cericom GmbH

Wherever horizontal alignment of the glass is not required, this system provides you with a powerful laser machine for glass processing.

As the glass panels do not have to be laid horizontally anymore, they can easily be placed on the machine, which makes the whole handling process a lot easier. This means that even door-sized glass formats can be set up on the c-vertica by a single employee.

The glass panels stand on the machine with a 6° inclination and thanks to the use of soft rollers or support elements they are well protected from scratches and other potential damages.

We manufacture the c-vertica systems in various sizes and expansion stages. Upon request, we will gladly send you a non-binding offer with technical data and prices.

APPLICATION

ADVANTAGES

• Automatic feeding of the discs without physical effort
• The machine can continue to work independently after work and at weekends

LASER ANTI-SLIP: TRANSPARENCY AND HIGH RESISTANCE

The anti-slip laser structuring creates small indentations on all glass surfaces that can be walked on (even with a post-treatment on toughened safety glass). They create a suction effect that prevents slipping when wet, making it a safer option for public areas.

Unlike printed structures, which disappear after a few months, cericom's slip resistance leaves 90% of the glass surface untouched and develops its effect through vacuum. The small depressions are not subject to any significant abrasion and the surface remains easy to clean. The Wismar Materials Testing Institute has certified the slip-resistant glass surfaces produced with cericom laser machines with "R9" and "R10".

The machine underframe is made of heavy steel constructions with milled guideways.

We offer the machine table in closed or open constructions, depending on the main application. Wherever glass has to be processed in a horizontal orientation this is the ideal solution. The c-matrix system can be supplied as a hybrid or single laser version.

You can therefore either engrave the sub-surface with a solid laser, process the surface using a CO² laser or, if you have the hybrid system, you can carry out both applications on one and the same machine thanks to the provision of 2 laser beam sources.

We produce the c-matrix system in various sizes and configurations. We would be pleased to send you a non-binding offer with technical details and prices.

A particular adapter plate enables simple and flexible integration of the lasermarking module into the existing system technology and facilitates maintenance and replacement. The rotatable laser scan head enables variable exit of the laser beam, so that processing can also be carried out can also be carried out simply “overhead”, for example.

It can be used wherever high quality markings are required or copyright is an issue for example, in the marking of safety glass, in the automotive industry, in medical technology or for jewelry and perfumes. c-mark enables easy integration into existing plants and machines and is also available as an alternative “stand-alone solution”.

This machine enables high precision cutting and drilling of glass within a processing area of 100 x 100 mm2 along arbitrary 2D or 3D curves (based on drawings). Now, it is not only possible to cut materials with thicknesses of 20 mm and more but also to drill holes with diameters down to 200 µm and achieve aspect ratios larger than 1:25. The drilling and cutting and milling processes are completely “dry“. Therefore the laser processes do neither require any water nor the accompanying water recycling systems.

A very narrow kerf width combined with high accuracy and resolution enables cuts that are currently not possible with any conventional glass processing technology. For the first time, the laser-based process used in the c-cut machine enables an effective way for laser milling of glass. For example, countersunk holes, tapered holes and other virtually arbitrary 3D structures can be milled into the glass surface with ease and precision.

APPLICATIONS

• Microelectronics
• Sensors
• Microfluidics

ADVANTAGES

• “Dry” process
• High hole aspect ratio
• Small processing features > 0.2 mm
• High precision and standard versions
• Integration in production lines

ceribird makes glass visible to birds saving them from fatal collisions with glass.

Can be realised with the cerilas or ceri3D system on the machines.

FULL FLEXIBILITY

ceribird can be used on float, laminated and tempered glass, as well as in combination with insulating glass, low-e and sun protection coatings. The ceribird laser process is approved for toughened glass - even after tempering. And you are free to decide where to place ceribird in your production process.

FULL IMPACT

ceribird is weather and UV resistant and offers the best protection on the outside (POS1) of the glass against bird collisions caused by reflections or transparency.

FULL LIGHT

ceribird is translucent and therefore less disturbing when looking out of the window.

FULL DURABILITY

ceribird is not a coating that fades or dissolves over time - ceribird is laser-textured glass, making it as durable as the glass itself.

FULL ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

There are no lacquers, inks, chemicals or complex intermediate steps required in the production of ceribird. The ceribird structure is created directly on the glass surface with the laser beam. The production process is resource efficient and clean.

FULL CREATIVITY

Create your own bird protection designs and use the cericom laser process for other design tasks. Texts, logos, photos or decors can be transferred directly onto the glass surface - with freely adjustable contrast, in grayscale and in any size and shape. Even certified anti-slip glass surfaces for stairs and glass floors can be produced with the cericom laser.

FULL ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY

ceribird means minimal production costs, with no energy-intensive tempering or baking processes, no pre-washing of the glass, and no need to purchase consumables. And once installed, ceribird is as easy to clean as ordinary window glass.

All‘s well that ends well

We think of the entire cycle: ceribird glass is fully recyclable and a sustainable product, as no paints, inks, films or varnishes are used for ceribird - glass becomes glass again - and best of all: ceribird!

For a new bird-friendly future.

Small dents are made on the glass surface with a fine pattern that can only be seen with the naked eye at a very close range. When stepping on these dents, a suction effect is created, which prevents slipping when the glass is wet.

Normal printed structures disappear due to abrasion after only a few months and are also hard to clean. The cericom anti-slip, on the other hand, leaves 90% of the glass surface intact and develops its anti-slip effect with vacuum. Therefore, the small dents hardly suffer any abrasion, and the surface remains easy to clean.

The Material Testing Institute of Wismar has certified the slip-resistant glass surfaces from cericom with the grades R9 and R10. The cericom anti-slip is characterized by its transparency and high durability.

What sets our method apart is that the user no longer needs to purchase specialized glass. They can simply keep their standard glass in stock and effortlessly transform it into walkable glass, making it an environmentally friendly choice. With our innovative approach, there's no need to invest in costly new materials or disposal of existing glass. This not only saves money but also reduces the environmental impact associated with glass production and disposal.

Our system can be seamlessly integrated into various machinery, including the cerilas or cericut systems, and the c-vertica, c-cut, and c-matrix machines. This flexibility makes it easy for users to incorporate our anti-slip solution into their existing processes, ensuring a smooth transition to enhanced safety and functionality without the need for extensive modifications or expensive replacements.

High-contrast elements make it clear that there is an obstacle in the way, even with impaired vision.

Classically, information or patterns are printed. Here, too, laser technology shows its advantages and enables the simple and cost-effective production of glass elements that make life easier for many people.
