Laserporaus

Laserporaus is a manufacturing process that uses a laser beam to create holes in various materials. This technique falls under the broader category of laser machining. The laser beam is focused to a very small spot, concentrating its energy and allowing for precise material removal through melting, vaporization, or ablation. The depth and diameter of the hole are controlled by factors such as laser power, pulse duration, wavelength, and the material's properties.

The process is highly accurate and repeatable, making it suitable for producing small and intricate holes that might be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional drilling methods. Materials commonly processed by laser drilling include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Applications are found in numerous industries, such as electronics for creating circuit boards, aerospace for manufacturing engine components, and medical device production for precise instrumentation.

Advantages of laser drilling include its non-contact nature, which avoids mechanical stress on the workpiece, its ability to drill very small holes, and the absence of tool wear. However, it can be a slower process compared to some mechanical methods for larger holes, and the initial equipment cost can be significant. Material-specific parameters must be carefully chosen to optimize the process and achieve desired results without causing excessive heat-affected zones or damage.
