The use of lasers for micro drilling has become widely accepted in a wide variety of industries, for example the electronics and automotive sectors through to applications in displays and energy.
These applications can have a need, not only for a variety of hole geometries, but parts can have anything from a single hole to many tens of thousands of holes.
Laser drilling can produce not only circular and rectangular holes, but these holes can be produced with a variety of tapers. In addition, holes can be drilled at angles normal to the surface of the material or if required at very acute angles to the surface.
There are a variety of processing techniques available when undertaking laser drilling. These techniques can result in many hundreds of holes being drilled per second and / or these holes having extremely high quality, where hole after hole, the shape is identical.
Holes can be drilled on parts, where the hole positional accuracy is less than 2 microns.
Oxford Laser have a wide variety of lasers available for laser drilling. These range from ultrafast picosecond and femtosecond lasers through to nanosecond and longer pulsed lasers. This allows us to select not only the best laser pulse length, but also wavelength to suit your particular application.
Oxford Lasers have been laser drilling holes in a wide variety of materials for over 20 years.
