Intelligent HMI solutions – Made in Germany

We develop and manufacture custom HMI assemblies – from cover glass and PCAP touch and touch lamination through to optical bonding, mechanics and full integration including electronics and interfaces. All critical process steps are carried out reproducibly and fully documented in Germany.

Our dynamic engineering team stands for fast implementation, tailored solutions and a deep understanding of the requirements of modern HMI systems – whether in industrial automation, medical technology, defence, automotive or outdoor applications.

Building blocks for high-end HMIs

Modular in structure yet fully integrable: from the glass/touch front via optical bonding to a ready-to-install unit including mechanics and electronics.

Optical Bonding (OCR / OCA)

Optical bonding permanently links display and cover glass – for maximum readability, reduced reflections and a robust, long-lived assembly. Depending on the application we use OCR or OCA and control the entire process (preparation, bonding, curing, inspection) under controlled conditions.

  • Bubble-free through vacuum and cleanroom processes
  • OCR up to 86″ · OCA up to 31.5″

Optical bonding – maximum optical and mechanical performance

In modern HMI systems, optical bonding is a key quality factor: by bonding the display to the front glass (or touch), you get an optically, mechanically and functionally optimised module – free of air gaps, low reflection and highly robust.

OCR · Optically Clear Resin

OCR (Optically Clear Resin)

Our OCR process uses a liquid, transparent silicone material that is applied between display and front unit and then thermally cured. The 2-part silicones we use have been developed specifically for display applications – with outstanding optical clarity, flexibility and long-term stability.

Advantages of the OCR process:

  • Excellent optical performance – even in sunlight and at oblique viewing angles
  • Very good damping of vibration and mechanical shocks
  • No yellowing – even under UV and thermal stress
  • Reworkable (display can be replaced)
  • Permanently elastic – extremely low stress, even with temperature changes
  • Water-repellent – can be used in environments with high humidity
  • Thanks to its low-viscosity, self-levelling properties the silicone perfectly conforms to complex surfaces – effectively preventing bubbles and inclusions.

Highly flexible in use:

  • Curved displays possible
  • Two displays on one cover glass can be realised
  • Round or free-form displays are easily implemented
  • Size range: from 5″ to 86″
OCA · Optically Clear Adhesive

OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive)

Here we use highly transparent adhesive films which are laminated between display and glass/touch unit in vacuum processes without air inclusions. The result is a permanently bonded, optically high-grade and very flat stack-up.

Advantages of the OCA process:

  • Very thin stack-up
  • High optical purity
  • Very efficient for flat displays and medium volumes
  • Size range: from 5″ to 31.5″

Touch lamination – precise bonding of cover glass and touch sensor

Touch lamination permanently and precisely bonds projected capacitive touch sensors (PCAP) with the custom cover glass – optionally complemented by functional films. The process is carried out in our ISO 7 cleanroom followed by autoclaving.

Cleanroom production to ISO standards

For optical bonding and touch lamination even smallest particles lead to visible defects. That’s why all key processes are carried out entirely in our own ISO 7 cleanroom – from first handling to finished assembly.

ISO 14644-1 Class 7 250 m² cleanroom area + separate material and personnel airlocks
H14 FFU & displacement flow Filtration of finest particles for bubble-free bonding
Pressure cascade Targeted airflow prevents particles entering sensitive zones
Climate control Stable conditions (approx. 20–21 °C · 45–55% RH)
ESD protection Dissipative floor protects sensitive electronics
Process reliability Reproducible quality – even for special formats and small series

Proven in demanding environments

For systems that must perform reliably under challenging light, temperature, vibration or quality requirements.

Let’s talk about your HMI assembly

Whether prototype, small series or volume production – we evaluate stack-up, process choice (OCR/OCA/lamination) and feasibility and deliver a robust, optically clean solution.

We support you already in the early concept phase – from the selection of suitable display and touch technologies through the definition of the optimal bonding stack-up to transfer into series.

In doing so we take into account not only optical quality but also environmental conditions, lifetime, service concepts and economic aspects across the entire product life cycle.
