About FEMTOsecond LASER Technology

FEMTOsecond LASER micro-machining is the most advanced LASER technology to process a wide range of materials. Thanks to very low heat diffusion time (< 300 fs), thermal effects are avoided. High energy density improves surface and geometries quality, while a high repetition rate ensures excellent productivity.

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 micro-machining there are various processes possible like:
- laser drilling
- laser cutting
- laser 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.
