JPSA Expands Microprocessing Capabilities

JP Sercel Associates Inc. (JPSA), a Manchester, N.H., provider of laser services and industrial ultraviolet laser technology, has expanded its microprocessing capabilities with new Class 10000 cleanroom

facilities and an IX-200 galvanometer-equipped laser material processing workstation. It said its job shop also offers expanded optics testing capability in an adjoining solid-state laboratory. Rick Slagle, sales and marketing director, said, “Our new cleanroom is essential for demanding medical and biomedical manufacturing applications . . . particularly with 193 and 248-nm wavelength processing.” The IX-200 “galvo” step-and-scan workstation can operate at 266, 532 and 1064-nm wavelengths and is suitable for applications including glass marking, high-speed hole or via drilling, and high-speed precision cutting, among other applications. JPSA shop performs wafer singulation and LED lift-off for the semiconductor packaging industry and micromachining of materials for biomedical research and medical product manufacturing.

Glossary

galvanometer: A galvanometer is an instrument used for detecting and measuring small electric currents. It typically consists of a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field, with a pointer attached to the coil. When an electric current flows through the coil, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the external magnetic field, causing the coil to rotate. This rotation is proportional to the strength of the current passing through the coil. Galvanometers can be used in various applications,...
laser materials processing: Laser materials processing refers to a diverse set of manufacturing techniques that utilize lasers to modify, cut, weld, drill, or otherwise manipulate materials. These techniques offer high precision, speed, and flexibility, making them invaluable in various industries. Principles: Laser materials processing relies on the interaction between high-intensity laser beams and materials. When a laser beam is directed onto a material surface, it can heat, melt, vaporize, or ablate the...
nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
