We supply our CNC flycutting lathes to companies who value precision and accuracy above anything else – including components manufacturers for defence, automotive and optical industries. Mistakes are simply not an option for our customers and that why our range of flycutting lathes guarantee rotational accuracy better than ±2 seconds of arc.

Our machine, the BS1720P has been specifically designed and manufactured for the production of single or multifaceted optical components using natural diamond to produce supreme surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. The BS1720P is an ultra-precision two axis machine with an optional rotary and inclinable table to provide a further two axis for the machining of polygons.

The work pieces are mounted onto the machine and either held using a vacuum system or by means of a mechanical arrangement. The horizontal flycutting spindle can be manually adjusted to remove material from the surface of the work piece. Pre-installed program settings mean that the machine can left unattended whilst the machine diamond flycuts the mirror. Flycutters up to 500mm diameter can be used on this machine.

	The CNC control system is windows based rendering it compatible with standard operating systems, making it extremely easy to use.
	The machine is adaptable and can produce both plano and multi-faceted components.
	The BS1720P is built on a synthetic Granite material and incorporates a pneumatic vibration mounting system.
	The BS1720P incorporates the latest remote diagnostics software so our engineers can monitor the machine.
	The flycutting head incorporates air bearing technology which offer high levels of stiffness and trueness of rotation.

As with all our machines, Bryant Symons provide a full training program for machine operators, plus operation manuals and on-going technical support.

We offer an extremely flexible approach to the design and manufacture of the planoform machines which you won't find elsewhere. We tailor planoform machines to your individual needs - so you get the machine that's exactly right for your business.

Bryant Symons planoform machines are used to manufacture components for the global defence industry, particularly aerospace, missile manufacture, and thermal imaging systems. Other areas include the medical and optical industries, lenses and mechanical parts. Planoform machines have many potential applications within the commercial industry eg the manufacture of seals, bearings and plastics.
