The JNX-500™ on a Precitech Machine

JONIX LLC is the world leader in Fast Tool Servo (FTS) technology. We employ air bearing technology in our fast tool servos resulting in smooth, friction-free motion. An air bearing counter balance moving in opposition to the tool balances the reaction forces to eliminate any force that could affect the machine tool on which the FTS is mounted.

The use of JONIX advanced control technology in conjunction with intensive final system set-up and verification, ensures that every system is tuned to its very best performance before it is shipped.


The JNX-500™ & The JNX-1000

Our JNX-500™ and JNX-1000™ devices are comprised of the FTS itself and a compact control electronics module. The small size but robust performance of both the FTS and the supporting electronics allows the system to be installed on ultra precision machine tools (such as the Precitech line of ultra precision machine tools) using very little machine space and very little floor space. These systems are primarily used to produce opthalmic surfaces to include contact lenses, IOLs (inter-ocular lenses) and a variety of molds for opthalmic uses. The JNX-500™ and JNX-1000™ are available with a single tool holder or the dual tool holder option. A coarse and fine height adjustment is integral to each tool holder. This allows two

tools to be independently adjusted in height, such as a roughing tool and finishing tool.

The JSOPS-500™ & The JSOPS-1000

The JSOPS (JONIX SOP System) versions of the FTS are fully integrated into Precitech machines allowing a truly turnkey solution for the manufacture of rotationally non-symmetric surfaces. The JSOPS solution combines the JONIX FTS technology with the programming and machine-control technology of Precitech. The system is comprised of the FTS itself and a control cabinet housing the FTS control electronics along with the computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Depending on the size of the part being manufactured, the JSOPS-500™ or JSOPS-1000™ can be fitted with a single tool nose or the dual tool nose option.
