Integrated Laser Micromachining Systems

• Femtosecond or other laser sources
• Galvanometer scan heads, fixed-optic focus heads, or multi-axis beam delivery
• Linear, rotary, or coordinated multi-axis motion
• Application-specific tooling and fixturing
• Machine vision
• Automated loading and unloading
• Robotic arms, feeders, or conveyor systems
• Pre- and post-process inspection
• Software and system controls

Motion can range from simple linear or rotary positioning to complex coordinated multi-axis movement, while the laser source, beam delivery, tooling, and automation are selected according to the application. This flexibility allows the laser micromachining process and system configuration to be matched to the manufacturing requirements, rather than requiring the application to fit a predetermined system.

From Laser Process to Production System

Both the laser process and the design of the system used to perform it are critical to successful production. AMADA WELD TECH works with customers to evaluate process feasibility and part design, develop and qualify the laser process, and determine the equipment required for reliable production. Application and sample qualification in our laboratories helps establish the appropriate laser technology and process before the system is configured. Our system engineers then integrate the required motion, tooling, vision, software, automation, and controls into a production-ready solution.

Laser Micromachining System Options

AMADA WELD TECH offers laser micromachining solutions ranging from integration-ready subsystems to complete production systems. Systems can be configured for laser micromachining processes including:

• Precision and selective ablation
• Micro drilling
• Surface texturing
• Precision milling
• Wire stripping
• Marking
• Other precision material removal applications

Available system platforms provide flexibility to accommodate different part sizes, process requirements, levels of automation, and production environments.

Integration-Ready Laser Micromachining Subsystems

For manufacturers and machine builders that do not require a complete turnkey system, AMADA WELD TECH also offers integration-ready laser micromachining subsystems. These modules integrate critical laser processing components such as the laser, optics, optomechanics, beam delivery, scanner, and laser controls. The subsystem can then be incorporated into a larger machine, manufacturing line, production system, or laboratory environment.

This approach allows manufacturers and system integrators to incorporate AMADA WELD TECH laser processing expertise into their own equipment while retaining control over the larger machine architecture.

AMADA WELD TECH Laser Micromachining System Integration

AMADA WELD TECH combines laser process development with system engineering to provide customized laser micromachining solutions. Our applications and systems teams work together from initial process evaluation through system design and integration, providing expertise in laser processing, motion, tooling, vision, software, and automation. This Define – Design – Deliver approach provides a coordinated path from application concept and process development to a robust, production-ready laser micromachining system.
