IL300
UP Lathe

flexible. productive. allrounder.

The IL300 is the leading ultra-precision diamond lathe for highly productive, highly flexible optics manufacturing. It was developed to increase productivity in ultra-precision technology. Consistently integrated zero-point clamping systems with submicron accuracy, a stainless-steel housing and a highly dynamic lightweight construction for maximum dynamics. The applications range from standard diamond turning to free-form manufacturing and microstructure generation to diamond turning of steel and infrared materials with ultrasound support (ILSONIC).

Key Features

NanoGrip

Our NanoGrip zero-point clamping system interface allows for submicron repeatability in exchanging tools, sensors for in line metrology and work pieces with only a few seconds. It’s a fundamental feature for the leading-edge productivity of Innolite´s ultra-precision machines.
Individual pallets with four index positions for rotating at 90° angular steps are the exchangeable interface for the chucks mounted and aligned at the spindle (for work piece exchange) and at the Z-slide (for tool and sensor exchange).
Due to it´s robust design, turning operation of up to 5.000 rpm is supported on the spindle side. With a vacuum chuck adapter provided by Innolite, standard diamond turning functionality meets high productivity in next generation optical manufacturing.
