Vertex Optics has expanded its advanced manufacturing capabilities with the addition of the QED MRF Q-flex 300.

Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF) is a specialized, deterministic polishing technology that uses advanced algorithms with precision surface metrology to correct optical surfaces to world class accuracy.

The addition of MRF is more than a capacity increase. It represents a significant advancement in our manufacturing capabilities, allowing Vertex Optics to move further up the precision optics value chain. By adding one of the industry’s most advanced finishing technologies, we can support tighter tolerances, more complex geometries, and increasingly demanding optical performance requirements.

✨ Key benefits include:

🔹 Improved surface figure accuracy
🔹 Deterministic, predictable material removal
🔹 Enhanced process repeatability
🔹 Faster convergence to specification
🔹 Reduced manufacturing risk on challenging optics
🔹 Support for complex geometries, including aspheres, acylinders, and freeforms

From prototype development to production volumes, the Q-flex 300 strengthens our ability to deliver high-performance optical components for aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor, and research applications.
