Highly Flexible Micromachining System
The IX-255 UV Laser Micromachining System is for multi-purpose, R&D, and small-scale production applications. The system, configured with a beam energy density up to 25J/cm2, is for applications such as drilling ceramic materials. It can also be programmed to lower energy density for large-field exposures. A third configuration allows the programmable selection of beam shapes for general-purpose patterning, cutting, and machining of blind features.

Main Features:

  • Pre-set configurations
  • Selectable beam shapes for automated, complex micromachining
  • Precision stages with < 3µm motion control accuracy
  • Dual magnification, vision system with sub-micron part alignment

Advanced Applications:

  • Micro-drilling
  • Thin-film removal
  • Dicing
  • Annealing capabilities

3-Flute End Mills
Series 33 high performance 3-flute end mills for difficult materials and challenging applications are available with a corner radius, and are ideal for aggressive ramping, pocketing, and slotting of materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and Inconel. The open structure at the axial end accommodates material flow and load reduction during machining operations.

Features:

  • Stepped core design – Provides optimal chip control and rigidity when the flute is completely engaged
  • Unique variable geometry – Engineered variable helix and pitch configuration offer chatter and vibration suppression
  • Symmetrical end gashing – Superior balance combined with a high level of strength and ramping capabilities
