Abrisa Technologies Now Provides Engineered OEM Glass for Tubing Applications



Abrisa Technologies is pleased to announce that they can now provide ultra precision heat and vacuum shrinking of glass and quartz tubing via our partner company, Wilmad LabGlass.

According to Jim Veler, President and CEO for Abrisa Technologies, "This new partnership will allow us to services our current customer base as well as new potential customers with tubing of various diameters up to 6 inches can be shrunk to I.D. tolerances of up to ±0.0002 inch on precision stainless steel and molybdenum mandrels. Capabilities will include both vertical and horizontal shrinking for precise product control over virtually any size tube in lengths up to 144" can be manufactured. Our team's skilled fabricators can process a wide assortment of raw materials in a variety of combinations to produce high precision components.

Examples of Our Custom OEM Glassware Fabrication and Machining:

Precision Bore Shrinking
Glass & Quartz Components
Glass Lathe Fabrication
Precision grinding & Polishing
Precision Cutting & Special End Finishing
Precision Glass Envelopes & Bulbs
Custom Glass & Quartz Fabrication
Glass to Metal Seal
Square & Rectangular Tubing
Quartz Torches & Furnace Tubes
