Taylor Hobson’s Form Talysurf® PGI Freeform, key element to the manufacture of Freeform optics for Greenlight
As a leading developer and manufacturer in the optics industry, Greenlight Optics has been pushing the boundaries of Freeform manufacturing. Taylor Hobson’s Form Talysurf® PGI Freeform has been a crucial enabler in this journey.
Greenlight Optics brings advanced expertise in designing and manufacturing freeform and aspheric optics, essential for various applications including AR/VR, HUD, medical imaging, 3D, night vision, off-axis short throw projection, advanced illumination, light field displays, and sensing/lidar systems. Freeform optics have revolutionized the optics industry, enabling lighter, smaller, and higher-performing systems.
In its pursuit of precision and excellence, Greenlight Optics has developed a comprehensive workflow from design to final optics verification, producing moulded and diamond turned surfaces. Greenlight Optics deals with a wide range of sizes and curvatures in their designs.
Greenlight leverages their precision component manufacturing and builds optical assemblies for both low volume and high volume applications. This includes miniature projectors for AR/HUD and Industrial projectors for 3D Printing, 3D Sensing, and Research. Greenlight also incorporates freeform and aspheric lenses into Imaging Systems, Sensing Modules, Eyepieces and Objectives across the spectrum – including UV, VIS, NIR, and Mid IR.
In an industry where consistency and reliability are paramount, the Form Talysurf® PGI Freeform has proven to be a steadfast partner in the pursuit of optical excellence. It seamlessly integrates into their workflow, providing the precise measurements required to meet stringent requirements.
