Sapphire Tips

This type is a small size cone rod. All surfaces are polished, no chips of each ends. Sapphire tips / needles can be used in laser detanl equipments.​


Vanrun OE provides a variety of customized precise sapphire tips / needles. There are following types:

All surfaces polished sapphire tips / needles (ASPST)

Only two ends polished sapphire tips / needles (ESPST)

Conical tapered tips / needles

Flat tapered tips / needles
