Let’s share the knowledge
We are continuously exploring the ultrafast processing of novel materials and are eager to share our knowledge to support your application development.
We can make tests and proof of concept in-house and apply our knowledge and skill set to your project, offering support and advice to enhance your results.
What do you want to do?
Regardless of your requirements, we are happy to offer advice and explore with you whether your laser micromachining requirements are ablation, drilling, cutting, glass cleaving, scribing, marking, engraving, welding, ophthalmology, opto-stimulation, or surface functionalization of metals, ceramics, brittle or transparent materials, or organic materials.
Industry-leading equipment gives the best results
Currently, we have two micromachining set-ups equipped with a wide range of galvo scanners, telecentric f-theta lenses, beam expanders, XYZ motion stages with a dual-axis position synchronized output (PSO) capability, various scanner control cards, and scanner software, and our versatile high-performance compact ultrafast lasers. With the right combination of optical components, we can focus laser beams down to a spot size of <5 µm.
We do high-accuracy material processing, using only industry-leading equipment from Aerotech, Newport, Zaber, Scanlab, Raylase, and NIKON. Furthermore, we employ high-resolution CCD camera-based optical microscopy to provide detailed analysis of processed samples.
With a wide range of microscope objectives, motorized XYZ stages, and image stitching or automated Z-axis acquisition, we can create detailed 3D feature profiles to analyze results. If needed, we also have access to SEM and TEM analysis equipment for exploratory material analysis.
Micro-machining for every industry
Our ultrafast lasers can process virtually any material, including metals, ceramics, glass, polymers, organic materials, and even composites. We can easily configure our setup to meet your micromachining needs, whether you’re involved in display manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, or semiconductor and microelectronics.
