Micromachining systems use solid-state lasers

Oxford Lasers has developed a new range of diode-pumped solid-state laser micromachining systems.

Oxford Lasers has developed a new range of diode-pumped solid-state laser micromachining systems.

Dr Martyn Knowles, Technical Director says: "This was a key strategic decision to broaden our product range so that we can serve a wider group of customers.

We have developed an in-depth knowledge of laser micromachining systems over the last 10 years and are very pleased to add DPSSL systems to that portfolio".

The company has already been successful with this new product range and has supplied 532 and 355nm systems for medical device manufacture and research applications.

The company also offers systems with 1064nm output for micro-drilling and cutting of metals and with 266nm output processing plastics and glass materials.

Dr Knowles goes on to say: "The company originally made its name as a laser manufacturer but over the last 10 years our business has increasingly changed to being a system integrator.

Today over 80% of our business is supplying turnkey systems for micromachining and imaging applications and more than 50% of those systems incorporate a laser that we source externally".

Oxford Lasers offers three standard system platforms with a fully integrated and interlocked workstation and PC controlled multi-axis part handling with options such as trepanning heads, optical taper correction systems, galvo scanning systems and automated vision alignment systems.

These systems are ideal for a wide range of micromachining applications in the automotive, electronic, semiconductor and medical device sectors.
