Laser Machines and Systems
NA Needle Drilling System
Drill up to 4 or 5 needles per second and get precise, consistent hole size and shape thanks to the combination of a laser with high pulse-to-pulse stability and a granite drilling platform.
Blind holes are automatically drilled, each with just a single long pulse that is precisely shaped so that the holes are smoothly drilled without undesirable thermal damage. Optimized for holes ranging from 50 to 750 μm diameter, with aspect ratios as high as 10:1.
