ML-5

Achieve excellent edge and surface quality and straight sidewalls

Machine perfect holes and other features in seconds, thanks to the industry-leading ML-5 ultrafast Laser micromachining platform’s combination of part handling, motion control, and real-time positioning feedback. At the same time, achieve ultrahigh surface and edge quality, thanks to this solution’s ability to machine a wide range of materials with no tool wear and no heat-affected zone.

Optimize your setup and processing time

Take your micromachining to new levels of quality, autonomy and productivity with this solution’s integrated measurement and vision system. Automatic part position inspection and real-time feedback advance your quality and accuracy, less operator time is required, and you become more productive because all steps are achieved in one setup.

Maintain consistently stable quality

Unique granite-based mechanical design. Get the enhanced productivity that comes from achieving high and constant speed, thanks to this solution’s core design principle: short structural loops for a low center of gravity. Granite delivers thermal stability due to its low thermal expansion coefficient.

Achieve ultimate results

Say goodbye to heat-affected zones (HAZ) and be ready to seize new market opportunities, thanks to the finishing quality enabled by this solution’s combination of femtosecond Laser and a five-axis scanning head.

Increase your unattended production time

Ramp up your autonomy with this automation-ready platform. Profit from lower operating costs due to reduced operator time, higher machine uptime and output per square meter, and an optimized workflow.

Machine specifications

Zero heat-affected zones (HAZ)

Achieve perfect microholes in seconds and produce medical devices in a single process thanks to the reduced heat-affected zone (HAZ) enabled by femtosecond Laser. Engrave a wide range of materials—burr-free.

±1 µm positioning accuracy

Get the enhanced productivity that is a direct result of this machine’s unique, granite-based mechanical design incorporating short structural loops.

Zero-degree taper

The special five-axis scanner programming allows adjustment of “attack angles” for straight walls, despite the hourglass-shaped force beam.

1 µm repeatability

Achieve repeatable precision and quality due to ironless linear motors in combination with high-resolution glass scales.

Ensure consistent cutting processes

Achieve consistent accuracy, reduce your machining time, and ramp up your creativity. With this flexible solution, you’ll maintain accuracy through the depth of each cut, slash your machining time, and easily integrate new designs.
