QED TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF MRF(r) POLISHING SYSTEM CLASSIFIED AS EAR99
September 07 2011 - 11:44AM
QED Technologies International Inc, (QED), pioneer and exclusive
provider of Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF®) polishing and
Subaperture Stitching Interferometry (SSI®) metrology platforms for
the precision optics industry, announces the availability of a
specially configured MRF polishing system with U.S. Government
EAR99 classification.
QED has developed a new MRF polishing machine, the Q22-XE3,
which is classified as EAR99 and can be shipped to many countries
and destinations under most circumstances without requiring an
export license.
The Q22-XE3 is designed to polish with the same accuracy as
other QED MRF systems, but it employs fewer axes of motion. It
can polish many rotationally symmetric, convex and concave optics
up to 100 millimeters in diameter, but within a narrower range than
other QED MRF systems.
"We anticipate that this new MRF machine design may enable wide
adoption of QED’s MRF technology in countries where our MRF
technology previously has been challenging to obtain", said Andrew
Kulawiec, President of QED Technologies. "We believe this
should allow us to apply the same design concept to other QED MRF
polishing machines in the future thereby enabling the polishing of
optics larger than 100 millimeters in diameter."
