THE WORLD OF
LASER APPLICATIONS
Laser Welding
High Strength Connection of Delicate Components
Coherent laser welding systems deliver better results when joining delicate or heat sensitive parts, or when ultra-fine seams are required. The fast and accurate welding process results in a hermetic seal with up to 80 % spatter reduction and unmatched process stability, reducing the need for costly post-processing.
Laser Cutting
Cutting Widths Below 20 μm
Coherent laser-based systems for tube and flat cutting are ideal for manufacturing devices and instruments that involve the production of fine features in temperature sensitive materials, such as nitinol. Based on an ultrastable granite platform, these versatile systems deliver precise cuts in a wide range of complex geometries with almost no burrs or edge hardening. Plus, a powerful software interface streamlines job setup and production.
Laser Structuring
Custom-Made Surfaces
The laser is an unmatched tool for creating microstructures. Coherent systems can produce features smaller than 15 μm through controlled ablation in a variety of materials, including various polymers utilized in the production of catheters. Surface textures can be optimized for the biological interaction of implants, and die casting molds can be produced using these systems.
THE WORLD OF
LASER APPLICATIONS
Laser Marking
Biocompatible and Durable
There are almost no technical limits to the marking outline and content enabled by Coherent systems, whether it is marking implants, medical devices, or surgical instruments with data matrix codes and UDI marks to ensure traceability. They support shallow marking, 3D marking, grayscale marking, corrosionresistant black marking, and micro marking with character dimensions as small as 10 μm.
Additive Manufacturing
3D Metal Printing
3D metal printing enables rapid production of implants, clasps, partials and telescopic components, eliminating hours of traditional fabrication. Parts can be created directly from CAD/CAM designs in Co-Cr, titanium and most other metals. The Coherent CREATOR is a fully automated system that enables superior personalized dental products and other devices at lower cost, benefiting both the manufacturer and the patient.
LASER SYSTEMS FOR MEDICAL DEVICE
MANUFACTURING
Coherent has been developing laser solutions for medical device manufacturing for more than three decades. In our application labs we work with a whole range of laser systems, latest fiber and ultrashort pulse laser technology. Especially for the medical device industry.
Several hundred new applications are evaluated each year. We invest heavily in faithful and long-lasting partnerships with our customers and leading research institutes. Coherent is a global operating company with production, sales and service sites all over the world. An essential precondition to support distributed manufacturing concepts, for instance research and product design in the USA and large scale production in Asian countries.
