Our sub-contract micromachining service is being enhanced and expanded with the addition of new facilities.
Our new lab facility now allows us even greater capacity to carry out laser micro-drilling, laser cutting, laser milling and laser micromachining. Our sub-contract service allows you access to our expert personnel and state-of-the-art micro machining systems for all types of work from process development to production runs.
Oxford Lasers is a world leader in the provision of laser micromachining systems and services. Due to rapidly growing sub-contract demand from the electronics, bio-medical, automotive, semiconductor, sensor and other high technology sectors Oxford Lasers has commissioned a new laser micromachining facility for high volume production. At the same time, existing micromachining facilities are being upgraded to give even higher positional accuracy for certain extremely demanding applications.
Sub-contracting customers can take advantage of the latest infrared, visible and UV lasers with multi-axis part manipulation. Trepanning heads, optical and electron microscopes, vision systems for part location, and CAD/CAM file conversion are all available for micro hole drilling with holes down to 1 micron diameter in almost any material including stainless steel, hardened steel, refractory materials, ceramics, diamond, polyimide and ABS; micro cutting with cut widths down to 5 microns in almost any material; and micro milling with feature sizes down to 5 microns
Typical applications include the production of bio-medical micro parts (e.g. gene analysis spotting pins); drilling holes in chemical sensors (e.g. oxygen sensors); the manufacture of fuel injector nozzles (e.g. either gasoline or diesel); the manufacture of semiconductor test components (e.g. in alumina, silicon nitride or VespelTM); dicing or scribing wafers (e.g. in silicon or sapphire) and drilling micro nozzles (e.g. for microfluidic applications).
Oxford lasers team of specialist engineers can offer cost effective sub-contract micromachining services for batches of just few parts per month or many thousands of parts per week – all produced with equal care and precision.
