Laser Drilling of High-Density Micro Holes
Combined Motion Technologies for High Precision, High Aspect Ratio and Fast Drilling
When laser drilling the smallest high-density holes, many factors such as cone shape control as well as spot size and wavelength of the laser will have an impact on the result. In addition, fast and precise positioning of the workpiece, the laser head and the laser focus height is important. With the right combination of appropriate motion technologies and user-friendly control strategies to synchronize laser power, repetition rates and laser frequency with motion, it is possible to maintain hole accuracy and density over a wide range, thus increasing the throughput and quality of the laser drilling process.
