Brazing

In many cases, high-tech materials need to undergo heat treatment in order to meet quality standards. High vacuum brazing furnaces enable ultra-clean, high-purity joints between dissimilar materials like glass and steel in X-ray tube components—essential for advanced medical applications such as endoscopy.

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy

Non-destructive acoustic microscopy makes subsurface structures visible without pretreatment such as dyeing, drying, or embedding living cells. It provides non-invasive insight into samples and supports maximum reliability and quality. Our systems are used to inspect implants, bones, tissue, cells, thrombus formation, and teeth.

Diffusion Bonding

Diffusion bonding with pure starting materials is ideal in the life sciences sector because it preserves the purity, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility of critical components. This directly contributes to safer, more reliable, and regulatory-compliant medical devices, ranging from implants like pacemakers to surgical and diagnostic tools.
