Laser Drilling Micro Holes

Laser drilling and machining we specialize in laser micro drilling apertures orifices slits shapes pinholes and apodizers in a variety of materials dimensions and arrays.

Laser drilling micro holes. In the case of drilling polymer materials especially polymer based medical devices where hole precision accuracy and quality are critical attributes the choice of machining technique is as important as the laser wavelength selection. Round square rectangular oval etc. Compared to other drilling methods lasers offer superior speed and precision while lowering operating costs. Laser drilling is a non contact process that uses focused high energy density light to ablate material and drill holes in a wide variety of materials.

Micro drilling applications include both through holes and blind holes and can demand vertical sidewalls or tapered sidewalls depending on the application. Micro drilling is a laser micromachining process which creates extremely precise micro scale holes in material. Can be produced by varying the drilling technique. Laser micro drilling describes the use of a laser to drill precise orifices in various materials.

With laser drilling the impossible becomes possible. Critical items to consider when planning a hole drilling project include the diameter of the hole the thickness of the material the shape of the hole edge quality of hole desired taper of hole and center to center pitch of the holes. Lenox laser is the pioneer in everything laser drilling and micromachining and we will put the smallest holes in the toughest materials. Laser light works closely with you to match your unique micro hole drilling needs with the right solution for the most precise efficient results.

Our laser drilling service enables no contact drilling from thousands of micro holes in ceramics and stainless steel pcb vias and through holes. Drilling rates up to 1 000 holes per second are available. Electrical discharge machining or edm laser drilling is much more precise. Laser micro hole drilling is widely applied to the creation of precisely controlled orifices for applications that demand a combination of small diameter exceptional quality and exacting tolerances.

Laser drilling of micro holes is a key area for precision laser micromachining. When considering laser drilling of glass and pcbs vs. Potomac is continually developing and adding new hole drilling processes to our facility.
