Precision Glass & Optics Provides Precision Cutting/Scribing on Thin Flat Glass
Santa Ana, CA - Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O® -www.pgo.com), global experts in optical manufacturing, glass fabrication, and precision thin film coatings, offers precision glass cutting and scribing on thin flat substrates up to 24" x 24" (600 mm x 600 mm). Utilizing equipment from TLC International (Phoenix, AZ - www.tlcinternational.com), manufacturers of high-accuracy mechanical glass cutting/scribing equipment, PG&O uses the Gen-3 TLC Phoenix-600® machines to provide highly technical, precision cuts on glass substrates.
PG&O's TLC machine provides close-tolerance singulation of thin (0.002" - 0.125" / 0.075 mm - 3.000 mm) flat technical glass substrates, with repeatable accuracies of ±.002"/±.0508 mm for rectilinear (X-Y) and ±.003"/±.0762 mm for circular or free-form shaped parts - single sheet or laminate - using carbide and diamond wheels. Laminated glass parts can also be processed, making this high-precision glass scribing capability ideal for a variety of commercial, biomedical, and military applications, such as avionics, aerospace, automotive, digital X-ray, entertainment lighting, satellites, consumer electronic displays, and more.
Specialized glass cutting capabilities are essential in a wide variety of microelectronic applications. In other tasks that require thinner, lighter, and stronger thin-flat glass, such as cover glass, touch screens, electrochromic mirrors, and other information displays, PG&O provides scribing on flat glass surfaces that are also coated with various optical coatings.
