Ask the Expert: Building Better Laser Micromachining Systems

Novel, advanced motion control and synchronized laser control solutions allow machine builders and system integrators reduce risks and time to market, while achieving higher throughput and accuracy than possible before. Advanced algorithms, EtherCat control and novel gantry / stage designs open up new opportunities in automation.

Ultrafast laser micromachining offers high accuracy and throughput while minimizing material damage. When paired with piezoelectric or traditional motion stages for workpiece positioning, fixed lasers optimize performance without the complexities tied to the galvo scanners typically used for beam steering. However, integrating controls for different motion systems and the laser can be challenging.
