bgLAB – Standalone Laser Micromachining Workstation
- XY travel
- 120 × 120 mm
- XY accuracy
- < 2 µm
- Wavelength
- 1064 – 266 nm
- Pulse duration
- 100 ns – 200 fs
This easy to use standalone laser workstation is manufactured using the highest quality components. Furthermore, this platform meets the most exacting standards, but is small footprint and affordable. This was achieved by using just two automated positioning axes, the others being manually adjustable, which is adequate for many surface-based applications. However, this direct drive stage-based system still allows manufacturing of sub 10 micron features. It can be combined with almost any DPSS laser source and run with pulse durations from ns to fs range as well as with wavelengths from IR to UV depending on your laser application. System control is achieved using industry popular software solutions.
The result is that even non laser experts can operate the system.
bgLAB is a perfect tool for university and high school laboratories as well as for small job shops and startups who are just beginning their journey into the fascinating world of laser manufacturing technology.
