Laser Micro-machining

MAISI features state-of-the-art laser technology for cutting and welding various materials. With a working area of up to 300 x 300 mm² and a motion range of ± 100 mm, equipped with a high-precision rotary chuck designed for tubes starting from 2 mm diameter, our unit ensures flexibility and precision in fabricating critical components for medical devices.

Application examples: Hermetic packages such as pacemakers or neurostimulators.

Equipment available:

  • Optek’s MM2500 platform, custom designed for cutting and welding applications, equipped with a quasi-continuous wave (QCW) fibre laser, operating in the near infrared wave length and with 150W of power.
  • Lotus desktop laser machine to engrave precious metal, equipped with a 30W MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) fibre laser.
  • Fisherbrand P-Series ultrasonic cleaner, heated, multi-frequency (37 kHz and 80kHz) and chemical resistant.
  • Electro polishing set-up (in-house development), for requirements up to 300W.

Laser Machining Capabilities

MAISI has a fleet of laser machining equipment to enable the processing of metallic, ceramic and polymer components. A comprehensive range of laser powers and sources including diode pumped solid state and Ytterbium doped optical fibre allow for an array of applications including welding, cutting and marking.
