Glass Slimming

Glass Slimming is a process to reduce the thickness and weight of glass substrates for use in optical components and displays. Bristol’s non-contact thickness gauges are used worldwide to measure these substrates in real-time with sub-micron accuracies.

  • Non-contact technique means no damage or deformation
  • Real-time results for fast testing throughput during the slimming process
  • Ability to measure substrates from 12 µm to 80 mm thickness with high accuracy (± 0.1 µm) and excellent repeatability (± 0.02 µm)
  • Included Opti-Cal ™ software offers a QC Mode which provides easy to understand PASS/FAIL measurements based on your design criteria
