The Challenge

Precision machined glass is incorporated into a wide variety of technologically sophisticated products, including medical devices, life sciences instrumentation, semiconductor tools, and consumer electronics. That’s because glass has a unique and particularly advantageous combination of physical properties. These include good mechanical strength, liquid and gas impermeability, optical transparency, low fluorescence, scratch resistance, thermally stability, chemical resistance, and biocompatibility. In many of these applications there is an increasing demand for glass components with ever smaller and more precise features – specifically complex, high aspect ratio microstructures, often including curved shapes. But, traditional glass machining methods, such as mechanical and waterjet cutting, and chemical etching can’t deliver what’s needed. While 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 ablation can do it, it’s not cost-effective at marketing enabling speeds.

The Solution

Theultra-short pulse (USP) 에볼루션 바카라 사이트has emerged as the only economically viable means to achieve the kind of cuts and microstructures in glass and other transparent brittle materials that advanced designs now require. There are two distinct processes involved. The first is filamentation cutting – a process invented by Citrogene founder Dr. Abbas Hosseini. This utilizes a USP infrared (IR) 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 to create a line of microscopic voids extending through the entire thickness of the glass. A series of these void “filaments” is produced in the desired cut pattern, and these weaken the glass, enabling it to be cleaning separated. High-speed cutting of curves and insets, without taper, can be performed with filamentation. The second process is microstructuring – creating wells, blind holes, channels, and other shapes, used in applications such as microfluidics. This is accomplished through high-speed cutting and ablation with a UV USP 에볼루션 바카라 사이트.

The Result

C에볼루션 바카라 사이트rogene uses a 100 W IRHyperRapid NXfor filamentation cutting and through-hole cutting. (에볼루션 바카라 사이트 hole cutting is followed by Citrogene’s own, proprietary post-processing). A 30 W UVHyperRapid NXT에볼루션 바카라 사이트 is utilized for microstructuring. “We chose the Coherent IR 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 for several reasons,” notes Citrogene VP Mike Armas. “One key thing is that It supports ‘burst mode,’ which is critical to filamentation. But reliability was also essential to us; that 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 is our workhorse, and we run it for 18 hours every day. For the UV 에볼루션 바카라 사이트, we really saw Coherent as the only option. No other 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 maker delivers the level of UV reliability that Coherent achieves, and that’s vital to our operation. Also, service and support were just as important to us as 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 specifications. Coherent is our partner; they keep our line running and never let us down.”
