Excimer Lasers

Setting a new standard in excimer laser performance

IPEX-700 IPEX-800

State-of-the-art performance, high duty cycle operation

LightMachinery excimer lasers now feature exciPure ™ technology, introduced in 2016, exciPure represents the greatest improvement in excimer gas lifetime and reduction in operating costs in a generation

IPEX-700 Series

Designed for medium duty cycle operation in industrial and R&D environments, IPEX-700 Series lasers deliver high power ultraviolet laser machining combined with state-of-the-art performance. Incorporating LightMachinery’s proprietary ICON™ (Integrated Ceramic on Nickel) technology and now with exciPure, IPEX lasers offer extremely long gas lifetimes, superior optical stability and precise control of laser operating parameters. EasyClean automated valves fitted to the optics ports allow the laser chamber to be sealed and the gas fill / passivation to be retained while resonator optics are removed for cleaning and maintenance. Easy to use, simple to service and economical to operate, IPEX-700 lasers combine the benefits of high precision excimer processing with the lowest total cost of ownership and highest uptime in the market today.

IPEX-700 is ideal for applications such as pulsed laser deposition, PLD. The IPEX-700 can be operated from any PC, a Windows PC with a touchscreen interface is included for your convenience. - more about the IPEX-700 Series Lasers..

An excellent example of the quality and precision achieved by the excimer laser drilling plastic. This is 75 micron thick polyimide with 50 micron diameter holes.

Atmospheric monitoring LIDAR station in Canada's far north utilizes a LightMachinery IPEX excimer laser, it is a location where reliability is paramount

Wire stripping and hole drilling in a catheter using an IPEX excimer laser

Very precise stripping from gold contact pads using an IPEX laser with a highly specialized Offner projection lens to pattern around a dozen devices in one go, with step & repeat for rows of devices. Edges are precise to <1.5µm, and note lack of debris using Coax He nozzle.

Ceramic chip capacitor marking, very small character sizes, high throughput, good contrast on most ceramics. Excimer marking is normally integrated into an automated test handler.
