PRODUCT UPDATE LASER SYSTEMS
Laser Photonics launches new cleaning systems
Laser Photonics launched its Cleantech Laser Blaster Cabinet, which it says is the world’s first FDA compliant, environmentally-friendly laser cleaning machine. A versatile Class 1 machine, the Cleantech Laser Blaster Cabinet offeres toughness, high performance, speed, precision, and exceptional productivity. It is a key piece of equipment for OSHA and CDRH FDA regulatory compliance in industrial applications. The system will benefit a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, nuclear, defence, shipbuilding and maritime. Laser Photonics has also upgraded the
software of its portable, hand-operated laser cleaning unit: CleanTech LPC-200-CTH. This 200W, multi-pattern laser can vaporise paint, rust, coatings and contaminants in a more eco-friendly way than conventional cleaning processes, such as wet chemical etching. Applications in the plastics industry include
removing release agents from injection moulds. With the upgraded software, the cleaning unit now has recipes for different applications. The software also incorporates smart
Ultrafast laser Laser Line Ultra
United Grinding and EWAG have developed the Laser Line Ultra for machining incredibly precise microtools that are needed in the electronics, medical and micromechanics industries. The Laser Line Ultra uses an eight-axis
control, allowing the user to select different pulse shapes and oscillating modes to match the task at hand. In contrast to a straight-line laser pattern, this multi-pattern laser can clean moulds without leaving overlap patterns.

micromachining system
Having recenlty emerged from stealth mode, 6-D Laser has developed an integrated ultrafast laser micromachining system that combines highspeed galvo scanning with the novel positioning capabilities of ALIO’s Hybrid Hexapod. The result is a system that can process hard, transparent materials with wide range taper angle control for creating high aspect ratio features in thick substrates, without limitations on the feature or field size. Typical laser ablative processes result in machined features that have significant
Ultra R5000
The new Ultra R5000 from Universal Laser Systems is ideal for processing a wide range of natural and advanced polymer and composite materials. It is a flexible, mid-range platform that offers high quality. The R5000’s dual-wavelength hybrid
laser technology and built-in laser power optimisation capabilities enable it to accurately match the available laser energy with a material’s absorption characteristics, to achieve optimal end results. The system supports numerous
productivity enhancement options, including a sophisticated multi-camera-based augmented reality user interface that enhances visual workflows and processes design files that use registration marks to accurately position material for processing. Additionally, the powerful control interface with a built-in and ever-expanding database of laser processing
side wall taper, for example a desired cylindrical hole will have a conical profile. While precession scanheads can create features with near-zero angled side walls, they are limited to small angles of incidence (AOI) and small field sizes by the optics in the beamline. 6-D Laser’s micromachining system
controls the AOI and resulting wall taper angle through the Hybrid Hexapod motion system. Additionally, the programmable tool centre point allows the control of AOI over the entire galvo scan field, enabling the processing of large features.

configuration and picosecond lasers to machine complex micro geometries in cutting tools, regardless of the material’s hardness, and with negligible heat-affected zones. It specialises in the laser fabrication of cutting tools made of hard and ultrahard materials, such as tungsten carbide. To ensure homogenous hole quality with micro-sized drillbits, wear-resistance of the tools is of utmost importance, and only achieved by micro-cutting tools made of ultrahard materials. By using ultrashort laser pulses and an EWAG drill module, the Laser Line Ultra enables diameter-to- length ratios up to 1:20. This tech allows manufacturers to produce tip thinning or chamfers, and unlike conventional methods, the force-free process eliminates waste from tool breakage.

production schedules, especially in the electronics, automotive, metal and plastics processing industries. The Y.0200-S marking system can keep pace with legal ID specifications and provide a high level of code contrast and durability, even on robust, high- density materials. The 20W fibre laser provides increased
operational freedom, flexibility and application confidence. Users can select either a 6mm marking head for high-speed production, or a 10mm marking head for parts marking with fine detail. Up to 1,300 characters per second can be achieved with the 6mm marking head, and up to 1,000 characters per second with the 10mm marking head.
