The Fraunhofer Center for Manufacturing Innovation (CMI) has completed several projects for developing manufacturing processes and automating the assembly of optoelectronic components. Our expertise in this area ranges from the high precision shaping of fiber ends to the development of custom automation equipment for the manufacture of photonic devices. Our systems and equipment are being deployed for use in telecommunications, sensors, and navigational equipment.

 

Project Examples:

The development of automation equipment for:

•  Automated Fiber Preparation

•  Fiber Pigtailing

•  Optical Circuit Assembly

•  Coupler/Polarizer Fabrication

•  Automated Coil Winding

•  Fiber Array Assembly
