Ultrashort pulses, the key toproduct innovation
Ultrashort laser pulses below the materialelectron phonon relaxation time are thekey for cold material processing withoutany unwanted side-effects.
Cutting tiny NiTi shape memory alloyswith wall thicknesses of only a fewmicrons and bio-absorbable implantsmade of PLA/PLGA are already standardwith StarCut Tube Femto. What is more,the femtosecond laser‘s unprecedentedpreciseness paves the way for newmedical products with nano-structuredsurfaces.
Covering the femto and picosecondregime and offering wavelengths from1552 to 355 nm we have the optimumultrashort-pulsed solution for yourproduct innovation.
Benefits
� no heat affected zonesproven by metallographicalcross sections
� no burr or dross neither on beamentrance nor on exit side
� post processing steps reducedto minimum
� cutting the thinnest wall thicknesses� cutting of finest strut widths� perfect processing of
biodegradable materials likepolymers or magnesium alloys
Medical device manufacturers ask forimmaculate product quality with patentedrelaxation peak. With our StarFiber OEMlaser sources we went way beyondstandard fiber laser technology.
With outstanding repetition rates theyoffer almost twice the pulse peak powerfor a given pulse energy and thereforebetter beam penetration into the materi-al. This immediately pays off in sharpercutting edges and smoother cutting sur-faces – especially when cutting thickermaterial like nitinol up to 1 mm.
With short and stable switch-on delaytimes over the whole power range, theStarFiber OEM guarantees perfect andprecise cutting quality for sophisticatedmicro cutting applications with complexcutting geometries.
Benefits
� short pulse with high peak power,e.g. 600W peak at 0,15 mJ
� pulse frequency up to 170 kHz� super clean cut surface with sharp
cutting edges in thick material� pulse shaping � shortest switch-on delay time on
the market
