A Turn-key Solution:   The LaserMill’s solid-state YAG laser, 3-axis stages and video-microscope with zoom magnfication are completely software controlled.

For prototyping, short-runs, R&D and pilot line development, the LaserMill is ready to use out of the crate.

With Tangible Returns:  Perform many of the same functions on the LaserMill as contract job shops offer. Save time & money consumed by out-sourcing and protect your proprietary processes.

The Multi-wavelength Advantage:  Change wavelengths with one click to suit the material.

Cut • drill • ablate • weld • pattern • scribe • micro-channel • depassivate • direct-write • mark • mill

Key Benefits

  Laser micro-machining system yelds sharp & repeatable
      results from simple holes to complex patterns.
  Intuitive software controls are easy to master without
      training
  A compact, solid-state laser alternative to excimer’s
      toxic gases & instability
  Switchable wavelengths to suit the material for optimal
      results
  The lowest cost of ownership

Capabilities

  View the work piece in-process for total control of the
      machining operation.
  Set the size and shape of cuts via a rotating, XY
      aperture to < 2µm width
  Import CAD/CAM .dxf files and machine complex
      patterns.
  Regulate the energy density up to 25J/cm2 for the most
      challenging samples or near zero for the most delicate.
  Navigate the 100 X 100mm stage area using the
      Sample  Mapping function
  Hold wafers, film and sheet stock flat with the optional
      vacuum chuck for uniform machining throughout.
