Picosecond Laser Machining
For production quality and speed with melt-free finishes.
Our picosecond laser micromachining systems consistently and reliably produce micron-level quality. To match your project’s unique needs, we start with a basic system configuration that optimizes your primary priority: either quality or speed. From there, we do fine-tuning to meet all the specifics of your project’s unique needs.
- Configuration for Best Quality: A pulse laser equipped with a short focal lens, for 4 to 6 micron kerf width. This aspect, in combination with precise linear stages, allows us to machine thin metal shim stock and cut features down to 10 microns.
- Configuration for Top Speed: A pulse laser with a closed-loop XY galvo system including a telecentric F-theta lens. With linear stages, this system configuration can process batches of parts from 10 to 500 without any operator intervention.
No matter what your configuration, you can count on these constants: we build internally and house in HEPA-filtered enclosures. This provides optimal efficiency and a cleanroom environment that meets FDA processing, handing and packaging requirements.
Picosecond Laser System Advantages
Smooth Edges & Features
Picosecond lasers deliver smooth edges and features with an aspect ratio as low as 1:1. Image shows a fragment of cut medial-grade acrylic film on a liner.
Patterns Without Damage
Clean ablation patterns can be created with no damage to substrate. Pattern shown was machined in PTFE film with 0.127mm thickness.
Configuration for Multiple Applications
Efficient, quality production systems can be developed for a variety of applications, including yours. Ablation pattern shown is in ITO coating with kerf width of 25um.
