Diamond milled or turned micro grids, not only in optics, but also for functional surfaces.

Whether as dirt repellent surfaces (e.g. self-cleaning effects) or as tribological function surfaces - geometrically structured surfaces are used in many technical fields. Such grid structures for non-optical applications are machined at KUGLER equivalent to optical grids - whether as linear structure on flat surfaces (typically approx. 100mm x 100mm) or on cylinders (up to a length of 1000mm).
Linear V-grooves, lenticular linear structures, cross grids or spiral structures can be realized with a pitch of a few micrometers up to a few 100 micrometers in non-ferrous metals (here above all brass, argentan or nickel). The pictures above show a triple grid and the KUGLER typical diamond milling of a linear grid structure which in contrast to the frequently used impact processing guarantees a higher edge accuracy.
