We provide machined components in BK7, borosilicate glass, fused silica, Calcium Flouride and other types of optical glass to a number of sectors and applications, most commonly for astronomy, metrology, pharmaceutical and diagnostics solutions.
Our ultrasonic 5-axis milling capability and our experienced team can machine down to ∅0.5 mm to create complex features in these optical glasses. We are consistently growing in this field as we provide high quality glass products with significantly shorter lead-time and greater flexibility than our competition.
In most cases when something needs to be bolted on to a glass or glass ceramic, part glued threaded inserts is the preferred choice. However in cases when thermal stress or other conditions presents obvious risks of a catastrophic failure other solutions are needed. One of our partner companies had such a requirement and turned to us to have the problem solved. The Microbas team spent some time with trials and worked out a capable process that could be applied at the end of a process chain of grinding, lapping and machining to get the fixing points in the right spots. The result was a structural part with 12 M5 treads machined directly into the glass and it is a good example of our capabilities to provide complex glass machining.
Microbas produces precision components and systems in exotic materials and metals, customised in terms of shape, material, dimensions and tolerance. We work with lapping, grinding, milling, drilling and CNC machining, as well as programming in CAD/CAM.
Microbas processes a large variety of materials with different properties. Originating from the metrologyindustry we have established a unique experience in how to acheive maximum accuracy and dimensionstability in each material we work with.
