What Is Optical Profile Grinding?
Optical Profile Grinding (OPG) is a precision technique that uses optics for ultra-precise machining of intricate shapes or profiles. In OPG, a part image is projected at up to fifty times magnification, guiding the grinding process. The operator or CNC system controls the grinding wheel to follow the projected image’s contour, enabling extremely precise and detailed grinding. This specialized process combines optical precision with controlled material removal.

FAQ
OPG can achieve extremely high accuracy, with tolerances often reaching within microns, depending on the material and part complexity.
OPG is generally more suited for small-batch production or prototype manufacturing due to its precise but time-intensive nature.
OPG is suitable for processing materials such as hardened steels, carbide, and other tough metals used in high-precision applications.
Typically, our lead time is 3 to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the project and the order quantity.
