Drilling ceramic using laser energy allows for fast drilling while having precise control of heat, hole placement, and hole quality. Drilling can create through-holes or partial holes for texturing or micromachining requirements. Micro drilling is possible when using short wavelength laser sources giving the ability to drill holes with diameters down to 10’s of microns.

Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS Laser) has a world-class Applications Lab that can test a range of laser sources and optics to determine the optimal setup for any ceramic drilling application. Our engineers also have the automation and part handling experience to offer superior system design for any type of production environment. We offer Free Sample Processing of your specific samples to prove the capabilities of our laser systems!

ADVANTAGES OF LASER DRILLING OF CERAMIC

No Contact Drilling – No drill bits or parts to clean, sharpen, or replace.

Flexibility of Hole Size and Shape – Depending on the specific application and ceramic material being drilled, hole shapes and sizes can be tuned to meet requirements with simple software inputs.

Micro Drilling – Hole diameters down to 10’s of microns can be achieved in thin ceramic using short wavelength laser sources.
