- 2. Miniaturization is a clear trend today and the accuracy of features is becoming even more crucial, as manufacturers are challenged to deliver precision parts, to get higher final product performance and to effectively control the price per part. GF Machining Solutions offers the industry’s most complete line of micromachining Laser platforms optimized for small, high precision features to meet the increasing need for the smaller, smarter parts to support today’s leading edge products. Higher performance in smaller devices Machining for a shrinking world Experience clean, lightning-fast machining while maintaining high accuracy and productivity, with femtosecond Laser technology. Ultrashort pulsed Laser machining produces no heat-affected zone, delivering perfect microholes in seconds and producing medical devices in a single process. Burr-free engraving of a wide range of materials, from steel, aluminum, carbide, brass, graphite and copper to gemstones, ceramics and polymers, is at your fingertips today. Femto’s advantages Machining at the speed of the light Medical Advancing medical technology Minimally invasive surgery limits in- cision size, reducing hospitalization and healing times and associated pain and risk of infection. This medi- cal trend drives demand for smaller implants and medical devices as well as emerging demand for microparts. Regulatory and margin pressures asso- ciated with miniaturization push manu- facturers to look for new technologies. GF Machining Solutions offers a new class of high-precision Laser microma- chining platforms ideal for the medi- cal device manufacturing industry. Our solutions answer medical device man- ufacturers’ needs : higher productiv- ity, better quality and compliance with stringent regulations. ML-5 Increase machining quality and repeatability The ML-5 is industry’s leading ultra- fast Laser micromachining platform, combining exceptional part handling, motion control and real-time positional feedback to deliver microholes and oth- er features with ultrahigh surface and edge quality. • Five-axis scanning head • Five mechanical axis • Real-time part characterization and validation Automotive Boosting auto performance Automakers envisioned getting more combustion out of the same amount of fuel if they could engineer fuel injector spray flow, angle, droplet size, and fuel mass. The designs were there, but the holes could not be machined to specifi- cations with existing solutions. GF Machining Solutions’ ultrafast Laser platform changed everything, de- livering precision microholes on new generations of fuel injectors that im- prove performance to help meet gov- ernment emissions regulations and satisfy customers. MLTC Simplify complex machining processes The MLTC is an ultrafast Laser tube cut- ting platform that quickly and accurately machines complex features in metal and polymer tubes with extreme preci- sion for the medical device industry and for other applications, eliminating most or all post-processing. • Cosed-loop measurement • Bar feeder Watches Running like a Swiss watch The movement of an automatic watch consists of hundreds of extremely small tight-tolerance components. These components have always been difficult to manufacture due to their size, intricacy, and precision require- ments. With GF Machining Solutions, watchmakers have found the ideal so- lution for producing parts at lower costs and with faster cycle times, increasing manufacturers’ productivity. Ultrafast Laser solutions provide speed, accuracy, and quality advantages over traditional micromachining solutions. MLDS Boost your productivity The MLDS is a dual-station micro machining platform delivering the same speed, accuracy and quality as our ul- trafast Laser platforms for high-volume applications. It is available in dual Laser or hybrid mechanical Spindle ultrafast Laser configurations. • Five-axis scanning head • Two active machining stations • Embedded part measurement and adjustment • Pick and place automation 1 mm 0.039 in 1 mm 0.039 in 1 mm 0.039 in
