Oxford Lasers is a world leader in the provision of laser micromachining systems and services. Due to rapidly growing sub-contract demand from the electronics, bio-medical, automotive, semiconductor, sensor and other high technology sectors Oxford Lasers has commissioned a new laser micromachining facility for high volume production. At the same time, existing micromachining facilities are being upgraded to give even higher positional accuracy for certain extremely demanding applications.

Sub-contracting customers can take advantage of the latest infrared, visible and UV lasers with multi-axis part manipulation.

Trepanning heads, optical and electron microscopes, vision systems for part location, and CAD/CAM file conversion are all available for: - micro hole drilling: holes down to 1 micron diameter can be drilled in almost any material including stainless steel, hardened steel, refractory materials, ceramics, diamond, polyimide and ABS - micro cutting: cut widths down to 5 microns in almost any material - micro milling: feature sizes down to 5 microns Typical applications include: - production of bio-medical micro parts - drilling holes in chemical sensors - manufacture of fuel injector nozzles (both gasoline and diesel) - manufacture of semiconductor test components in alumina, silicon nitride or VespelTM - dicing and scribing silicon and sapphire wafers - drilling micro nozzles for microfluidic applications Oxford lasers team of specialist engineers can offer cost effective sub-contract micromachining services for batches of just few parts per month or many thousands of parts per week - all produced with equal care and precision.
