Solafab II is built on femtosecond laser micromachining technology, which utilizes ultrafast laser pulses to achieve precise material processing with minimal heat impact. Here’s a breakdown of the key technologies involved:
- Femtosecond Laser Source: The system generates laser pulses lasting only a few quadrillionths of a second (femtoseconds). These ultrashort pulses enable cold ablation, where material is removed without significant thermal effects, preventing unwanted melting or damage.
- Beam Scanning & Control: Solafab II incorporates advanced beam scanning capabilities that allow for highly precise and adaptable machining. This can include galvanometer-based scanning for rapid beam movement or programmable optical elements for beam shaping.
- Enhanced Material Interaction: The system’s more powerful laser and increased energy density improve processing speeds and expand the range of materials it can handle. It supports everything from delicate thin films to bulk materials up to 1 mm thick.
- Work Area & Automation: With a larger work area than its predecessor, Solafab II accommodates more complex machining tasks and integrates automation features for improved efficiency—ideal for both R&D and mid-volume production environments.
