A-Laser Provides Laser Cutting Service Applications for UV Systems

BEAVERTON, OR — November 2009 — A-Laser, a division of FCT Assembly and a premier laser cutting service specializing in the ablation of ultra-thin metals and plastics, provides laser cutting service applications for UV systems.

UV laser applications have grown and will continue to do so as tolerances tighten and part profiles shrink. Laser cut shims, spacers, masks, contact housings and more are becoming mainstream applications. A-Laser’s laser cutting service has the equipment and experience to provide for the various markets needing these precision parts.

“Our UV laser systems enable us to achieve a level of intricacy that is unmatched by other laser cutting services,” said Josh Saunders, VP of FCT Assembly’s Parts Division.

Laser cutting in the UV frequency produces incredibly fine features, precisely cut, and with minimal thermal influence or carbon residue. UV laser cutting is an ablation process, basically exploding rather melting the material. These systems are mainly used for production of non-metal parts, but A-Laser has also achieved results with ultra thin metal parts.
