Laser drilling

Our expertise

Single-shot drilling​

Single-shot drilling employs a single laser pulse to create each hole. This method allows for drilling as small as 0.025 mm, depending on the material properties and geometry. The typical ratio between wall thickness and drilling is 1:20.​

Percussion drilling​

In percussion drilling, both the laser beam and the workpiece remain stationary. The drilling process can involve single or continuous laser pulses, depending on the material. This technique also allows for holes as small as 0.025 mm, maintaining a wall thickness to drilling ratio of 1:20.​

Trepan drilling​

Trepan drilling involves moving the workpiece in a circular motion under a fixed laser beam, controlled by CNC. This technique is ideal for creating larger diameter holes, starting from 0.05 mm, with a similar wall thickness to drilling ratio of 1:20.​

How it works

Laser drilling removes material through localized melting and vaporization caused by a focused laser beam. The high energy density creates a small molten pool that is rapidly ejected by vapor pressure or assist gas, forming clean and precise holes. Parameters such as pulse energy, duration, and focus position are carefully controlled to achieve the desired hole geometry and quality.
