What is Laser drilling？
Laser drilling is a non-contact process where the workpiece and tool do not come into contact with each other. Laser drilling is highly accurate and repeatable, using a highly concentrated beam to achieve precise drilling in a variety of materials such as metals, non-metals, and polymers. It can drill holes of almost any shape and size, with diameters as small as a few microns. Working Principle of a Laser Drilling
Using high-power laser pulses or oscillating drilling technology, laser drilling can penetrate thinner or thicker materials, and can accurately control the depth and size of the hole. Depending on the material properties, laser drilling can drill hundreds or even thousands of holes per second with high resolution.
Advantages of Laser Drilling
Accuracy and repeatability：Laser drilling is a precise and non-destructive hole-making process that produces straight, smooth holes with close tolerances.
High drilling speed：Depending on the material properties, the laser drilling speed can reach hundreds or even thousands of holes per second.
High pore resolution：Laser drilling technology can achieve micron-level accuracy between adjacent holes and drill thousands of holes within an area of one square centimeter, thereby manufacturing precision parts with high hole resolution.
High aspect ratio holes：Laser drilling uses a non-contact process that avoids deflection and undesirable hole taper, allowing for precise machining of high aspect ratio holes.
Flexible processes:Laser drilling can produce holes of almost any shape and size on flat and inclined surfaces. It is a highly flexible hole processing technology that can be widely used in various scenarios.
Application
With the popularity of high-density layer circuit boards, the demand for blind holes continues to increase, and the application of laser drilling methods is increasing.
Laser drilling is a highly productive, high-quality hole-making method for a variety of industries from filter drilling to medical, with materials including metals, ceramics, glass, and even delicate polymers.
