Industrial Laser Drilling Head SLH200 from Steinmeyer Mechatronik

The Laser Drilling Head SLH200 fromm Steinmeyer Mechatronik is able to drill micro holes with an exactly defined geometry in different materials. The principle of the drill head is based on rotating and tilting optics that shape and focus the beam. Thus, the trepanning optics system allows drilling of micro holes with an exactly defined geometry. This can be a straight cylindrical shape, a positive taper or a negative taper. The drilling of micro holes with a minimum diameter of 60 µm is suitable for a variety of materials. Drilling in steel and alloy materials is as easy as drilling in ceramics or silicon. The drilling head is available with a special double coating for the two wavelengths 532 and 1064.

The laser drilling head was specially designed for industrial applications. Using a robust alloy structure, combined with high precision air bearings, provides highest repeatability and accuracy for well-defined bore geometries. The optics are positioned by two stepper motors to realize a parallel offset of the center and also a well-defined inclination angle. The precise mechanical components, produced and assembled in-house, in combination with the air bearing enable high repeatability and accuracy for well-defined bore geometries. The parameters can be defined and changed on the fly.

Steinmeyer Mechatronik provides simple but powerful set-up software. By simply connecting the laser drilling head to a computer the user is able to control the most important functions such as rotational speed, parallel offset and inclination angle. All settings can be changed on the fly during operation. The benefit is the very short positioning time, within a few milliseconds. A programmable sequence enables you to define a list of parameters which will be operated step by step automatically. Thus an evaluation of the drilling head is as easy as possible. For integration into your machine controller Steinmeyer Mechatronics provides a comprehensive software interface.
