Special production
Our experience with various joining techniques in combination with laser processing of materials enables us to offer optical elements with complicated shapes. Customized products are made in consultation with the customer after discussing the technology and agreeing on the measurement methods. Custom-made products often include transparent prototypes of motors or pumps, intricately shaped holders and insulators in the electrical industry and models for science. Custom-made products are always produced in close contact and exchange with the customer.
Here is a typical example of a customized special design. For this piece, a (0001)-oriented cylinder was drilled from a Kyropoulos block, then the flanges were machined and finally optically polished inside and out. (Ø 20 mm x 100 mm length, custom-made)
The next example is a sapphire mount that is being developed as a suspension for mirrors used in gravitational wave research projects. Here, a sapphire rod is connected to sapphire cubes at each end.
