VULQ1 Module for micromachining

Enjoy the full potential of your femtosecond laser

What is a VULQ1 module for micromaching ?

The VULQ1 system is a sub-system in the laser machine design, offering programmable multibeam processing capabilities.

It needs to be operated with an external laser source.

The VULQ1 module is composed of three main components :

  • VULQ1 optical head : VULQhead
  • VULQ1 controller : VULQontrol
  • VULQ1 software : BeamForge, stand-alone or API version for integration

There is 1 VULQ1 module dedicated to industrial micromachining, operating in the NIR regime (see table 1)

  • High-speed surface texturing
  • High-speed micro-drilling
  • Beam quality management along laser lifetime

Unique features

  • Unique combination of throughput and quality with flexible multibeam processing
  •  Straightforward creation and management of custom Laser Light Tools
  • Integrated beam cleaning and beam quality management functions

Customer benefits

  • Outstanding value for money: 10% investment = 400% productivity
  • Boundless possibilities for process optimization with programmable Laser Light Tools
  • Homogeneous standard product line performance with beam cleaning
  • Maximum uptime with remote beam quality management

VULQ1 Software : BeamForge

BeamForge makes it easy for you to access the full power of multibeam laser processing.
BeamForge includes many powerful yet simple functions :

PixMap 

  • an interactive multi-beam pattern creation tool, allowing point-to-point energy control – exclusive to BeamForge

Code 2D

  • Automatic 2D code generation tool : Datamatrix, QR code, dotcode
    Tools for automatic generation of multi-beam patterns from alphanumeric characters or images.

Optimization

  • Tools for optimizing the multi-beam pattern : rotation, dilation, symmetry, …
    Control tools for development : preview, distance measurement

Quality

  • Beam Quality Control functions, for optimal quality throughout the life of the laser solution

Customized bank

  • Export/import functions to create a custom multi-beam tool bank and recall it when needed
