There are many advantages of laser machining compared to conventional methods such
as EDM, ECM, chemical etching or stamping. Laser can easily cut complex parts with
a high degree of tolerance. The process is programmable. Excessively hard, pressure
and force sensitive or very thin materials can be cut with a small focused beam and
a high efficient use of material. In many cases, laser cutting is preferred against
stamping due to its high flexibility and non-contact characteristic.
Precision welding, especially for hermetic sealing of medical or electronic devices,
requires high weld quality with minimum heat input. Laser welding has been selected
for those applications, providing excellent dimensional control and reliability.
Our experience in applications, process development, material ablation and melt
ejection, in joint design and metallography makes us a valuable and reliable resource
to the industry.
The following application examples highlight some of our process capabilities,
including:
- Laser cutting of
extremely thin materials (10 - 25 µm thick)
- Laser precision cutting of thick materials such
as mild or stainless steel, aluminum or copper with material thickness up to 3 mm
(.120")
- Laser micro cutting
and micro drilling of polyimide Kapton, cirlex, Lexan, acrylic PMMA, PET, rubbers
and woven silks
- Laser cutting of
stainless steels, copper, aluminium, nickels, Invar, Kovar, tungsten, titanium,
molybdenum, silicon wafer
- Laser drilling of
needles, tubes or injection nozzles
- Laser hermetic
welding of aluminium alloys(4047/6071)
- Laser welding of
BeCu, cobalt, thin foils, disks and tubes
- Laser transmission welding of
plastics
- Laser micro welding with filler material, tubular
welding
- Non-contact laser glass cutting, laser grooving
- Laser selective
polishing and hardening of steel surfaces
- Laser marking of 2D matrix, tubular, annealing marking
