Optical Filters

Finest quality surface polishing is vital in plane optic production. At Befort, this has top priority from production all the way to final inspection. Thanks to sophisticated CNC technology, we are able to produce single planeoptic components as well as multifunctional systems. We process optical glass, filter glass, quartz glass and float glass up to a size of 600 mm diameter. We make filters, groundglass screens, plane mirrors, windows with a plane parallel surface contour and realize customized solutions for specific applications. In our test laboratory we measure machined surfaces with an interferometer to be able to guarantee top optical quality! No lens element leaves our factory before it meets the exact specifications and requirements of the customer

Sapphire is an incredibly hard crystal (HK1370kg/mm2), second only to diamond. Fluoresence free sapphire windows have high mechanical strength, thermal and chemical resistance and is scratch resistant, making it very desirable for operating in harsh conditions. Sapphire windows can be made thinner than alternative crystals thanks to its structural integrity and can operate up to 2030⁰C. The material transmits between the UV and IR at 0.15-5.5µm, and has a high refractive index of 1.75.. Knight Optical supply a range of quality Sapphire optical components including Fluoresence free sapphire windows, Sapphire lenses, Sapphire prisms, and Sapphire blanks either from stock or bespoke custom made to your specification for a range of applications.  Our current range includes Random Polarization Sapphire that can be used for most applications apart from UV use.

Precision alignment and process technology for the assembly of small products down to micrometer accuracy. CTO technology for assembling small products in a clean room environment - where precision is the key. Modular workstations can be used as standalone operating platforms, integrated into semi-automated platforms, or scaled up for fully automated production lines producing up to 10m products/year.

Differentiation between ANSI and DIN / EN ANSI eyeglass blinds differ from DIN / EN eyeglass blinds in terms of pressure levels, sealing strips and materials. In German-speaking countries, glasses blind disks are also called blind disks or throttle disks. However, the English terms “spectacle blind”, “blind paddle” are also often used in Germany. Pressure ratings according to ANSI in lbs The following pressure levels for blind disks according to ANSI are available 150, 300, 600, 900 and 1500 lbs. Sealing strips The following forms of sealing strips are available: SMF, FF, RF and RTJ. Materials The steel materials A 516 GR 60 and A 516 GR 70 are available. In the stainless steel sector, the materials TP 304 / L, TP 316 / L and TP 312 are possible.
