The service agreement states that Aixtooling GmbH will be offering service and repair services for the European customers of Toshiba Machine Corp. This will utilize Aixtooling employees' many years of experience with Toshiba molding presses. This experience will be extended by means of special training units.
In case of problems or errors in production operations, European customers can inform Aixtooling GmbH as the initial contact using a hotline. Trained employees of the Aachen company will then handle communications with the Japanese machine manufacturer, or coordinate subsequent actions. Depending on the problem, a case-by-case decision can be made whether Japanese technicians are needed on site for the troubleshooting.
The service agreement also includes regular maintenance work on GMP machines that end users cannot or do not want to carry out themselves. Various machine components that experience tells must be rotated out are already available in the Aixtooling warehouse, and can be installed quickly when needed. This procedure provides the users of the precision molding process with significant time savings.

At the Optatec 2010 trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany, a new machine tool technology for the precision molding of optical glass has been presented. Besides the well known ultra precision turning and grinding machines the American machine tool supplier Moore Nanotechnology Systems LLC now offers the first precision glass molding device - called GPM.
The development by Moore can be seen as a milestone for the replicative optics production because now several suppliers commercially offer glass molding machines word-wide.
The concept of the new development follows a modular approach and can be adjusted to the needs of mass production as well as small and medium lot size production. The user is additionally enabled to simulate the glass molding procedure by a Finite Element Method (FEM) package. In detail the machine tool is characterized by the following features:
One of the first molding machines of this type has been installed at the Fraunhofer IPT in Aachen, Germany and will be used for further process development. The mold (system) technology from Aixtooling can be also applied for this new machine tool. For further information please contact either Aixtooling GmbH, Fraunhofer IPT (Dr. Olaf Dambon) or directly Moore Nanotechnology Systems. Links
Schott develops production process for complex lens arrays and high referctive glasses basically for LED illumination purposes.

Aixtooling GmbH will participate the conference Photonics West in San Francisco also in the year 2011.
After the initial participation in January 2010 the management of Aixtooling has decided to participate at the Photonics West 2011 again. The conference will be hold in the Moscone Center from San Francisco from January 22nd-27th 2011. The industry exhibition will starts on January 25th and ends on January 27th.
Aixtooling will be present at the joint the booth of the Federal Republic of Germany "German Pavilion". As soon as further information is availible, you will find it on this website.
"Key technology for the future" is the motto for the two day congress, which is taking place on October 19 and 20, 2010 in Aachen.
The International Colloquium Optics 2010, which takes place every two years, is organized by Fraunhofer IPT. About 20 papers by well-known experts will form the general program around technological innovations, new applications and perspectives in field of optics and photonics. In this context, Aixtooling will be represented by CEO Dr. Thomas Bergs. The agenda is completed by a guided visit to Fraunhofer IPT's shop floor. Aixtooling facilities as part of Fraunhofer IPT's shop floor will also be open to visitors.
The venue is taking place at Pullman Aachen Quellenhof / Aachen Links
