Non-isothermal glass molding
In non-isothermal glass molding, components are manufactured in just one process step. By decoupling the temperature control between preheating, forming and fine cooling, short cycle times are possible. Through non-isothermal glass molding, a high degree of dimensional and surface accuracy of the glass products is achieved in the first process step. Further processing such as grinding and polishing are no longer necessary.

Non-isothermal glass molding achieve new levels of productivity increases. This opens up opportunities for new market segments for our customers for the cost-effective mass production of glass products.

Isothermal precision glass molding
Isothermal precision glass  molding is used in the production of high-precision optics. The semi-finished glass product (e.g. balls, gobs, wafers) is formed between two tool halves. The entire thermal cycle from heating through forming to fine cooling is happening in this process. The components can then be removed according to their final shape with two high-precision functional surfaces.
