Fresnel lens conjecture the transformation and development of zhejiang lante optical co., LTD

In the meeting room of zhejiang lante optical co., LTD., there is a "glass board". Wang fangli, vice President of the company interviewed by the reporter, introduced that this "glass board" carries the future of lante, and the company is looking for a new breakthrough on it.

The "glass panel", called a Fresnel lens, is a major component of solar power generation equipment that focuses.However, this product is not completely made of glass. The glass panel is made of silica gel.Silica gel is a chemical material that ages.Solar power generation equipment has been exposed to the sun for a long time. For example, in the golmud basin of xinjiang, the sunlight reaches 14 or 5 hours a day. The silica gel material is exposed to the sun for a long time, and the light transmittance will decline after aging.How to break this bottleneck has become one of the efforts of lante, lante strive to make Fresnel lens into a full glass product through a precision molding technology, glass acid resistant alkali resistant aging, such products can be used for 20 years, 50 years.

Generation cost is the bottleneck in the generation industry.Replace silica gel product with glass, unit power generation cost can be reduced, the product has a price advantage, the product will have a market prospect.It took him more than half a year to develop the silicone Fresnel lens, and he soon began to develop the glass Fresnel lens and applied for a patent.This product is leading both domestically and internationally.At present, equipment development and process development have been carried out, and the sample equipment was in place last July.

Lante optical co., LTD., formerly known as lante optical coating factory, was founded in 1995, specializing in the production and processing of various kinds of optical prisms, lenses, window plates and optical coating, is a high-tech enterprise in zhejiang province.After 17 years of development, lante optics has laid a solid foundation in the research, development, design, production and sales of optical components.Lante currently has more than 600 employees, of which about 5% are r&d personnel.A new factory covering an area of 40 mu has been built.

Lante optical business is mainly divided into traditional optics, automotive optics and energy optics, the development of the three go hand in hand.The traditional optics do fine and strong, lanter optics in the roof prism and other fields has occupied a decisive position, the company's products in cameras, projectors, telescopes, photoelectric display equipment and other products have been applied.

The research and development of automotive optics started in 2008.Later that year, the company's chairman, xu yunming, seized the opportunity when he came across information about an American company's search for a blind spot in China.Through a large number of market research and visits, the vision of the new energy field, lante company decided to enter the automotive field, investing more than 4 million yuan, the transfer of scientific research elite, accelerate the development of new products.

After eight months of working day and night, the company finally succeeded in developing the blind side mirror with five national patents, and soon put it into production.As soon as the product was launched, it was immediately welcomed by the market, and the world's largest auto reflector manufacturer also approached the company to cooperate with lanter.With excellent technology and advantages, the product has been widely used in ford, general motors, Toyota and other world famous brands of automobiles, 100% of the products exported.In just two years, lante embarked on the road of transformation and development.

"The entry of this product into the international market strengthens our determination to continue on the road of scientific and technological innovation."Xu yunming said.At present, the output value of products produced by the company in the fields of automobiles and solar energy accounts for about 60% of the total output value of the company, which has become the most stable part of lante's profits.

In terms of energy optics, solar power generation is mainly monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon, etc., while lanter chose another system. Generally, the conversion rate of monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon is around 14%.The development of lante traditional optics is relatively stable, with an annual development trend of about 20% and 30%.

Seeking development and expanding the space, lante is not satisfied with following Japan, Germany and other cold processing powers, dare to challenge the world's technical problems.The glass Fresnel lens, which is precisely molded, is one such lens

World class problem.However, compared with those big enterprises that invest billions of dollars in precision molding, lant still dares to chew on this bone, but lant defines precision molding as a product between precision optics and non-optics, and has put it into practice.

In the realization of differentiated positioning products, in addition to the transformation of the original cold processing technology, lante also independently developed the slot mold technology, smart phones and so on.The efficiency is increased 4-5 times after adopting the groove die process.Smart phone is the joint research and development of lante and machinery factory, is a domestic initiative.

"Expand edge optics based on traditional optics."This is the development concept put forward by ranter optics.Over the years, lante optics has continuously deepened its technological development and retained its core advantages. Through independent research and development and continuous accumulation, lante optics has embarked on a road of transformation and upgrading, enabling enterprises to shift from increasingly saturated traditional products to innovative and differentiated products.The enterprise dream of lante is to innovate constantly, strengthen product competitiveness and make the enterprise invincible.
