Laser micromachining plays a key role in the manufacture of components for detection and measurement technology, especially in the production of sensors, host components and calibration components that require high precision, miniaturisation and complex functionality. Components for testing and measurement technology are always getting smaller and smaller, and the components are becoming more and more sophisticated, while at the same time ensuring that they retain their increased functionality. In the production of these precision components, laser micromachining equipment is used in two areas, engraving and precision drilling.
Laser micromachining equipment can be used for high precision engraving of miniature sensors to achieve fine surface structures, patterns or markings. This is critical to the appearance and functional characteristics of the sensor. Sensors often require tiny holes to fulfil specific measurement functions. Laser micromachining technology allows for drilling holes on a micron scale, ensuring the accuracy and performance of the sensor. Master and calibration components are also critical to the precision and accuracy of measurement and detection systems. Laser micromachining equipment can be used for the high-precision manufacture of these components, ensuring that they meet tight tolerances.
Laser micromachining technology offers a highly precise and flexible solution in the manufacture of inspection and measurement technology components, helping to drive the development of miniaturised design and manufacture, and is an important catalyst for driving innovation and advances in inspection and measurement technology.
