Occupational Safety Training for Binocular Manufacturing

1. Overview of binoculars

a. What are binoculars?

Binoculars are an optical device used to expand long-distance observation capabilities. They consist of two lenses with different diameters arranged in parallel, allowing users to see farther than with the naked eye.

The basic structure of binoculars includes a long focal length lens and a short focal length lens. The long focal length lens (objective lens) is placed far from the object being observed, functioning to focus light from the object and create an image at the real image point. The short focal length lens (ocular lens) is placed close to the user’s eye, magnifying the image created by the objective lens.

When looking through binoculars, users can see a magnified and clearer image compared to the naked eye. Binoculars are widely used in observation activities such as bird watching, hunting, traveling, nature exploration, astronomical research, as well as in military and medical applications.

b. Types of machines for binoculars manufacturing

The binoculars manufacturing process involves many types of machines and equipment. Below are some machines commonly used in the binoculars manufacturing process:

• Lens processing machine: This machine is used to process and manufacture lenses, including long focal length lenses and short focal length lenses. The lens processing machine handles grinding, polishing, and manufacturing the optical components of binoculars.
