Oct 2025SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2025 — Aerotech Inc., a specialist in precision motion control and automation, is collaborating with Light Conversion, a developer of femtosecond lasers and laser systems, in a state-of-the-art 4300 sq ft R&D facility located in Sunnyvale, Calif. The lab, which Light Conversion opened earlier this year, will feature a custom laser scanning and motion control system from Aerotech for use in high-precision applications in semiconductor, electronics, medical device manufacturing and other industries. 

Incorporating Light Conversion’s CARBIDE 80W femtosecond laser, the Aerotech laser processing system features an AGV-HPO high-dynamic laser scan head for high-speed acceleration and processing with minimal trajectory error. Coupled with high-tech linear and rotary stages, this system is highly flexible, accurate, and reliable for processing round, tubular, or flat parts used in microfabrication, laser cutting, laser joining, laser texturing and laser marking. 

The companies plan to jointly demonstrate novel processes and capabilities, particularly for semiconductor and medical device applications.

Located in Silicon Valley, the laboratory is designed to facilitate testing and development of precision laser processing applications including cutting, drilling, marking and material modification. In addition to laser processing capabilities, the facility features microscopes and other diagnostic tools to evaluate samples.More news & features
