Key Takeaways:
Optical mirrors need nanometer-form accuracy. A hydrostatic rotary table's vibration isolation, thermal stability, and ±0.001 mm positioning make it the right foundation for aspheric and parabolic mirror work.
The Challenge
Non-spherical optical elements—aspheric lenses and parabolic mirrors—require form accuracy in the nanometer range. Any spindle or floor vibration, and any thermal drift, corrupts the surface during diamond turning or grinding.

The Hydrostatic Solution
A hydrostatic rotary table floats the workpiece on a 3.5–4 MPa oil film, isolating it from vibration with oil-film damping and keeping temperature stable through oil flow. Marusaku tables reach ±0.001 mm rotary positioning with an air-curtain seal protecting the clean film.
The Outcome
Optical substrates are cut with consistent nanometer-class form and excellent repeatability. The non-contact film removes the runout, crawl, and thermal error that limit conventional tables—enabling true precision optics.
