WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITIES<br />
PUTTING IMAGINATION TO WORK<br />
Yesterday, glass was a design element. Today, it’s mission critical technology.<br />
That’s why glass manufacturers use <strong>Leybold</strong> <strong>Optics</strong> to optimise their operations.<br />
Its unsurpassed experience and expertise allow them to respond to new requirements<br />
– fast! Take Apollon systems, for example. They produce functional coatings<br />
on architectural glass in a highly efficient, homogeneous and uncompromising<br />
manner. Shouldn’t you too?<br />
GO GREEN!<br />
The world’s climate is changing. So are attitudes towards energy conservation.<br />
No wonder high-quality glass coatings are in such demand. They save resources.<br />
They save money. And they help ensure well-balanced interior climates – in<br />
winter and summer. As the world goes green, more and more glass specialists go<br />
“<strong>Leybold</strong> <strong>Optics</strong>”. Its inline coating systems optimise thermal insulation values.<br />
And that’s a natural advantage.<br />
MAKING <strong>GLASS</strong> MAKE A DIFFERENCE<br />
A tradition of innovation makes <strong>Leybold</strong> <strong>Optics</strong> one of the most respected<br />
names in the thin-film industry. Its Glass & Solar Division is renowned for<br />
vacuum systems used to manufacture advanced nanotechnology solutions.<br />
<strong>Leybold</strong> <strong>Optics</strong> produces high-performance machinery for coating glass of<br />
every kind. And businesses requiring state-of-the-art deposition systems<br />
turn to <strong>Leybold</strong> <strong>Optics</strong> to help them manufacture the future.<br />

Solar energy is reflected – interior comfort is improved<br />
Limited light transmittance – improves everyone’s “point of view”<br />
Interior heat build-up decreases – A/C energy costs do too<br />
Adjustable colours enhance exterior appearances – and design flexibility<br />

Infrared mirror minimizes U-values – efficiency improves<br />
Heating and cooling systems require less energy – costs decrease<br />
A low shading coefficient combines with high visible light transmittance (high selectivity) –<br />
room comfort is easily maintained<br />
Neutral transmittance ensures authentic views – Look at that!<br />
Multiple Low-E coatings improve living comfort – and savings<br />

<strong>GLASS</strong> TRANSPORT<br />
Entrance Area: Here clear glass substrates<br />
enter the coating-process environment. Step<br />
by step ambient pressure is reduced from<br />
atmospheric pressure to the 10 -3 mbar range.<br />
As the glass moves along, it converts from<br />
a cyclic loading sequence to a continuous<br />
substrate flow.

Process Area: Here individual layers are applied<br />
during the stack sequence. How? By using DC<br />
and AC driven PVD tools (sputtering cathodes).<br />
Various target materials (metals and/or ceramics)<br />
and specific gas atmospheres create the<br />
desired functional coatings (dielectrics, absorbers,<br />
reflectors, conductors, etc.).

Exit Area: Here finished products feed out<br />

ambient pressure rises, processing conditions<br />
gradually convert to atmospheric pressure.<br />
The transport sequence reverts back to a<br />
discontinuous substrate flow.
