Our know-how concentrates mainly around the realization of brazed ceramic-metal and glass-metal pieces as well as of brazed window and viewport.
Ceramic to metal brazed and glass to metal seal are particularly suited for use severe environment as:
PNL INNOTECH has a thorough experience in those various fields that allows the company to address every kind of application in line with it own requirements. These sets ceramic-metal or glass-metal are designed for the following applications as:

The metal associed with ceramic or glass must have a close CTE in order to minimize residual stresses in the joint ,however we can assembly ceramic & glass to metal with different CTE with appropriate design. Metals most commonly used: kovar, copper, titanium, molybdenum, platinum, niobium, steel,stainless steel, tantalum and inconel alloy. The braze alloy or glass to be used will depend upon various parameters : final temperature of use of the product, nature of the metal to be joined, several metals of different kinds to be joined. The following alloys Ag/Cu ,Ag/Cu/Pd , Au/Cu , Au/Ni , Ag ,Au ,Cu are typical and cover a large range of temperature from 780°C to 1080°C. The temperature of work for glass is around 900°C. The metal ceramic bonding requires first an intermediate metal layer on the ceramic to grip and the wettability of the solder
PNL INNOTECH can offer all of these technologies. The choice for one of these will depend upon the assembly design to be manufactured, the conditions of use and the cost requirements.

The hermetic joining of a window or viewport into a metal flange is a real interest for use in extreme conditions or whenever an absolute reliability is requested.
PNL INNOTECH‘s first choice for the assembly of a viewport goes for high temperature brazing so that it has necessary properties to resist to those hostile environment.
PNL INNOTECH has a recognized technology that permits to offer brazed windows to be used into optoelectronics and vision instruments for such high–tech applications as:
Depending upon the operation wavelength of the customer’s device PNL Innotech can offer four standard types of UHV windows or viewport brazed on to metal flange:
Those can be offered with optics standard diameter and CF flanges, please refer to the here after download product datasheet for further information.
