Microlution MLDS

GF Machining Solutions offers the Microlution MLDS, the next generation in femtosecond laser processing systems. The dual-station/dual-part laser machining center provides extremely high laser “on time” via measurement and
loading functions performed as parallel processes alongside machining operations.

Microlution ML-10 Femtosecond Laser Machine

The GF Machining Solutions Microlution ML-10 is a femtosecond solution for industries ranging from automotive to medical. As an economical and highly capable micron-scale machining system, the ML-10 performs microscale holemaking and fine cutting without the creation of heat affected zones (HAZ). The machine’s compact, high-performance, ultrafast laser reduces cycle times and tooling costs to enable the production of precision parts in seconds.

excelliSCAN 20 Scan System

SCANLAB GmbH is extending its premium-segment product family with the excelliSCAN 20. This new scan system targets exceptionally demanding applications such as micromachining and additive manufacturing (3D printing). The excelliSCAN family’s well-known advantages – smart servo control technology, a universal tuning and optimized cooling – will be supplemented via the new scanner with its larger 20mm aperture.

GF Machining Solutions unveils Laser S series machines

GF Machining Solutions introduced the AgieCharmilles Laser S series machines to its North American audience at a special event held earlier this month at the company's Lincolnshire, Illinois, location. On display was the Laser S 1000 U, which the company predicted would help manufacturers advance productivity, quality, design freedom, and time to market—all while reducing cost-per-part in markets such as automotive, packaging, and communications technology.

LASORTING for Cutting, Sorting and Storage of Sheet Metal

Recently acquired by Mitsubishi Electric Corp., ASTES4, a company based in Switzerland, specializes in the development of automated sorting solutions for sheet metal laser processing machines. ASTES4 has developed LASORTING – the first fully integrated system for the cutting, sorting and storage of sheet metal to streamline processes, speed up production and reduce labor costs.

ExactCut Micromachining Systems

The first offering in Coherent’s new ExactSeries of fine materials processing equipment, ExactCut micromachining systems combine intelligence, integration and interconnectivity for precision cutting of metals, alloys, sapphire, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and ceramics. To significantly reduce integration and qualification time, ExactCut ships with preprogrammed process parameters for the desired application.
