Frédérique Berger is at your disposal to carry out all scientific glassblowing projects:
The department recovers unused glassware from laboratories (if it is not soiled by mercury or other toxic products). A room is dedicated to this purpose. Do not hesitate to come and collect your parts.
! The workshop is not equipped to work on workpieces with a diameter greater than 100 mm.
! The workshop does not have (and does not work with): quartz, calibrated tubes or flat glass. However, you can supply quartz tubes, knowing that the diameter worked will be 10 mm max. For the calibrated tube, please send a request to Mrs Berger.
Pour déposer vos demandes de travaux, une permanence est assurée de 14h30 à 16h30 tous les jours. En dehors de ces horaires il est nécessaire de prendre un rendez-vous afin de ne pas interrompre un travail de soufflage en cours.
Examples of parts manufactured in the workshop:
The glass lathe is used to make larger diameter parts, maximum diameter worked = 100mm / maximum length = 600mm.
The annealing furnace (200L), the size of the manufactured parts will not exceed the length of 650 mm x 500 mm.
The diamond wheel, allows to saw the tubes, to shape a broken collar etc...
The handy polariscope helps to determine if the glassware has been annealed, if it has localized heating voltages and helps to prevent accidents.
The mechanical lathe for small metalworking, PTFE...
