Laser Drilling Micro Holes

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.

Laser drilling micro holes.

When considering laser drilling of glass and pcbs vs. Laser drilling of micro holes is a key area for precision laser micromachining. Compared to other drilling methods lasers offer superior speed and precision while lowering operating costs. Lenox laser is the pioneer in everything laser drilling and micromachining and we will put the smallest holes in the toughest materials.

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. Micro drilling is a laser micromachining process which creates extremely precise micro scale holes in material. Laser light works closely with you to match your unique micro hole drilling needs with the right solution for the most precise efficient results. Drilling rates up to 1 000 holes per second are available.

Hole diameters can be down to 2 microns with sub micron placement accuracy. 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. And compared to other machine drilling techniques laser drilling. Laser micro drilling describes the use of a laser to drill precise orifices in various materials.

Micro drilling applications include both through holes and blind holes and can demand vertical sidewalls or tapered sidewalls depending on the application. With laser drilling the impossible becomes possible. Our laser drilling service enables no contact drilling from thousands of micro holes in ceramics and stainless steel pcb vias and through holes.
