Picosecond Laser Micro-Ablation Machine
Picosecond Laser Micro-Ablation Machine for Ultrafast, High-Precision Micro-Machining Applications
As manufacturing shifts toward ultra-precision, miniaturisation, and non-contact processing, the Picosecond Laser Micro-Ablation Machine has become a critical tool for advanced micro-machining. Using ultrashort picosecond laser pulses, this system enables controlled material removal with exceptional accuracy and minimal thermal impact. Unlike conventional machining or long-pulse lasers, picosecond laser ablation preserves surrounding material integrity while achieving clean, sharp micro-features. Designed for demanding industrial and R&D environments, this technology supports high-precision processing across electronics, medical devices, aerospace, automotive, and energy applications.
Understanding Picosecond Laser Micro-Ablation Machine
A Picosecond Laser Micro-Ablation Machine operates by delivering extremely short laser pulses—measured in trillionths of a second—to remove material through cold ablation rather than melting. This process limits heat diffusion, ensuring precise, repeatable micro-structuring without cracks, burrs, or recast layers. Integrated CNC motion, high-accuracy positioning, and intuitive control software allow complex 2D and 3D patterns to be produced with micron-level precision. The result is a versatile, high-speed micro-machining platform suitable for delicate substrates, multilayer structures, and high-value components.
