High-Resolution Laser Micromachining

From Gateway Laser Services
 

 

St. Louis, MO - Gateway Laser Services utilizes a high-resolution laser micromachining process to micromachine "very small parts" with feature sizes down to 0.001 inch and tolerances to ± 0.0002 inch. Such high levels of precision are a key advantage of the laser process, which Gateway uses for micromachining of metals and alloys, silicones, ceramics, silicon wafers, and various polymers, including polyimides for flex circuits. According to Mario Vaenburg, business development manager, the company is able to drill holes so small that they are difficult to see with the naked eye.
