What is Laser MicroJet?

Laser MicroJet is an advanced precision machining technology that uses a microlaser beam enveloped in a column of water. This water-enclosed laser beam results in a ‘pillar’ of laser energy. The waterjet reflects the outward beams and simultaneously cools the workpiece.

These unique features make LMJ a popular alternative versus other technologies, and it is not just about machining metal. In fact, this innovative technology makes it possible to machine most materials with extreme precision ranging from conductive metals, semiconductors, and ceramics to even insulators like diamonds, plastics, and composite materials.

What are the advantages of LMJ?

Advantages of Laser MicroJet include superior speed and accuracy. Unlike traditional laser cutting that is only possible on a flat surface, LMJ offers new possibilities for cutting into three-dimensional objects. Angled cuts are made with laser diameters from 30 to 80 microns.

Promising application areas for this technique include the medical, energy, and metal and diamond processing industries. At Ter Hoek, we typically machine materials up to a thickness of 5 millimeters using LMJ. Thicker materials are also possible – please submit a special request for this.
