From quality assurance of finished glass products to real-time monitoring of coating processes, spectroscopy plays a vital role in glass manufacturing. Leading manufacturers leverage Avantes solutions to verify optical blocking at specific wavelengths, detect argon gas in multi-pane windows, and ensure accurate coating applications. Whether it’s assessing finished goods or monitoring ion beam sputtering processes inline, Avantes spectrometers deliver reliable and precise measurements.
A leading manufacturing company has successfully integrated our UV/VIS and NIR spectrometer series into their production lines to perform real-time, on-line coating thickness measurements. By using our fiber optic spectroscopy solutions, they can monitor and control coating processes with high precision across a diverse range of applications in the medical, food packaging, and aerospace industries.
Thanks to the flexibility and high-speed data acquisition of our UV/VIS and NIR spectrometers, this company has improved production efficiency, minimized material waste, and enhanced overall product quality—demonstrating the power of spectroscopy in modern industrial process control.
A precision optics and thin-film coating company turned to Avantes seeking a reliable solution for real-time monitoring in-chamber
Their goal: To automate and monitor their coating process, helping to reduce failures and needs for costly reworks)
Using our spectrometers, fibers, and light sources to develop a transmission/reflection based process monitoring solution, the company implemented in-situ monitoring of witness samples placed inside the chamber. As the thin films were deposited, the spectrometer collected real-time spectral data, allowing operators to:
