Product catalog summary
Key Benefits
  • The LaserMill system provides precise and repeatable results for a variety of applications, from simple holes to complex patterns.
  • It features intuitive software controls that are easy to master without training.
  • The system is a compact, solid-state laser alternative to excimer lasers, avoiding toxic gases and instability.
  • It offers switchable wavelengths to optimize results for different materials.
  • It is designed to have the lowest cost of ownership.
Capabilities
  • Allows in-process viewing of the workpiece for complete control over machining operations.
  • Enables setting of cut sizes and shapes via a rotating XY aperture down to 2µm width.
  • Supports importing CAD/CAM .dxf files for machining complex patterns.
  • Energy density can be regulated up to 25J/cm2 for challenging samples or near zero for delicate ones.
  • Features a 100 x 100mm stage area with Sample Mapping function for navigation.
  • Optional vacuum chuck holds wafers, film, and sheet stock flat for uniform machining.
Support
  • New Wave Research provides global support and services through regional offices in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Shanghai, and Taiwan.
Specifications
  • Laser: Self-cooled, solid-state Nd:YAG.
  • Energy density: Variable from 0 to 25J/cm2 at 532nm and 0 to 7J/cm2 at 355nm.
  • Pulses per second: 1-50Hz, including single shot, burst, and continuous modes.
  • Cut sizes: Continuously adjustable rotating XY apertures.
  • Video Microscope: 6X zoom with features down to 2µm.
  • X-Y Stages: 100 x 100mm travel with 1µm resolution.
  • Z Stage: 25mm travel with 1µm resolution.
  • System Dimensions: 30” x 18” footprint.
  • Optional Cart Dimensions: 24” x 33” footprint.
  • Optional Vacuum Chuck: 2” diameter with 3” physical dimension.
Applications
  • Suitable for MEMS, bioMEMS, apertures, orifices, catheters, masks, micro-fluidics, sensors, ink-jet nozzles, filters, and complex patterning.
Site Requirements
  • Power: 100-120 or 200-240 VAC 50/60 Hz.
  • Ambient Temperature: 15° - 25° C (59° - 77° F).
  • Wafer vacuum: 10-15 inches of Hg.
  • Vacuum for debris removal: Flow rate of 10 cfm and vacuum level of 60” of water through a ½" ID tube.
Additional Information
  • The LaserMill is a turn-key solution with a solid-state YAG laser, 2 1/2-axis stages, and a video-microscope with zoom magnification, all software-controlled.
  • It is ideal for prototyping, short-runs, R&D, and pilot line development, ready to use out of the crate.
  • Offers tangible returns by performing functions similar to those offered by contract job shops, saving time and money.
  • Features a multi-wavelength advantage, allowing wavelength changes with one click to suit different materials.
