How We Meet the Needs of Your Optical Machining Projects
At P4Swiss / Lindel CNC Machining, we combine advanced machining technology with decades of experience to deliver precise, reliable and repeatable optical components. Our process is engineered to support everything from highly sensitive scientific instruments to large-scale manufacturing needs.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality Environment
Every optical part we produce is manufactured in a quality-certified facility, ensuring consistent process control, accuracy and adherence to strict manufacturing standards. This commitment to quality gives our customers confidence that every batch — whether it’s a prototype or a full production run — meets their exact specifications.
Advanced 3-Axis, 4-Axis and 5-Axis CNC Milling
Our shop is equipped with a full range of multi-axis CNC milling machines capable of producing intricate optical geometries, deep pockets, angled cuts and sculpted shapes. These machines significantly reduce the number of setups required, allowing us to maintain accuracy and accelerate turnaround times.
CNC Turning Centers with Live Tooling
Live tooling gives our machinists the ability to perform multiple operations on a single machine, reducing secondary machining steps. This capability is especially valuable when producing cylindrical or rotational optical components that demand exact alignment and repeatability.
Gibbs/CAM Part Programming
Using sophisticated Gibbs/CAM software, our engineering team programs complex optical parts with exceptional detail. CAM simulation ensures that every toolpath is optimized for speed, accuracy and finish quality before machining begins. This digital precision produces flawless repeatability from part to part — even in high-volume production.
Surface Finish and Tolerance Control
Optical components often require extremely smooth surfaces and ultra-tight tolerances. Our machining process is fine-tuned to produce:
- Reduced tool marks
- Improved surface clarity
- Minimized distortion
- Consistent dimensional stability
These qualities are essential for systems involving lenses, light transmission, laser alignment or scientific instrumentation.
Material Expertise for High-Precision Optical Components
Optical machining often utilizes specialty materials that demand careful handling and precise toolpath strategies. Our machinists work confidently with metals, alloys and engineering plastics that support high-level optical performance.
Our ability to machine both metal and polymer-based optical assemblies allows customers to consolidate production with one trusted supplier.
