Technical Resources
The most important resources of Bartels microEngineering are of course our developers' creativity and competence. But brilliant ideas cannot be transformed into reality without the right technical equipment.
Bartels microEngineering can rely on an inventory of high technology tools, machines and instruments in every step of each development process.
Lasers
Lasers play a major role in the structuring and processing of plastics in micro dimensions. Bartels uses lasers of three different types :
- two excimerlasers (wavelength 248 and 193 nm) for precise micro structuring of plastics by ablation
- fiber laser for welding
- Nd:YAG laser for marking and welding
Laser-Jobshop
Bartels microEngineering also utilizes these higher-than-average laser resources in processing jobs for customers - learn about the general possibilities in our Laser-Jobshop Infosheet or contact us to discuss your requirements.
Processing and Assembly
The mechanical and thermic processing of plastics, adhesive technologies and joining techniques as well as various kinds of coatings only represent a small sample of the manifold challenges in the steps of processing and assembly within micro systems technology. But Bartels microEngineering is well equipped to meet these challenges, for example with:
- circuit board plotter used for in-house-prototyping of plastic structures or conductor boards
- ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) bonding system and wafer prober for contacting
- bonding press, adhesives dispenser and pick-and-place-assembly
- vacuum furnace
- spincoater and dip-coating
- plasma system to clean, activate and coat substrates
- ultra- and megasonic cleaning baths
- 3-axis milling machine for mechanical processing
Measurement and Testing Equipment
In order to be always be informed about the exact quality and condition of all parts and materials processed, Bartels microEngineering works with several measuring and test systems, e. g.:
- non-contact 3-D measuring system for exact contour and topography analysis
- automated microscopes for structure analysis and photo documentation
- high speed video camera for detailled analyses of dynamic processes
- UV/Vis spectrometer for absorption amd transmission measurement
- scanning vibrometer for non-contact vibration measurement
- mobile color measurement system for identification of color values or to test for example a dye's stability
- contact angle measuring device for the measurement of surface tension
- universal system for tensile, compression and bending tests
- conditioning cabinet for alternating climate tests (temperature and humidity)
- analyzer for identification of particle sizes and allocation
- further fluidic test stands
