The future of cameras, sensors, measuring equipment and other opto-electronic systems belongs to plastic optical lenses. The Nuremberg-based company UPT Optik Wodak GmbH has specialised in the development and manufacturing of these innovative optical components. After injection moulding, tempering is done in a Memmert cleanroom drying oven UFP 800 to increase form stability.
Over the last years, lower weight, miniaturisation, high resistance to breaking and the possibility to manufacture individual, complex forms in large quantities at competitive prices lead to plastics increasingly replacing glass in the manufacture of optics. While glass must be molten, burned and su
