Reel-to-reel – optics and sensor technology
The optics industry has always been a very constant sector with many diverse innovations in Germany – and this for over 100 years.
As a supplier to the optics industry, etching and laser technology works to keep it that way – offering countless possibilities where others meet their limit.
Etching technology and reel-to-reel in optics engineering make it possible …
- to achieve lower prices with medium and larger quantities on the one hand, and to clearly improve production economy by direct down-line processing on the other hand.
- to produce large series.
- to meet the high requirements on the absence of burrs, as well as cleanliness, and on parts that are produced with very little mechanical tension, unlike created by stamping and heat treatment.
- to realize specification with etched reels integrating easily into the customer’s specific processes. The reels are equipped with locating holes for controlling the cycle time of production machinery.
- to carry out a 100 % reel inspection by using an optical inspection system (AOI).
- to achieve qualitatively equal results as without reel-to-reel etching.
