Laser Micromachining Systems

Oxford Lasers manufactures a range of standard laser micro-machining systems for a wide variety of precision machining applications including micro-drilling, micro-cutting and micro-milling. Laser systems are supplied tailored for volume production or R&D. A variety of configurations are offered which can incorporate nanosecond, picosecond or femtosecond lasers operating in the IR, visible and UV to give controlled ablation of a wide range of materials. In addition the standard laser micromachining systems can be customised to tailor them to special applications or to handle specific parts. read more »

  • Silicon Dicing

    Lasers can be used to scribe fine features in any material. This can be for surface patterning, dicing or as the first step in a "scribe and break" process.  read more »


  • Microfluidics channels

    Laser ablation is commonly used for patterning thin films to produce small features or isolate regions within a device. Applications of laser ablation of thin films includes production of photovolatic cells (e.g. CIS, CIGS, amorphous silicon) and flat panel displays (ITO patterning).  read more »


  • Silicon Cutting

    Laser precision cutting is an attractive micromachining technique for most materials. Features down to 1 micron wide and up to 2mm deep can be machined.  read more »


  • Decorative marking

    Patterns or shapes can be engraved onto any material. Decorative markings or barcodes can be written at high speed with high accuracy.  read more »
