Due to rapidly growing sub-contract demand from the electronics, bio-medical, sensor and other sectors Oxford Lasers has commissioned a new laser micromachining facility for high volume production
At the same time, existing micromachining facilities are being upgraded to give even higher positional accuracy for certain extremely demanding applications.
Sub-contracting customers can take advantage of the latest infrared, visible and UV lasers with multi-axis part manipulation.
Trepanning heads, optical and electron microscopes, vision systems for part location, and Cad/Cam file conversion are all available for micro hole drilling: holes down to 1micron diameter can be drilled in almost any material including stainless steel, hardened steel, refractory materials, ceramics, diamond, polyimide and ABS; micro cutting: cut widths down to 5 microns in almost any material; micro milling: feature sizes down to 5 microns.
Typical applications include production of bio-medical micro parts; drilling holes in chemical sensors; manufacture of fuel injector nozzles (both gasoline and diesel); manufacture of semiconductor test components in alumina, silicon nitride or Vespel; dicing and scribing silicon and sapphire wafers; drilling micro nozzles for microfluidic applications.
Oxford Lasers's team of specialist engineers can offer cost effective sub-contract micromachining services for batches of just few parts per month or many thousands of parts per week - all produced with equal care and precision.
