JPSA Introduces IX-1100 Industrial-grade Excimer Laser Micromachining System



Hollis, New Hampshire, USA - J P Sercel Associates' new IX-1100 Excimer Laser Micromachining System, based on the highly successful IX-1000, features high-precision air bearing stages, a lower and more ergonomic structure, advanced excimer lasers with soft pre-ionization, integrated COMO (Coordinated Opposing Motion) mask indexing air bearing stages, new beam homogenizers and imaging lenses, and many other new features. The new IX-1100 is a compact, Class 1 excimer laser workstation designed for high throughput, production micro-machining. Designed and ruggedly constructed for industrial use, this precise UV laser system is built to perform with minimal downtime and maximum flexibility.

Complex shapes and patterns can be machined across a wide range of materials, due to the unique characteristics of its powerful excimer laser beam, beam delivery system (BDS), and range of working UV wavelengths - down to 157nm. Beam homogenization and near-field imaging allow multiple simultaneous micro-machining processes for optimum yields. Its high pulse repetition rate ensures rapid processing, and its precision motion and positioning components ensure repeatability and exceptional quality. The IX-1100 incorporates a totally integrated design in only 4 feet x 8 feet of floor space. This system provides multi-axis motion control with sub-micron resolution stages and integrated laser control.

The IX-1100 is also equipped with JPSA's new CAD conversion software, a powerful tool that gives the user the ability to quickly and easily read Autocad, dwg and dwx files - all the way up to Autocad version 2005 - and generate macro processes and programs to perform direct write functions. The software utility will process lines, arcs, circles, points, and polylines, and produce direct writing on a variety of substrates directly from the CAD file information.

The IX-1100 system includes PC-controlled power meters and beam profilometer, an Automatic Door Class 1 system, industrial-grade reliability with R&D flexibility, and the system is controlled via JPSA's user-friendly SystemControls32(TM), Windows 2000®-based software.

JPSA products and services include UV excimer and DPSS laser micro machining systems, UV and VUV laser beam delivery systems, UV laser materials processing, applications development, optical damage testing, and excimer laser refurbishment services. JPSA Laser operates a high-performance UV laser job shop as well as a systems engineering and manufacturing business.
