Laser Ablation

Selective laser ablation is applied where material needs to be removed without damage to surrounding areas. Ablation processes are needed for applications that require a minimal heat effective zone. This process is accomplished with the use of computer controlled ultra-short pulse lasers that provide precision depth control of fine details. The ablation process produces a clean feature that is delivered without heat damage. Precise ablation is required in many areas of Industrial production. Different applications require different laser wavelength, pulse width and laser process parameters. Mundt will select the laser to match the customer’s requirements allowing the customer to use a wider range of materials.
