| COOPERATIONS Joint venture with the University of Bayreuth As a global leader, FLABEG is continuously striving to progress – and has been working with the University of Bayreuth for years. In an interdisciplinary team combining scientific research and business practice, glass products are manufactured in perfect quality, complete with the very latest features, and the corresponding processing stages are optimized. State-of-the-art research and analysis methods, which make even the tiniest impurities and irregularities in the micrometer and nanometer range transparent, are applied here and benefit the subsequent industrial production process. These reveal ways of sustainably improving product functionality as well as quality even during the manufacture. Both effectively and cost-efficiently. In WOPAG and WOPAG II (“materials, surface technology and process technology for glass”), two publicly-funded joint research projects, the University of Bayreuth and its industrial partners are together exploring new ways of refining glass. FLABEG is playing a major role in shaping this research by managing the consortium in the WOPAG II project. Joint venture with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) The German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Technical Thermodynamics and Solar Research in Cologne, develops precise measuring techniques for analyzing the quality and efficiency of CSP components. This is also where photogrammetry was validated – a technique whereby digital photos are analyzed from different perspectives in order to closely examine the bending precision and the accuracy of the assembly of parabolic trough mirrors. The resulting measurements have practical consequences for us at FLABEG. They are used to drive the already high bending precision of our products toward perfection. Joint venture with the Technical University Munich (TUM) FLABEG delivers components for flight simulators, including special-coated mirror glass for the distortion free projection of the simulated scenery, all over the world. Together with the Institute of Flight System Dynamics at the Technical University Munich (TUM), we develop innovative concepts and revolutionary solutions – ideas that, through the use of simulators, make it feasible to stay on the ground for as long as possible, to save costs. |
