Experts for the optics of tomorrow

The highest precision, the need for ever smaller optics and the demand for sustainable materials – our experts understand the requirements of tomorrow’s optical systems. Whether used in space telescopes or in endoscopy, every optical application comes with its own unique challenges. A wide variety of materials, geometries and tolerances require not only an individual approach to manufacturing, but also an extensive range of machinery.

Fortunately, with the OptoTech, Pulsar Photonics and AIXEMTEC brands under one roof, we are ideally positioned to provide innovative manufacturing, machining and high-precision assembly solutions for optical systems from a single source.

System solutions for optical machines, laser micromachining and photonic automation

Whether you want to process ophthalmic lenses, laser optics or camera optics – our specialists at OptoTech offer one of the most comprehensive product ranges for optical manufacturing, covering the entire production line from grinding to measuring and coating. In the field of laser micromachining, Pulsar Photonics expands the portfolio with high-precision systems based on short and ultra-short pulse laser technology. For automated assembly, active alignment and end-of-line testing of photonic components and systems, AIXEMTEC complements the Schunk Group with modular automation platforms engineered for optical manufacturing. AIXEMTEC enables sub-micron positioning and scalable production concepts – from R&D and pilot lines to fully automated high-volume manufacturing. Together, we provide end-to-end solutions across the optical and photonic value chain – from material processing to precision assembly and functional test.
