Precision Glass & Quartz
Precision diamond tooling and abrasive solutions for cutting, grinding, lapping and polishing quartz, fused silica, optical glass and other high-value glass materials.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
HANS provides precision diamond and superabrasive solutions for processing quartz, fused silica, optical glass and specialty glass components. Our tools support precision cutting, sectioning, edge grinding, drilling, lapping and polishing of glass rods, tubes, wafers, plates and complex precision components used in optical, semiconductor, laboratory and industrial applications.
KEY CHALLENGES
Precision glass and quartz are hard and brittle materials that require controlled processing to minimize chipping, cracking, scratches and subsurface damage. High-value components also require low material loss, accurate geometry and progressive surface finishing from cutting through fine polishing.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
Recommended solutions include continuous and segmented diamond wire loops for low-force precision sectioning, thin diamond saw blades for glass and quartz cutting, diamond grinding wheels for edge preparation, diamond drills for holes and complex features, and diamond, silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and cerium oxide lapping and polishing abrasives for progressive surface finishing.
KEY BENEFITS
Reduced chipping and material loss, controlled cutting and grinding, accurate component geometry, consistent surface preparation and flexible progression from coarse material removal to fine polishing. Custom diamond wire, grit, dimensions and abrasive formats are available for specialized glass and quartz processing.
