Inquiry

Quartz thin rods and wicks are fine solid elements for capillary assemblies, probes, lamp components, micro-supports and later flame working. The standard reference range is Ø0.3–3 mm and 20–300 mm long. Diameters down to Ø0.2 mm and longer parts are available as separately reviewed combinations.

Fine rods can be supplied as continuous stock, matched cut pieces or finished wicks with flat, pointed, rounded and small ball ends. Batch diameter consistency, end shape and protective packing are part of the manufacturing route.

Thin Rod and Wick Products

Fine Round Rod Stock

As-drawn solid quartz rod for production cutting, lampworking and insertion into small assemblies.

Ø0.3–3 mm standard range
Continuous or cut supply
Smooth as-drawn surface

Pointed Quartz Wicks

A tapered or pointed end creates a localized contact area for liquid pickup, heating, insertion and probe functions.

Single pointed end
Double-ended wick
Short or long taper

Rounded and Ball Ends

Flame-rounded tips remove the sharp cut edge. Small ball ends provide a smooth stop, contact point or retention feature.

Rounded tip
Small ball end
One or both ends

Matched Cut Pieces

Fine rods can be cut and grouped as consistent production batches for automated assembly, laboratory use and secondary fabrication.

Matched lengths
Fixed pack quantities
Separated protective packing

Fine-Rod Manufacturing Capabilities

Small-diameter rods require controlled drawing and careful downstream handling. Diameter, length, tip geometry and packing are treated as connected manufacturing stages.

Primary and Secondary Drawing

Quartz stock is drawn or redrawn into fine solid rod. Secondary drawing supports smaller diameters and specialized production batches.

Ø0.3–3 mm standard reference
Ø0.2 mm custom review
Round solid cross-section

Output: fine rod stock with consistent diameter

Precision Cut-to-Length

Fine rods are cut into individual pieces or matched batches. Cutting is arranged to limit chips and contact damage at the ends.

20–300 mm standard reference
Matched batch lengths
Flat-cut ends

Output: assembly-ready fine rod pieces

Flame-Formed Tips

Localized flame working produces points, rounded tips, tapers and small ball ends without machining the complete rod.

Pointed wick ends
Rounded tips
Ball and stop features

Output: functional wick and probe geometries

Batch Inspection and Packing

Diameter, cut length and tip form are checked before rods are separated, bundled or placed into fixed-count packs.

Visual damage inspection
Batch length checks
Protective separation

Output: counted batches protected for transport and assembly

Product Range

Product form	Reference size	Available finishing
Fine rod stock	Ø0.3–3 mm; continuous or cut supply	As-drawn surface, flat-cut ends
Micro-diameter rod	Down to Ø0.2 mm by review	Cut pieces or production stock
Quartz wick	20–300 mm standard reference length	Pointed, tapered, rounded or fire-finished end
Matched production pieces	Diameter and length grouped by order	Fixed-count and separated packing

Fine Rods for Further Quartz Fabrication

Thin rod stock can be sealed into capillaries, sleeves and lamp assemblies or used as a starting element for flame-formed probes and supports. The as-drawn surface minimizes secondary machining and keeps the rod suitable for later hot work.
