The Technology at your Hand

Using flux-free soldering processes for joining all components of optical mounts has significant advantages:

  • Components and subassemblies are completely free of organic materials and therefore have zero outgassing. Therefore they 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.
  • Defective components can be exchanged for cost-effective maintenance and repair of complex assemblies.
  • Solder joints are insensitive to changes of environmental conditions, e.g. the relative humidity.

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.
