Industrialization starts with the right idea and the right design – usually co-developed by our customer and our interdisciplinary team of engineers. We offer a smooth transition from device conception to mass manufacturing by fully understanding the initial system and assay requirements, as well as the essential cost drivers. “Integrating different functions on one chip, e.g. molded filters or printed electrodes, is routine for us. Being able to anticipate and reduce the number of components and manufacturing steps at an early stage might sound trivial, but it can have a massive impact on yield, quality and final price”, says Ing. Gottfried Reiter, Principal Engineer.

Having translated the proof-of-concept into fully functional prototypes, these prototypes are used to optimize processes during pilot production – already considering the requirements of future mass-production. “Frequently, we work with standardized formats e.g. CD format to keep the cost of prototyping as low as possible. For example we make a disc with all functional features mimicking the final production process. To maximize efficiency during the prototyping phase, we often obtain the final outer dimensions by micro milling the design from the disc”, says Dr. Werner Balika, Manager Core Processes.

Most mastering is kept in-house for rapid customer response and short turn-around time: our digital customizable mastering technology affords a lot of advantages and capabilities like Multi height features. Layer heights between 50 nm and 300µm. Aspect ratios up to 12:1 and Small structure sizes down to 150 nm. “In our business precision mastering is an essential prerequisite. Thanks to our in-house service the best technology and short turnaround time is a true value add for our customers”, says Dr. Adrian Prinz, Development Engineer Mastering.

We provide development and production of smart plastic parts helping the customer to get the best performance and results from the instruments. The experience and knowledge of high volume disc manufacturing in the past is one of our pillars for mass production. Our injection molding equipment is integrated with state-of-the-art robots that carefully handle molded parts, discard sprues and place finished parts on automated conveyors for laser marking, checking and packaging.
