Why Laser Micro Drilling Is The Preferred Choice For Precision Performance

Image
Laser micro-drilling, rather than using sharpened metals, has become increasingly common in the manufacturing world. This is because by using lasers, you can achieve consistent results when dealing with difficult designs or requiring small holes to be made in substrates. Depending on the type of laser used, holes as small as 10 micrometers can be created. Applications In certain situations, laser micro-drilling becomes a better choice for the job as opposed to regular drilling methods. Here are some of the essential applications of laser micro-drilling: • Creating flow filters and strainers • Drilling into rock • Sub micron drilling in flexography ceramic rolls • Drilling holes into silicon materials • Drilling guide vanes at an increased speed • Removing imperfections from diamonds • On-the-fly-cooling holes, etc. Benefits There are many advantages of laser micro-drilling compared to conventional drilling techniques, some of which are outlined below: • A non-contact process, leaving n...

What Are The Advantages Of Picosecond Laser Micromachining?

Picosecond lasers are best suited to machine materials that suffer from negative thermal effects during nanosecond laser machining with much higher performance. Nowadays, when it comes to material machining, the term "ultrafast lasers" is used more and more. It is used to distinguish picosecond and femtosecond lasers for applications. In picosecond lasers, the laser pulse length is shorter than the time required for absorbed laser energy to propagate to the substrate and is usually between 5 and 10 picoseconds (ps). Picosecond laser micromachining is becoming increasingly popular due to the outstanding superficial finish. This is accomplished due to lower heating and reduced debris-related effect. Not to mention the enhanced coupling due to the nonlinear intensity-dependent absorption and the obvious ease with which the machining effect can be achieved. The picosecond laser micromachining will produce a minimal size. This delivers features slightly smaller than one micro...
