Scanning Laser Workstation
Low to Mid-Power Fiber Laser System for Welding,
Cutting, Marking and Cleaning
The Scanning Laser Workstation is designed for high-speed processing of smaller parts such as medical devices and microelectronics that require a laser beam to be scanned over the part surface. Typically, applications including ablation, cleaning, marking or cutting of thin films utilize lasers that have high pulse rates. IPG lasers categorized as green or UV, or having nanosecond, picosecond or femtosecond pulse durations provide the widest processing capabilities.

The Chroma.NET system control software for IPG’s Scanning Laser Workstations is used for drilling, cutting, patterning and marking of parts by microelectronics and medical device industries. Developed to support a wide range of laser types with complex control capabilities, Chroma.NET is characterized by its powerful support of process variables and conditional programming through Macro language.
The use of Macro language allows for teaching of complex applications. This flexibility gives customers the ability to change the machines behavior, so it is not restricted to the single application for which it was purchased and to assess the quality of a part as it is being machined; making almost real-time adjustments to machining parameters to maximize yield.
Unlike traditional control software that addresses one specific process, the Chroma.NET software is designed for maximum flexibility; providing ease of use, a single-interface system control, and powerful conditional logic processing that delivers unmatched system adaptability and performance.
Chroma.NET is developed from a 20-year IPG history that includes laser systems design, machining system control and operations in a commercial contract manufacturing environment. Written in the Microsoft.NET framework for maximum reliability, it has been developed to meet the combined goals of maximizing system processing performance and simplifying recipe generation and operator-level controls, while extending the range of applications covered by the company’s multi-laser micromachining workstations.
