Optical components - Import export

Optics are rarely standalone components. They frequently need a casing, a carrier or even complex integration into a system. This is the exact specialty of our Mechanical Engineering department. We put our mechanical production skills in the service of optomechanical and even purely mechanical customer applications. We manufacture nonferrous metal, noncorroding machininggrade steel and plastic components and produce highprecision mechanical subassemblies as well as unmounted turned and milled parts in small and medium quantities. CNCmanufacturing of turning and milled parts CNCmanufacturing with driven tools CNCMilling machine with 3 and 5axis also in single and small series production Prototypes (max. turning diameter up to 60 mm and milled parts 500 x 400 x 100 mm)

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

Coating substrates is one of our core competences. We have been coating precision optic components with optically effective layers ever since 1948. Over the years, technical specifications and possibilities have radically changed. We now have several highvacuum plants, an ultrasound cleaning and drying plant at our disposal to treat the substrates. We also build our own equipment e.g. for asymmetrical prisms. Coated substrates are inspected and documented with a "Lambda 900" PE spectral photometer. Antireflection coatings

NanoSolder actively aligns optical components such as photonic circuits, waveguides, diode lasers and photodiodes. It uses selective laser soldering for the assembly. Compared to gluing with subsequent curing, much shorter assembly times will be achieved by selective laser soldering.
