About Black Forest RMS
Black Forest RMS GmbH, based in Emmingen-Liptingen, is a development and manufacturing partner for technically demanding components and systems. The company manufactures high-precision aluminium mirror components, among other things for radio telescopes and antenna systems, with surface accuracies of less than 3 µm RMS. Further focal points are production-ready machining of complex precision geometries as well as thin-walled aluminium lightweight structures with weight reductions of more than 90 %. Design, manufacturing and metrology are combined into a seamless approach – from technical design through optimization to a reproducible, measurable component. Customers include industries such as science and large systems, optomechanics, industry and high-tech, metrology, special machinery construction, research and aerospace. In the context of international programs such as ngVLA and the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA), the company contributes to the latest generation of high-performance telescope and antenna systems.
