Micro-Assembly and System Integration

AIT Engineer at Fraunhofer IOF

Jena, Germany

About

The Institute has extensive expertise in the development of technologies for the hybrid integration of various components with high precision for the construction of complex optomechanical and opto-electronical micro- and macro-systems.

This encompasses all assembly sub-processes from cleaning and preparation of components, handling, positioning and aligning to the joining and system integration technologies: adhesive bonding, laser-based soldering, inter-layer free bonding, laser-based splicing, and mechanical clamping.

The competence of Fraunhofer IOF covers the complete process chain from design and simulation to the prototype of the photonic system. Our assembly and integration techniques address optical systems for harsh environmental and vacuum conditions in aero-space applications. The performance of components and assembled systems is characterized for various load cases by comprehensive optical and mechanical measurement equipment.
