Matching processing techniques to your requirements
LouwersHanique provides expert advice to our customers on the right type of material from aluminium oxide to silicon carbide, Macor®, borosilicate glass, soda lime and quartz. Always keeping your application and associated specific requirements in mind. Depending on the requirements and the desired surface roughness an optimum balance of precision CNC and polishing technologies is chosen. For more exact finishes, we rely on precise mechanical machining techniques such as micro-sandblasting, tribofinishing, micro-surface and etching technologies.
Engineered to the tightest tolerances
At LouwersHanique we can meet the highest requirements when it comes to desired tolerances. We consistently measure and collect data during the manufacturing process (Q in process) rather than solely measuring and monitoring quality at the end of production. All of this is done, to ensure World Class Manufacturing processes that can run 24/7. This is crucial for many of the products we manufacture, including end effectors for wafer handling, wafer carriers and electron beam column components.
