CLR-Liga enables fast and straightforward authentication of your products. It also provides effective protection against counterfeiting, requiring very little infrastructure: a simple laser pointed at the nanostructure is enough to verify the product. CLR-Liga is extremely discreet and can be applied to both micromechanical components and injected plastic parts.
All types of logos or simple designs are possible. Working off an image in JPEG or PDF format, we can encode the image according to a diffractive surface principle.
This method of verification applies exclusively to components made using the UV-LIGA process. Even if there is only a very small surface area that is visible, an area of 0.500 x 0.500 mm (256 pixels) is sufficient to diffract any logo. Depending on the desired resolution, we can increase the diffractive area to 1 mm2 (512 pixels).
CLR-Liga can be applied to a wide variety of LIGA components and can be made with all of our electroformable materials, including: - Nickel (Ni-550HV) - Nickel-phosphorus (NiP-560HV) - LigaFlex™ (NiFe-610HV) - AmaFlex™ (NiP-560HV + TT) - 24-carat hard gold (Au24-220HV)
"We have forged a partnership of trust and excellence with Mimotec around the design of Audemars Piguet's 24-carat galvanic gold sconces. Together, we pushed the limits of our respective expertise by investing in this project of unparalleled complexity. Their perseverance, technical skills and sense of human relations enabled us to move forward serenely during this long-term project."
"Carl F. Bucherer would like to thank Mimotec for their professionalism. For several years now, we have entrusted them with the manufacture of numerous technical components, requiring extreme precision, and this to our great satisfaction. Whether it be in terms of project management, the quality of the components or the deadlines, they have always met our expectations. Thanks to their know-how, we were able to incorporate CLR-Liga technology into our components to avoid any risk of counterfeiting."
