SABIC presenta all’NPE 2018 il primo esempio riuscito di micro-stampaggio della lente di un sensore ottico IR, utilizzando la resina ad alte prestazioni EXTEM™

Esempio di un sensore di prossimità con lente emittente di IR e con lente separata per proiettare il segnale ricevuto al sensore (entrambe le lenti in resina EXTEM™)ORLANDO, FLORIDA, 11 maggio 2018 - SABIC, un leader globale nel settore chimico ha presentato oggi, all’NPE 2018, Stand S19001, un’importante innovazione nella produzione di lenti di sensori ottici a infrarossi (IR) per la rilevazione di prossimità ed il riconoscimento gestuale negli smartphone e in altre applicazioni elettroniche, utilizzando la sua resina di poliimmide termoplastica (TPI) EXTEM™. SOPROD SA, un’azienda di stampaggio svizzera, ha selezionato questo materiale SABIC ad alte prestazioni, che offre trasparenza agli IR, per la produzione in grandi volumi di lenti per sensori, tramite micro-stampaggio a impronte multiple. Lo stampaggio efficiente, in grandi volumi, della resina EXTEM™ può fornire molti vantaggi, sia rispetto alla molatura e lucidatura di vetro al quarzo, sia rispetto alla reticolazione di resine epossidiche. Questi vantaggi possono comprendere la velocità, la costanza di alta qualità e l’eliminazione di costosi trattamenti secondari. Il risultato ottenuto da SOPROD offre al settore elettronico una nuova ed efficientissima soluzione per soddisfare la rapida crescita della domanda di sensori ottici IR.
