses

The ACM is especially suitable for high-precision measurements on small lenses with tight tolerances. The optional air bearing system enables sub-micron centering and sub-arcsecond wobble accuracy.

Intuitive Operation with ELWISOFT Touch Software

4 measurement processes for maximum flexibility

The modular ELWISOFT software includes specialized applications for aspheric geometries – including Fourier-based MSFE analysis.

Software Modules
