Technology

By using flux-free soldering processes for joining all components, our products are completely free of organic materials and therefore have zero outgassing.

Our products are the first choice for vacuum and other LIC (Laser Induced Contamination) critical assemblies.

The lack of shrinkage of the solder materials results in a permanently stable alignment.

Repeated alignment of single components within an assembly is possible. This means you can easily optimize an assembly’s performance after it has been completely set up.

Design Heritage

Having our roots in the space business, our products do not only benefit from the natural advantages of the solder technology. In addition, the designs have been optimized to withstand the most demanding environmental conditions while maintaining alignment accuracies below 10 µrad:

  • Vibration
  • Shock
  • Temperature cycling

This high accuracy under demanding conditions makes our products the ideal choice for your applications in harsh environments.
