Nova Drilling Services Selects Custom Laser Drill from Nano System
June 2, 2015 | Nano SystemEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nano System has recently received an order from Nova Drilling Services for a custom UV/CO2 laser drilling machine to be built at Nano System’s made-to-order laser application facility in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Nova Drilling is receiving increased requests from their customers for small via laser drilling for variety of materials. Nova Drilling will be capable of supporting these customer requirements because the new machine, which will be built on the NS1-3200 series laser processing platform, will be equipped with both a UV and CO2 laser source. The NS1-3200 series is an industrial platform that allows Nano System to tailor each system to fit the specific needs of the customer's process and will be configured for maximum production throughput.
Utilizing a state of the art machine control architecture and NC interface, the NS1-3200 will control and synchronize laser interpolated firing across multiple axes of motion. This will provide unprecedented accuracy for drilling, skiving, trimming and thin film patterning processes. The platform will also provide Nova Drilling with stability for existing operations as well as flexibility for the future growth as technology shifts with future laser developments.
Nova Drilling Services’ Vice President Mike Doherty comments, ”Nova Drilling and Fabrication has been working with Sam Sekine for over 25 years, purchasing vision and drilling machines. We are looking forward to our purchase of the UV/C02 Laser Drill and Router from Nano System that will take our laser service to the next level.”
