Vehicle glass coating removal

Give vehicle cameras the right sight

Thermal control coatings, also known as low-E (low emissivity) coatings, are commonly applied to glass surfaces to enhance energy efficiency. These single, double, or triple silver coatings reflect solar heat, helping to reduce cooling energy consumption in vehicles. Typically, these coatings are applied across the entire glass surface through large-scale, efficient production processes.

However, advanced systems in modern vehicles—such as cameras, radars, and lidars—require an unobstructed view through the glass. Laser technology offers a precise solution by selectively removing coatings in specific areas, ensuring optimal performance of these systems without compromising the overall efficiency of the glass.

Applying grids of thin lines in the coating gives better accessibility for other radiofrequencies. Check out Indoor connectivity to learn more.
