Problem
Many industrial micromachining processes require high precision and speed but suffer from heat accumulation, which can reduce accuracy and damage materials. Traditional laser micromachining techniques often struggle to balance these competing demands, leading to suboptimal results.
Solution
Lithium Lasers offers the FEMTOFLASH, a femtosecond laser designed for high-precision industrial micromachining. The FEMTOFLASH emits high-frequency bursts of ultrashort pulses, enabling a machining regime that minimizes heat accumulation. This approach allows for increased speed and accuracy when cutting, drilling, milling, and soldering a variety of materials, including semiconductors, metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The laser's adjustable burst shapes and tunable repetition rate allow users to optimize the laser for specific applications.
