PRECESS Polishing process
Realistic process modelling for more precise polishing results
Since the 1960s, polishing calculations in optical manufacturing have been based on simplified motion models. The PRECESS method, developed by Mandler Engineering, takes a fundamentally new approach: it takes into account the actual machine kinematics, including the oscillation movement, directly in the process and polishing pad calculation for the first time.
01
Starting point
Challenge
Traditional calculation models assume static or simplified motion sequences. However, modern polishing machines work almost exclusively with superimposed oscillating movements. The consequence: systematic deviations between the model and reality, which lead to errors in process design.

OUR APPROACH
Solution
The PRECESS process models material removal, taking into account the actual machine kinematics. In addition, dynamic coating calculation enables for the first time the transfer of modern simulation methods to classical bitumen tools – a combination that opens up completely new manufacturing possibilities.
