OPTA X 300 Detail
With the OPTA X platform, VON ARDENNE offers an industrial coating solution for sophisticated optical filters, dielectric mirrors and metallic alternating layer systems of the highest precision on a wide range of substrate sizes and geometries. The initial focus was on optical components up to 200 mm in diameter.

In order to meet the demand for precision optical coatings for larger components, such as those required in the areas of consumer electronics (AR/VR/XR), automotive (HUD, interior/display glass) or semiconductors (wafer level optics), VON ARDENNE now offers the OPTA X with an extended coating width of 300 mm.

The advanced process technology of the OPTA X enables extremely precise coating thicknesses to be achieved, typically with less than plus/minus 0.25 % deviation. Another special feature is that interference optical coatings deposited with this accuracy can be applied simultaneously to the front and back of the optical component, which significantly reduces production time.

Equipped with an optical monitoring system for in-situ process monitoring and quality control as well as comprehensive software control and automation for continuous component placement, the OPTA X can be optimally integrated into industrial production processes.

At the booth at the Optatec 2024, the company will also be providing visitors with comprehensive information on other vacuum coating solutions for applications ranging from micro-optics to large telescopes.
