The drilling of small holes is one of the most common applications of the excimer and co2 lasers.
Laser hole drilling process.
The anv laser team has extensive experience in laser drilling with the know how to precisely control all the parameters that are critical to achieving precise and predictable hole drilling.
If larger holes are required the laser is moved around the circumference of the popped hole until the desired diameter is created.
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 is the process of creating thru holes referred to as popped holes or percussion drilled holes by repeatedly pulsing focused laser energy on a material.
The smallest hole diameter that can be drilled by this operation is about 6 mils 0 006.
Gfh gmbh has been involved in the production of laser drilled micro holes since it was founded.
Laser drilling utilizing the trepanning method can also produce proportionately larger exit holes by tilting the laser beam within an already drilled.
Compared to other drilling methods lasers offer superior speed and precision while lowering operating costs.
Lasers can be focussed to very small spots the very small holes in ink jet nozzles or the micro vias in smart phone printed circuit boards are created with our excimer or co2 lasers.
Laser drilling is a non contact process meaning that unlike conventional drills the laser doesn t physically touch the material it is working with itself meaning that the only mark that is left is the hole that has been drilled.
This drilling technology implements drill bits.
The difference however between percussion laser drilling and single shot laser drilling is that the size of the beam being used within percussion laser drilling is changed throughout the process changing the size of the hole throughout the process.
Laser drilling is the process of repeatedly pulsing focused laser energy at a material vaporizing layer after layer until the desired depth is achieved.
Laser drilling of micro holes is a key area for precision laser micromachining.
Laser drilling in a trepanned spiral pattern begins in the approximate center of the laser drilled hole and prevents hole inconsistencies related to the start stop of the laser beam.
The diameter of these holes can be as small as 0 002 50 μm.
This in turn maintains the original quality of the material.
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.
Laser drilling is a non contact process where the workpiece and the tool do not come in contact with each other.
