Here Are Few Fail-Proof Reasons to choose Laser Micromachining over Mechanical Cutting

Image
                           The significant benefit of  laser micromachining  is it helps to monitor a wide range of laser parameters accurately, helping turn a flat sheet of metal into various parts with many characteristics without the need for tools. Here's why you should choose laser micromachining over mechanical cutting.   Cleaner Cuttings   Lasers make for finer and smoother cuts, with complicated detail and right edge quality in sheet metal or circular, square, rectangular, and triangular tubes. Unlike mechanical cutting, cuts are burr-free and can be extremely complex. Lasers may also be used to cut wood, plastics, ceramics, or wax precisely.   3D laser cutting is also available for parts with unique hole geometries, and CNC laser cutting is available for creating curves and creating complex 3D structures. 6-axis laser cutting capabilities allow for cuts at any fancied a...

An Expert and Efficient Guide to Laser Micromachining for 2020

Image
Laser cutting  or laser micromachining are applied to various types of materials where complicated contours require precise, quick, and force-free processing. Lasers produce narrow kerfs and thereby accomplish high-precision cuts. This process does not display any distortion, and in several cases, post-processing is not required as the component is subjected to only a small heat input and can largely cut dross-free.   Almost all types of metal can be  laser-micromachined , such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, which are perhaps the most common applications. Other laser-cut components are made of wood, plastics, glass, and ceramics. Compared to traditional methods such as die-cutting, laser cutting is a cost-effective method. The main advantage of laser micromachining is the localized laser energy input, which provides small focal diameters, tiny kerf widths, high feed rate, and low heat input.   Cutting glass with traditional, mechanical metho...

All That You Wanted To Know About Laser Micromachining of Fused Silica Molds

Image
The ultrafast laser is used in micromachining all kinds of natural and synthetic glasses, including fused silica and quartz. A femtosecond laser is commonly used to fabricate silica molds and others. The use of low energy  femtosecond laser  beam combined with chemical etching has been proven to be an effective technique to fabricate three-dimensional structures in fused silica. Experts demonstrate that those moldings are characterized by a high accuracy down to the nanometer scale to the silica mold.     For high volume applications, this technology, like other serial processes, suffers from a moderate production rate. Experts show that in such hollow waveguides, high-intensity femtosecond laser beams are guided with low optical loss. They also report on the fabrication of hollow optical waveguides in fused silica using femtosecond laser micromachining. These results further promote the applicability of  femtosecond laser processing  of glass...

An Easy but Complete Guide to Laser Marking Of Various Materials

Image
                                    Laser engraving or Laser marking is a process of creating surface contrast. It is achieved by using a range of different types of physical effects. However, it is something that will create your surface contrast by getting rid of a specific depth of material. Usually, the depth that is removed is anywhere from 0.005 to.02". Because so little of the thickness is removed, you will find that it is quite challenging. This is why you should always be entirely confident about the company that you work with. Laserod Technologies has decades of experience in customizing laser solutions for various needs. Metal Materials Stainless steel is always a good metal that you can laser-engrave on. When it comes to coated metals, look for metal plates made with metal that is very finely polished. It needs to be covered with enamel paint so that it can be burned off comp...

Benefits of Laser Micromachining Sapphire for LED Production

Image
The increase in demand for LEDs used in various applications such as backlight displays for handheld devices, flat-panel televisions, automotive headlamps, and other general lighting applications has made LED manufacturers more enthusiastic in finding ways for more efficient production methods to address this trend. Sapphire - most commonly used substrate.' Sapphire is the most commonly used substrate material for several reasons. First, because it provides an excellent lattice match for the GaN, second, it is transparent to LED output. This property is critical since some of the light emitted by the LED partially passes through the edge of the sapphire substrate. And third, it helps in heat sinking the LEDs, as it is an excellent thermal conductor. 'Laser scribing - the advance method.' Laser scribing - a new and more advanced method provides many advantages, addressing the challenges found in the traditional methods. Some of these are the following: ...
