The patented Laser Microjet' principle The Laser Microjet The Laser MicroJet® is a hybrid method combining a laser beam with a low-pressure water jet, which cools the eut edges and provides effective débris removal from the kerf. The low-pressure water jet, emitted from the nozzle, gui­des the laser beam by means of total internai reflection at the water/air interface, in a manner similar to conventional glass fibres. It is therefore a "cold and clean laser" elimina-ting ail the known problems associated with dry lasers such as thermal damage, contamination, déformation, déposi­tion, oxidation, micro-cracks and lack of accuracy.
