An Expert and Efficient Guide to Laser Micromachining for 2020
Laserod Incorporated was founded by Rod Waters in the mid 1990s, succeeding Florod, a company established by Waters and a partner in the 1970s.

Laser cutting or laser micromachining are applied to various types of materials where complicated contours require precise, quick, and force-free processing. Lasers produce narrow kerfs and thereby accomplish high-precision cuts. This process does not display any distortion, and in several cases, post-processing is not required as the component is subjected to only a small heat input and can largely cut dross-free.

Almost all types of metal can be laser-micromachined, such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, which are perhaps the most common applications. Other laser-cut components are made of wood, plastics, glass, and ceramics. Compared to traditional methods such as die-cutting, laser cutting is a cost-effective method. The main advantage of laser micromachining is the localized laser energy input, which provides small focal diameters, tiny kerf widths, high feed rate, and low heat input.

Cutting glass with traditional, mechanical methods such as diamond scribing and breaking leads to significant drawbacks due to its low scribing quality (micro-cracks, chipping) and accuracy. Generally, several additional time-consuming processing methods, such as grinding, masking, and etching, are required to eliminate the damage caused by mechanical processes, as well as ultimately achieving the required tolerance of the outer dimensions of the components.

Previously mentioned disadvantages can be averted by using a laser for the glass-cutting operation. Based on the structure and specifications, e.g., for cutting edge accuracy, we provide various laser micromachining services for cutting glass and other materials. When processing delicate components that involve lightweight thin-glass or light and high-strength glass cutting, e.g., in the electronics sector, Laserod Technologies is the first and right choice of the industry.
