Custom Wedge Window – Your Solution for Glare & Interference

Core Features + Hobbite Tech Advantages

• No More Interference Fringes: The wedge angle (usually 0.5°-5°) breaks up reflected light from front/back surfaces, eliminating “rainbow” interference fringes. Hobbite controls wedge angle tolerance to ±0.05°—3x stricter than industry standard.
• High Transmittance, Low Glare: Made of high-purity glass/crystal, bare transmittance ≥92%. We add a custom AR coating (anti-reflective) for your target wavelength—transmittance increases to ≥97%, and glare is reduced by 80%.
• Tough for Any Environment: Resists high temps (-40℃~+150℃) and corrosion. Hobbite uses ultra-polishing (Ra≤0.5nm) + edge chamfering—no cracks, even in vibrating industrial setups.
• 100% Customizable: Size, wedge angle, material, coating—we tailor it all. From 5mm mini windows to 100mm large panels, we support 200nm-12μm full-band needs.

Key Applications (Solve Your Pain Points)

Industrial Inspection & Machine Vision

• Pain Point: Regular flat windows cause interference fringes, making the camera miss tiny flaws (like chip scratches, glass cracks).
• Solution: Hobbite’s wedge window eliminates fringes, letting machine vision cameras “see clearly”. We customize 0.5° wedge angle for 400-700nm visible light—perfect for PCB/automotive part inspection.
• Use Cases: Machine vision systems, defect detectors, 3D scanners.

Laser Systems & Laser Processing

• Pain Point: Laser beams reflect off flat windows, creating stray light that damages lasers or blurs cuts.
• Solution: Hobbite’s wedge window tilts reflected light away from the laser source. Quartz material options (laser damage threshold ≥30J/cm² @1064nm) fit laser cutting/welding machines.
• Use Cases: Fiber lasers, laser markers, laser welding equipment.

Scientific Instruments (Microscopes/Spectrometers)

• Pain Point: Microscopes/spectrometers need distortion-free light—interference ruins data accuracy.
• Solution: High-precision wedge windows from Hobbite (wedge angle tolerance ±0.02°). Sapphire material for UV (200-400nm) fits fluorescence microscopes; CaF₂ for IR (3-12μm) fits spectrometers.
• Use Cases: Fluorescence microscopes, Raman spectrometers, interferometers.

Medical & Imaging Devices

• Pain Point: Medical endoscopes/CT scanners have small windows—glare distorts internal tissue images.
• Solution: Hobbite’s mini wedge windows (5mm×5mm, 1° wedge angle) with anti-fog coating. Transmittance ≥96% @650nm—doctors see clear organ details, no glare.
• Use Cases: Endoscopes, medical imaging systems, dental scanners.

How to Choose the Right Wedge Window? (Hobbit’s Guide)

Step 1: Pick Material by Wavelength

• Visible light (machine vision, 400-700nm): BK7 (cost-effective, Hobbite’s bestseller).
• Laser/UV (200-400nm): Quartz (resists UV/laser damage—our specialty).
• Infrared (3-12μm, spectrometers): Germanium/CaF₂ (custom for 1310/1550nm comm bands).

Step 2: Choose Wedge Angle by Need

• Light interference (inspection/microscopes): 0.5°-1° (small angle, no distortion).
• Stray light (lasers): 2°-5° (tilts reflections far away).
• Pro Tip: Tell us your system’s light path—Hobbite’s engineers recommend the perfect angle for free!

Step 3: Match Size to Your Device

• Compact devices (endoscopes, mini sensors): 5mm-15mm (0.5mm ultra-thin available).
• Industrial machines (lasers, scanners): 20mm-100mm (with reinforced edges).

Step 4: Add Coating for Better Performance

• Low glare: AR coating (we test with a spectrometer, provide a report).
• Wet/medical use: Anti-fog coating (waterproof, sterilizable).
• Rough environments: Anti-scratch coating (pencil hardness ≥2H).
