"Schwabe" created a single complex for the production of phosphate glass

Holding "Schwabe", included in the State Corporation Rostec created a range of equipment and technology for industrial production of large workpieces phosphate glass laser active elements of laser systems.The innovative range of equipment and industrial technology of cooking large workpieces of laser phosphate glass were created holding enterprises "Schwabe" - JSC "Lytkarino Optical Glass Factory" - in record time - 4 years.

The uniqueness of the invention is to combine the two-stage production technology of laser phosphate glass in one of the glass installation consisting of two electric furnaces - top with ceramic pots and bottom with a platinum crucible.

"Until now, in Russia the production of laser phosphate glass was carried out by two-stage technology on individual units of glass. This led to large losses of expensive raw materials, time and labor. The solution proposed by our experts, significantly optimizes costs in the production of large active elements for high power laser systems, "- said General Director of LZOS Alex Patrickeyev.

In addition to the unique glassmaking site staff LZOS also developed a new composition of the phosphate glass laser with improved processing properties - now a low-melting glass.

By the end of 2014 the company's employees, create a set of equipment and technology for our cooking large workpieces of laser phosphate glass, was awarded a scholarship of LZOS for outstanding achievements in the development of breakthrough technologies.
