Designed for Scanning Lasers
Scanning Laser Workstations combine the flexibility of a scanned laser beam delivery with a configurable multi-axis part motion system typically configured with high-pulse rate lasers.
- Compatible with a broad range of low and mid-power lasers
- Scanning system optics to suit the application
- Configurable motion system takes advantage of scanner coverage area (typically 100 × 100 mm)
- Laser source located inside the workstation
- Single user interface for all machine control, including laser, scanner and part-motion system
Configurable Motion System
With a selection of stage systems, customers purchase the exact capabilities for their specific applications:.
- X-Y Stages Optional – 250 × 250 mm
- Z Stage Optional – manual and automatic options
- Rotary Stage options for A or C axes
- Requirements for additional motion axes are minimized by matching scanner capabilities to the process
Broad Range of Lasers for Process Optimization
All material-laser interactions are different. Choose the best IPG laser source to match the specific application:
- Infrared CW and QCW lasers – thin film metal welding or foil cutting
- Infrared nanosecond lasers – metal foil cutting, welding, marking and engraving
- Green and UV nanosecond lasers – processing polymers, glass and ceramics
- Picosecond and femtosecond lasers – typically for very heat sensitive materials, cutting, ablation and marking
Compact Footprint
Ideal for environments with limited space:
- 840 mm (33 in) × 1240 mm (48 in) footprint
- Fits through standard sized doorways for easy roll-in installation
- Lasers up to 1500 W typically mounted inside cabinet
- Lasers up to 700 W air cooled – requires no additional floor space for chillers
Powerful Control Software
- Integrated laser, scanner and motion system control
- Vision recognition for accurate pattern placement
- Support of process variables and conditional programming for easy teaching of complex applications
- HMI follows SEMI E95 standards
Scanning Laser Workstation Software
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.
Software Designed for Maximum Flexibility
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.
