Fast Laser Micromachining
April 1, 2020
"GF Machining Solutions' Microlution ML-5 5-axis ultrafast laser platform takes micromachining capabilities to a new level beyond what is possible with traditional CNC machining," said a company spokesperson.
The Microlution ML-5 is optimized for micro-scale holemaking and fine cutting without creating heat-affected zones. The machine's compact, high-performance femto laser is engineered to reduce cycle times and tooling costs to enable the production of precision parts in seconds.
"The combination of quick acceleration, enhanced stability, precise part handling and motion control with integrated part characterization and measurement provide precise machining with increased accuracy, speed and quality," said the spokesperson. "The Microlution ML-5 brings new designs and products to life-from more efficient automotive fuel injectors and complex watch parts to highly precise medical catheter tips and micro-crack-free holes for mobile devices' hardened glass screens."
The platform offers up to five axes of motion and supports multiple laser types for ±1 µm positional accuracy and ±0.5 µm repeatability. Its high-precision beam delivery system is supported by a precision-ground natural granite base and granite-mounted ironless rails. The Microlution ML-5 also features high-precision linear motors and high-resolution Heidenhain glass scale encoders along with an in-line workpiece touch probe, integrated power meter and high-speed optical camera.
