4 Essential Benefits Of Femtosecond Laser Micromachining

Image
  A wide variety of highly analytical key performance metrics and the reliability to survive harsh operating conditions requires the best technology to achieve. Femtosecond lasers can meet the variable consumer demands in an incredibly large cross-section of the industry. Today, there are potentially three major fields of use for femtosecond lasers: medical devices, micromachining small parts and advanced research projects. A significant factor behind the large-scale implementation of advanced optical technology such as femtosecond lasers is the potential to work efficiently in conventional research environments and under rough environments. Speaking more on that, we have four essential benefits of femtosecond lasermicromachining : Transparent Materials Processing In transparent materials manufacturing, femtosecond lasers are an excellent choice, providing manufacturers the chance to fine-tune the ablation and welding of glass with unparalleled thermal side effect mitigation. Micro...

Everything You Wanted To Know About Cold Ablation

Image
  The ablation method is fundamental for laser micromachining. Conventional pulsed- laser machining processes dissociate matter at atomic and molecular levels by application of laser radiation. The absorbed laser energy is passed to the material's atomic and molecular lattice, which induces ablatement of the substance. Simultaneously, this energy is ultimately transformed into heat that disperses out of the laser spot volume beyond the laser pulse duration. However, surgically clean and extremely localized laser ablation is possible without significant damage or alteration of the underlying material, by using femtosecond laser micromachining.   Femtoseconds are the time-scale in which a process called cold ablation can develop. The principle of cold ablation is an ablation that happens in the process of femtosecond laser absorption, during the athermal state of the substance. The aim is to remove excess material before it is in a state of total thermal equilibrium, allowi...

Superior Laser Micromachining Of Thin Metals With Laserod Technologies

Image
The laser micromachining of small parts accurately and repeatability on thinner sheet metals requires a precise system. Otherwise, you're just using a sledgehammer to crack nuts and losing money in the process. The use of a high-power laser on thin metals will cause all sorts of problems that could be prevented by a less powered machine. A high-power laser, for example, is required to cut thick metal, not thin ones, so it can become unstable by under performing it. The running costs involved are not comparable with a low-powered system, either. Set-up costs can also be out of proportion to the work's value. In some cases, using a high-power laser to cut small parts can double the production costs. At Laserod, we have developed a small part laser micromachining solution for different types of metals. Our thin metal cutting and drilling system is a laser cutter optimized for micromachining small parts in both prototypes as well as industrial environments. Operating on vario...

Why Femtosecond Laser Micromachining Is The Best Choice For Microscale Polymer Machining

Image
The femtosecond laser has proven to be a unique tool for shaping highly porous materials. A femtosecond laser micromachining system can be utilized for ultrafast machining. Likewise, laser micromachining can be utilized to cut, drill, weld, and make other material enhancements to achieve single or double-digit micrometer level features. Micromachining using femtosecond lasers assists in high precision processing without any heat effect on the substrate. The femtosecond laser micromachining system is a turnkey laser machine designed for specific industrial processes. For example, polyurea aerogel's unique porous structure has many attractive applications, including lightweight thermal capabilities. Picosecond and femtosecond laser micromachining has developed as a reliable tool for precise manufacturing in electronic industries. These processes are used to make fine drilling and machining possible into hard metals and ceramics as well as soft plastic. They also form various na...
