Process development
We have decades of know-how in the various processes of thin and solid glass forming. Our innovative manufacturing processes are based on the latest findings in terms of productivity, quality, and sustainability. In addition to the extensive experience of our employees, we use data-driven methods such as machine learning. We offer holistic solutions from the process analysis of the prototype, the system design, the production of the systems up to the transfer into production.
Process validation on test stands
On our test stands we are able to validate processes in small series. Process validation ensures that the intended quality and productivity goals are achieved. This is where our extensive experience in the various hot forming processes for glass comes into play.
Machine technologies
With our machine and system technology, we offer innovative solutions for optical production. We use isothermal and non-isothermal forming processes.
By using a non-isothermal process control, the glass is tempered in parallel and independently of the molding tools. This significantly reduces the cycle times and number of molding tools. Therefore, the requirements for cost-effective and fast processes for mass production are met.
Vitrum Technologies also offers isothermal processes for high-precision forming.
Machine Learning
In addition to the extensive experience of our employees, we rely on data-driven methods to develop and optimize highly complex forming processes.
Digitalization
We are your partner for digitalization. We combine production with communication and information technology.
Automation
Our experience in digitalization and Industry 4.0 applications complements our know-how in production automation. With our highly qualified workforce, Vitrum Technologies is also a partner for holistic automation solutions for production systems.
Retrofitting
We also use our decades of experience in mechanical and production engineering in the area of glass forming to optimize existing machines and systems as part of retrofitting projects.
Mold tools
Glass forming enables the cost-efficient and scalable production of high-precision optics. The quality of the molding tools is crucial for achieving the highest precision in forming. We are able to produce a broad portfolio of features.
Coating and mold reconditioning
Coating and mold reconditioning strategies can make a major contribution to significantly increasing the service life of molding tools. This results in scaling and cost advantages.
