At Gateway Laser we produce highly precise components with our laser micromachining capabilities for new applications including (please use the links below for more information):

Microfluidic Device: 3D micromachining of mixing chamber - Top view of channels (.0025" deep) and reservoirs (.005" deep) machined in sheet of polycarbonate (PC) material 25X75mm. o Medical Implant - Excimer Laser ablation 25mmX 25mm part from PEEK with pillars 500um tall. Distance between pillars is 500um. More than 50% of material was ablated to form the pattern.

Medical Devices: Laser Drilled Catheters - Catheter hole drilling using lasers is widely used when the hole size required is less than .010" or when patterning holes arrays in multi-lumen catheters. Laser machining provides a fast and highly repeatable hole drilling process with tolerances well below +/-.001". In each case, the combination of catheter material, wall thickness, hole size or geometry of hole arrays have to be carefully evaluated to determine the type of laser system and machining parameters that meet both manufacturing requirements.

Selective Scribing Using Excimer Laser System. - View shows laser scribing of 50um wide lines through multilayer metal coating (total metal thickness 5um) without damaging glass substrate. This method can be used to form electrodes, create metal particles or repair defects in metal on ceramics circuitry.

Laser drilling holes using disk laser system with assist gas. - 300um diameter orifice drilled in 1mm thick silicon wafer.

About Gateway Laser Services:

At Gateway Laser, we like to think of ourselves as more than just a laser cutting job shop. Our high resolution micromachining process allows us to produce very small features with unparalleled precision. Our laser cutting services are for those who must meet exacting standards requiring highly accurate dimensions and extremely tight tolerances.
