Precitech Introduces Five Machines for Light Management Applications

Precitech, a global manufacturer of innovative ultra precision machining solutions, introduces the Freeform® MGG microgroove generator and the DRL2000, DRL1700, DRL1200, DRL600 drum roll lathes. These machine platforms are optimized for creating optical structures on molds for light management applications. The end uses of such applications are light bending and brightness enhancing films, reflective material, and LED lighting.

The Freeform MGG is optimized for machining intersecting grooves on flat surfaces typically used in the production of retro‑reflective material. This material is used on street signs and highly visible clothing. What sets the Freeform MGG apart from other grooving machines on the market is its unique contouring vertical axis.

Additionally, Precitech is adding four drum roll lathes (the DRL2000, DRL1700, DRL1200, and DRL600) to its line of ultra precision machines. These lathes are optimized for machining grooves on drum roll surfaces typically used in the production of brightness enhancing films.
