Precision we can achieve
Experience the harmony of precision and innovation with Posalux.
Leveraging contact-free machining, Posalux achieves machining geometries down to 20 μm. The expertise extends to maintain a ratio of up to 1/10 for diameter to depth. Such precision ensures high positioning accuracy, while turning operations can reach an exceptional surface roughness down to 50 nm. Even with part lengths reaching up to 8 mm, the capability to manufacture all manner of shapes and geometries remains undiminished. Tolerances down to less than ±1.5 µm, with minimum widths slimming down to an impressive 15 µm can be reached. This level of detail ensures an outstanding outlook, characterized by cutting uniformity and a remarkably smooth finish.

The FEMTOsecond LASER technology is a perfect match for all industries requiring the highest precision without compromising quality and productivity.
Miniaturized components are used in all kind of devices. Several applications – e.g. in the electronics or MedTech world – are not imaginable without very small and tiny parts. Thus, this requires new ways to produce and manufacture these parts. With FEMTO LASER μ-machining there are various processes possible like drilling, cutting and turning. It's compatible with almost all materials that are otherwise very difficult to machine with conventional tools.
With each FEMTOsecond LASER pulse that hits the work-piece, a small amount of material immediately vaporizes. The material removal occurs in a controlled manner leading to no damage, burrs or any negative influences to the material integrity.
Your benefits:
- FEMTOsecond Laser source < 300 fs
- Highest level of accuracy and productivity
- Stable and repeatable quality
- Cold ablation keeping material integrity (no HAZ)
- Proven performance in 24/7 industrial environment
FEMTOsecond LASER machines provide advanced µ-machining solutions for high-tech production. It ensures impeccable surface smoothness and precise machining without thermal residue.
