ABOUT ALMAX Almax Industries - Diamond optical applications are manufactured here in Belgium .Almax Industries is a Belgian diamond polishing company. We are specialized in optical applications of natural and C.V.D. (Chemical Vapour Deposition) diamond. |
|
|
Four generations of experience in diamonds and diamond optical
applications have led to our current know-how. Started as a
gem diamond polishing company, Almax diversified in the seventies
into industrial diamond applications. Stimulated by our customers,
our efforts were oriented more and more towards optical applications
of natural diamonds. We supply diamond anvils to high-pressure research
groups and original equipment manufacturers of (accessories for)
spectrometers. Convinced by the benefits of the new diamond material
of the future, we started working with C.V.D. diamond in the nineties.
The applications of C.V.D. diamond are numerous. Almax sticks to
those applications which have an optical dimension. |

Almax Industries specialised in diamond optical applications is
located near Antwerp, the world diamond trading centre. This gives
us access to an enormous market of rough natural diamonds. We evaluate
diamond according to several selection criteria. Tell us the purity,
colour, fluorescence, birefringence or type of diamond you want,
and we will supply you the right diamond for your application. We
also collaborate with several research and development labs around
the world for synthetic diamond . Whether they manufacture polycrystalline
diamond through hotpressing or C.V.D.-techniques, or whether they
grow monocrystalline diamond, they all have one thing in common:
man-made diamond. It depends very much upon your application whether
we can advise you to use one of these synthetic alternatives for
natural diamond. |

With our state-of-the-art machinery in combination with the craftsmanship
of our polishers, we are capable of manufacturing high quality diamond
anvils , cells and windows. With diamond optical applications and
three-dimensional lasercutting and automatic polishing technology,
we prepare diamond anvils for the final finishing step. This finishing
step provides us the optical surface quality of the diamond. Control
and in-process measuring make sure that we reach the most demanding
dimensional tolerances. If you require more information on our company
or products, please feel free to contact us. |
