Development of a method for warm-soft calibration of the outside diameter of glass tubes with high precision
The projects aims to develop an innovative method of calibration for outer diameters of glass tubes and the depending system plants.
Producing the outer diameter of glass tubes with accuracies of a few micrometers in diameter and concentricity is a very time-consuming process. Depending on the pipe dimension, cold working can take several hours. The research project aims to achieve warm-soft calibration using a CO2 laser beam. The project objective is to achieve a time saving of more than 70% with the newly developed process compared to cold working from grinding and polishing while maintaining the same precision and surface quality.
In the joint project, the subproject "Development of laser processing methods / Calibration process and numerical simulation as well as voltage-optical and geometric evaluation of the calibrated tubes" is being worked on at ifw Jena.
