Research projects

The precision machining of optical elements and special joining techniques for joining optical elements have given us the opportunity to participate in well-known international research projects such as KAGRA, VIRGO and ET (Einstein Telescope).
We have been manufacturing suspensions for mirrors made of glass, sapphire or silicon for these facilities for many years.
Our experience in the customized production of structures and our good knowledge of the physical properties of the materials enable us to work closely with institutes.
Our expertise in the development and design of objects for gravitational wave research is in demand right from the early stages of construction.

Our many years of experience with various joining techniques in combination with laser processing of materials enables us to participate in other research projects at PTB, DLR, ESA or Caltech.
