Calibration Templates

High-precision reference geometries for the reliable calibration and validation of industrial manufacturing processes.

In high-precision manufacturing processes, even the smallest dimensional deviations determine the quality of the final product. Calibration templates from KMLT® support the inspection, calibration, and validation of sophisticated manufacturing and testing systems. With our expertise in laser micromachining, we produce custom templates for applications where dimensional accuracy and repeatability are critical.

Precision for Demanding Calibration Tasks

Calibration templates serve as defined geometric references that can be used to verify the accuracy and repeatability of technical systems. They enable a traceable assessment of measurement, positioning, and manufacturing processes, thereby making an important contribution to quality assurance.

KMLT® manufactures high-precision calibration templates for specific industrial requirements. The design is tailored to the intended application, the required geometries, and the technical constraints.

Where are KMLT® calibration templates used?

  • Electronics manufacturing, wafer and LTCC technology: High-precision calibration templates made of float glass serve as reference geometries for validation during wafer handling and for the precise inspection of multilayer ceramic components.
  • Metal-based additive manufacturing: Calibration templates for applications in metal 3D laser printing that require precise references for system testing and validation.
  • Optical inspection and measurement systems: Custom reference parts to support the testing of positioning accuracy, geometric mapping, and process stability—depending on the specific system requirements.

The areas of application are based on the applications and development work described by KMLT®. Specific suitability is assessed on a project-by-project basis.

FAQ - Calibration Templates from KMLT®

Can KMLT® manufacture calibration templates based on existing CAD data?

Yes. We manufacture your custom geometries, holes, and reference structures with precision based on the CAD data and technical specifications you provide.

What materials are used to manufacture calibration templates?

KMLT® manufactures calibration templates primarily from high-precision stainless steel (such as 1.4301), and upon request from FineGrain steels for minimal residual stress or from nickel. For special applications in wafer handling and optoelectronics, we also produce precise reference geometries, for example on float glass; typically, this material is provided by the customer for this purpose.

Does KMLT® offer certified quality testing and measurement reports for calibration masks?

Yes. As an ISO 9001-certified company, we offer project-specific metrological verification for quality-critical applications. The stencils are delivered with a fully documented measurement report that certifies compliance with your tight dimensional and tolerance specifications in the micrometer (µm) range.

Ab welcher Stückzahl können individuelle Kalibrierschablonen bestellt werden?

At KMLT®, you benefit from maximum flexibility: We manufacture custom calibration templates starting at just one piece as part of our prototyping services or for individual parts. Thanks to our state-of-the-art laser systems, we are also equipped to handle the cost-effective production of medium and large-scale industrial production runs.

What manufacturing processes does KMLT® use for the micro-machining of the templates?

Delicate structures, holes, and recesses are produced using state-of-the-art laser micromachining. Depending on the size and material of the desired stencil, high-precision USP lasers (ultra-short-pulse lasers) may also be used. This ensures an absolutely burr-free cut, sharp contours, and minimal thermal stress on the material for maximum resistance to warping.
