Insert over-molding of coated glass
• new and patented system by PENTACON
• high pressure
• technology requires high precision in form making and injection molding
MEHR ALS DIE SUMME ALLER TEILE
What is the new approach?
• insert over-molding of glass surfaces is not new in the plastics industry
• the over-molding of coated glass has not been possible yet
• high pressure and high temperatures ususally lead to cracks and fractures in
the glass blank
MEHR ALS DIE SUMME ALLER TEILE
Procedure
The glass blank is inserted and
fixed into the form.
The glass edge is sealed under
high pressure inside of the
form.
The plastic is injectied into the
form.

Advantages
• this new approach will enhance the possible options to use glass
• assembly of complex units not neccessary since the finale part is produced
in a single step
• additional cost reduction while using alternatives and cheaper materials
MEHR ALS DIE SUMME ALLER TEILE
Advantages
• glass edge is protected and already the over-molded plastic edge may
feature various elements (threads, snappers, etc.)
• glass planes may be connected and sealed simultaneously with additional
plastic parts
• procedure may be used with all common types of plastic including high-tech
materials

Cost savings shown with a common photo filter
common photo filters consist of a rim, glass and an internal rim
1. rim is turned with inner and outer threads and made of
Aluminum or brass
2. rim is hardend
3. internal rim with outer thread made of Aluminum or brass
4. internal rim is hardend
5. glass is inserted
6. all three components are assembled into one unit

new approach
• form,
• internal thread,
• outer thread,
• surface and
• glass
are produced in a single step

Additional scopes of field
• medical technology (tubes, etc.)
• sight glasses
• technical glasses
• optical filters
• displays, touch panels, pressure gauges

Technical parameters
• currently we process glass with
– 10 x 10 mm up to 250 x 250 mm
– thickness from 1 to 10 mm
– compensation of the thickness tolerance ± 0,20 mm
• the glass blank is put under pressure of 1,500 bar and 400° C
