Who we are?
Rura Optical Systems is a Dutch company based in Montfort, The Netherlands. We specialize in advanced optical measurement solutions for coated glass and films, supporting customers from R&D and coating development through production quality control.
Our measurement systems are designed for a wide range of sample sizes — from approximately 80 × 80 mm to large glass panels — and can be tailored to specific accuracy, sample handling and process requirements.
Rura Optical Systems develops two complementary optical measurement platforms: a table-top spectrophotometer for simultaneous Transmission (T) and Reflection (R) measurements, and a portable reflectance system for First-Surface Reflection or Total Reflection. Optical modelling can be added for coating analysis.
What we do
Table-Top Spectrophotometer
Simultaneous measurement of Transmission (T) and Reflection (R) for accurate optical characterization of coated glass and films.
Portable Reflectance system
Portable measurement of First-Surface Reflection or Total Reflection for coated glass and transparent substrates, suitable for laboratory and production use.
Optical Modelling.
Measured optical data can be used as input for coating analysis and optical modelling, supporting layer characterization, coating development and process optimization.
Built Around Your Application
Measurement solutions tailored to your accuracy, sample handling and process requirements.
Customized
Each measurement solution can be tailored to the customer’s specific application, including measurement geometry, sample size, handling requirements and the level of automation needed for laboratory or production use.
Accurate
Designed for reliable and high-accuracy transmission and reflection measurements, providing consistent optical data for coating development, process optimization and production quality control.
Scalable
Our measurement systems can be configured for a wide range of sample sizes — from small laboratory samples to large glass panels — while maintaining the same focus on accurate and reproducible optical characterization.
Application-Focused
Our measurement solutions are optimized for coated glass and films, with the measurement geometry, sample handling and system configuration adapted to the specific application and process requirements.
Modelling-Ready
Measured optical data can be used for optical modelling and coating analysis, providing a direct link between measurement results, coating development and production quality control.
Typical Applications
Architectural & Low-E Glass
Optical characterization of coated architectural glass, including Low-E and solar-control coatings. Rura measurement systems support accurate evaluation of transmission, reflection and coating performance for product development, process optimization and production quality control.
Solar Glass
Optical measurement of coated and structured solar glass for coating development, process optimization and production quality control. Rura systems support accurate evaluation of transmission and reflection across relevant solar-glass applications.
Automotive Glass
Optical characterization of functional coatings used on windscreens, side glass and other automotive glazing. Measurements can support development, validation and production control of coatings with demanding optical requirements.
Display Glass and films
Optical characterization of anti-reflection (AR) coatings on display glass and transparent display substrates. Rura measurement systems support evaluation of reflection, transmission and spectral coating performance for coating development, process optimization and production quality control.
Coated Polymer Films
Reflectance and transmission measurement of coated films and transparent polymer substrates for optical and functional coating applications. Rura measurement systems support coating development, process optimization and production quality control for flexible and rigid transparent polymer materials.
Protective & Hard Coatings
Optical characterization of protective, hard and multifunctional coatings on glass and transparent substrates. Rura measurement systems support evaluation of reflection, transmission and spectral coating performance during coating development, process optimization and production quality control.
From R&D to Production
Rura Optical Systems supports the complete measurement workflow — from coating development and laboratory characterization to process optimization, production control and quality assurance.
