Application areas of Laser micromachining<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ultrashort pulse lasers are an established tool in laser technology for micromachining components with the highest precision. Due to the outstanding characteristic properties of these lasers, there are more and more applications in the most varied areas of material processing – in particular in microstructuring, micro-drilling, fine cutting and the functionalization of surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mostly clear quality advantages of USP processing compared to established processing methods and also known laser methods are the main reason for switching to this technology. Lateral resolutions of a few micrometers and a depth resolution of less than one micrometer allow a wide variety of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
