The machining of free-form hypercyclic surfaces is becoming a hot topic of research and application in modern precision manufacturing. Yighen Ultra Precision, with its advanced nano-machining centers, has demonstrated excellence in this area, providing key support for technological innovation in multiple industries.
Free-form hypercyclic surfaces are complex geometries based on free-form curves rotating around a specific axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is located in the plane of the busbar and is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the busbar, which makes it free-form in every cross-section. The ability to precisely define the shape through complex parametric equations or control points offers significant advantages over traditional geometries in many application scenarios.
The shape's high flexibility allows for customization to meet the functional requirements of various applications. In practical design, such as AR glasses, aircraft wings, and automobile bodies, free-form hypercyclic surfaces can accurately fit complex contours, effectively meet high-performance design requirements, and provide a new way to optimize product performance.
In optical applications, free-form hyper cyclic lenses show unique optical performance advantages. The precise refraction control of light can provide a larger field of view and higher image quality, which has an irreplaceable role in manufacturing high-end optical lenses. The advanced lens design utilizes hundreds of free parameters for point-to-point lens optimization, effectively reducing peripheral distortion distortion and significantly improving optical performance. In the optical system of VR/AR devices, free-form super toric lenses are even driving innovation in optical design, realizing a compact structure while providing a large field of view, high-resolution visual effects, and reducing image distortion aberrations to enhance the user's immersive experience, which has become a key technology driver for the development of the optical industry.
In terms of processing precision, due to its special requirements in optical, mechanical and other applications, free-form super-ring surface processing needs to meet extremely high precision standards. Ultra-precision machining technology is the key to ensuring that its shape error is controlled within a very small range, which is directly related to the reliability and stability of the product performance and poses a serious challenge to the machining process and equipment.
